Our goal is to build a data-fluent world by changing the way people find, understand, trust, use, and reuse data. Our initial product offering pioneered the data catalog market and continues to be a leader today. The secret sauce behind the Alation Data Catalog is its people-first approach.

Coupled with an intuitive user interface, the data catalog is accessible to both the savviest IT professionals as well as data beginners.
