Ataccama announced the second generation of its Ataccama ONE platform, which consolidates data quality, master data management, data catalog, data governance, data integration, and other data management capabilities into a single platform to maintain data integrity across organizations. Scheduled for general availability in February, the unified solution enables unparalleled automation through an AI-powered self-driving capability. It removes the limitations of monotonous, time-intensive tasks while providing improved agility that businesses require to drive innovation, enhanced trust and security to ensure data governance, and more flexibility in where data resides including support for cloud and on-premises environments.  

Data teams today are working to react quickly to fast-changing business needs, but often, this speed comes at the cost of ensuring data security and governance or delaying critical data insights for line of business users. Furthermore, organizations are limited by historically time-intensive and expensive manual processes. Ataccama's solution streamlines this process, spanning all critical areas of data management and governance for both data teams and line of business users. 

"The rapid push for digital transformation in today's new normal makes it clear that data is every organization's most strategic asset, but data is only as useful as the way you manage it," said Michal Klaus, CEO of Ataccama. "Today companies are burdened with dozens of single-purpose data management tools, crushed by the monotonous task of moving data from one to the next and exposed to increasing risks to data security and integrity at every step. With the second generation of Ataccama ONE, organizations have a single platform that streamlines the entire data management and governance lifecycle and uses AI to learn and automate repetitive functions and prevent mistakes. It's time for enterprises to benefit from self-driving data management and governance and see what they can really do when risk is reduced and talent is liberated." 

Features and Benefits 

Ataccama's second generation ONE platform offers organizations:

A unified fabric: The disparate disciplines of data governance and data management including data quality, master data management, data catalog, data governance, and data processing are now woven into a single, truly unified fabric, stitched together by metadata. This allows enterprises to actively detect, enforce, track, and measure the effectiveness of their data and policies at an enterprise scale. By leveraging just one platform, organizations can start small and grow, using one part of the platform as needed but also being able to quickly add functionality over time without integrating entirely new products.

Self-driving data management at an enterprise scale: Unifying multiple data management disciplines enables ONE to be intelligent and highly automated, liberating organizations from routine, time-intensive tasks at scale - across the entire data ecosystem, all data pipelines, and environments. The platform leverages AI and machine learning to automate work and constantly learns from user interaction. ONE's self-driving capability provides new levels of agility and empowers businesses to innovate at a speed like never before.

No boundaries for data: As companies drastically accelerate migrations to the cloud, the ONE platform removes boundaries on where data resides and can securely and efficiently process data across complex ecosystems not just in the cloud, but any combination of on-prem, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments. Ataccama provides visibility into data, its location, and its quality, allowing the data to be worked with from a central place. It offers peace of mind to organizations that the data is trusted, secure, and governed across all environments, regardless of where it resides.
