Overview

Anomalo x
Alation

Anomalo is a founding partner of Alation’s Open Data Quality Initiative, and interoperates with Alation natively as a best-of-breed data quality and observability partner. The combination of Alation and Anomalo can help organizations improve their data quality, governance and trust, while also enabling them to collaborate more effectively and make more informed decisions.

With Alation’s data catalog, users can easily search and find relevant data assets across their organization. And with the native integration with Anomalo, users can quickly identify data quality issues associated with these assets directly in the Alation UI, enabling them to make more informed decisions about the data they use.

“Our research shows that data quality is the most impactful data governance issue organizations face, affecting 89% of survey participants,” said Dave Menninger, SVP and Research Director, Ventana Research. “Alation’s Open Data Quality Initiative will help organizations more easily establish and maintain quality and trust in their data.”
