Actian, the data division of HCLSoftware, is enhancing the Actian Data Intelligence Platform, formerly known as the Zeenea Data Discovery Platform, to automate data discovery and support governed data usage.
The easy-to-use platform, which follows the acquisition of Zeenea last year, centralizes data catalog, active metadata management, data quality and lineage, data governance, and enterprise data marketplace capabilities, according to Actian.
Actian’s vision for data intelligence is to enable deep understanding of data within relevant business context so enterprises can act based on insights. A unified platform for data discovery, governance, and data democratization is essential to realize this vision, the company said.
Through this integrated approach, enterprises can maximize the value of their data, transforming it into competitive advantage
“As AI rapidly accelerates from ambition to reality, companies must evolve to meet the requirements for quality data that is accessible yet properly governed and understood,” said Emma McGrattan, CTO of Actian. “The Actian Data Intelligence Platform provides deep contextual insights into the data, helping enterprises build the data foundation essential for successful AI initiatives.”
The Actian Data Intelligence Platform is powered by an advanced knowledge graph for easy search and navigation and aligns with modern data mesh architectures.
Unlike traditional data catalog and governance solutions, the platform connects technical data elements with business context to deliver meaningful and actionable data insights, enabling organizations to implement data-driven improvements while maintaining governance, according to the company.
The data stack-agnostic platform integrates with existing data tools and offers two dedicated user experiences for data consumers and data producers.
It features advanced capabilities:
- A modern data catalog with intuitive search and discovery as well as a business glossary to establish consistent business language across the organization.
- Automatic synchronization with data quality solutions and complete data lineage visualization for full clarity on data’s context, quality, origin and transformation.
- Federated data governance balanced with decentralized ownership to ensure security and compliance with regulatory and enterprise-wide standards.
- An integrated enterprise data marketplace using an intuitive, ecommerce-like shopping experience.
A new self-service data access capability in the Actian enterprise data marketplace automates how users request and access data while maintaining governance controls and audit trails. This streamlined approach reduces time spent on data discovery and preparation while ensuring security and compliance, the company said.
The Actian Data Intelligence Platform, which can be deployed across hybrid, cloud, and on-premises environments, is available now.
