Overview
Modern data governance leaders understand the importance of high-
quality data and are searching for the role that governance should play in
delivering high-quality data, and how to implement that approach to data
governance. That may seem strange given the volume of available material
from ‘independent experts,’ but the truth is, legacy approaches are complex,
resource-intensive, and feel imposed on the business rather than for the
business. In a word, the experts are failing and smart leaders are looking for
a better answer.
Alation offers a new and fresh approach to data governance with a focus on
building a community of business experts who are invested and committed
to improving their organization’s effectiveness and data literacy.
