We're proud to share that Alation has been named an Inc. Best Workplace for the 5th time! 🥳 🏆 5 times in a row?! Just how do we keep on winning?! We have to say: we're not surprised. Hear from some of our Alationauts what makes our culture so special: 🧡 “We have a lot of people with significant tenure here, and people don't stay somewhere for years where they're not successful and where they’re not enjoying the culture." — Tassia Reinhold, Regional Sales Director. 💙 "The people are the most important part of our company. If we all like each other and we know about each other, we can build a better business.” — Michael Lupo, SVP, Global Sales. 🧡 "Every single person that we hire has what I like to call this do-what-it-takes mentality. And that's something that is very unique, because oftentimes so many people have their day-to-day jobs, and being able to depend on so many people when you raise your hand is something that I haven't always seen in the past.” — Kelsey Malof, Account Executive.

🤷♀️ "Data that is not catalogued is useless to me." — A Fiserv executive. They speak the truth: every piece of data needs to accessible, governed, and ultimately valued through a comprehensive data catalog. 💯 With Alation, Fiserv embarked on a journey to intelligent cloud migration and #AI innovation. 🧭 This journey entailed building "Data Compass" to deliver metadata and business intelligence solutions throughout the business, which provided data intelligence across 250,000+ distinct fields from Fiserv core systems to thousands of registered users. Jim Haas, Chief Data Architect at Fiserv, shared: 💬 "During our cloud migration, part of this is understanding what you have, whether it’s locked up in people’s heads or in spreadsheets flying around in an email. Descriptions of data need to be coming from a central, trusted source…Alation’s central for us for that." Boom. 💥 Head over to the blog from Nick Jewell, Ph.D. to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ePuMfmfX #cloudmigration #alationcustomers #fiserv

The past two days have been data-mazing! We're thrilled to be a part of Alation's series of events designed to equip organisations with data mastery 📈 Through hands-on exploration of the Alation platform in our office, participants learned to enhance data intelligence, streamline discovery and make informed decisions. And earlier today, the engagement continued with an executive breakfast featuring a panel discussion on enterprise data management. Khai Chiat Ong (Partner, Data and Analytics Leader) shared valuable insights alongside other industry experts – diving into data culture, data governance for AI, active metadata management and achieving greater data maturity. A vibrant data-driven culture, supported by effective governance mechanisms and good enterprise data management, is key to building an effective organisation fit for the modern world. We're proud to collaborate with organisations like Alation to equip businesses with tools to unlock the power of data, and we look forward to more collaborations in the future.
