FirstEigen and Alation

FirstEigen and Alation partnership to boost seamless integration of autonomously generated Data Trust Scores into Data Catalog

 Data Quality validation leaders FirstEigen have announced their partnership with Alation, experts in enterprise data catalog and data governance. FirstEigen’s software DataBuck provides a Data Trust Score for every data asset on the Alation catalog, autonomously, and without human intervention or complex integration efforts.

Alation’s active data governance helps organizations drive data culture by democratizing data discovery and access for all users, regardless of technical skillset. FirstEigen complements their investment in the data catalog and governance platform by providing objective view on the health and usability of the data asset.

Seth Rao, the CEO, FirstEigen, emphasized that “it’s not sufficient for Data Catalogs to operate in a silo. Companies can get greater value if they get an objective data trust score for every data asset. A system where individuals give subjective opinions on trustworthiness of data is a beauty contest that is not scalable when 1,000’s of data sets have to be validated constantly.”

The FirstEigen-Alation partnership will benefit their growing customer base with:

• Greater trust in the data and the catalog with the availability of standardized, objective Data Trust Scores for every data asset
• Lower data maintenance costs by automating a labor-intensive task from 4-6 weeks per data set to a few mins
• Easy to democratize data within the corporation
• Easy to integrate and implement the catalog and data quality tools
