A catalog built for teams who use data, not just manage it
Adoption not shelfware
A data catalog built for every user, not just engineers, gets used. Role-specific Studio and Explorer experiences mean business users find data without filing a ticket.
Enable self-service data
An enterprise data marketplace with trusted and governed data products means your users can find the data they need for self-service analytics, fast.
Be AI-ready
Rich, accurate metadata gives your AI projects the context they need to produce reliable results: lineage, business definitions, and usage patterns all in one place.
Make compliance easier
Granular data lineage and a full PII inventory give compliance and risk teams the visibility they need, without waiting on a data engineer to pull it for them.
One data catalog, every use case covered
Improve your data’s searchability and availability
- Context-aware search: It’s easier to find relevant data products, visualizations, definitions, and more because Actian’s search is powered by a federated knowledge graph—meaning results based on concepts, not just keywords.
- Enterprise data marketplace: Your users can browse and discover trusted data products in a single central location, helping them independently find what they need and enabling self-serve analytics.
- Automated assistance: Discoverability-boosting tasks like categorization, tagging, and updating metadata are faster and easier with built-in AI assistance and automated metadata harvesting and synchronization.
- MCP server: See your data quality results in the AI assistants and agent workflows you’re already using: they’re easily (and securely) shareable via the MCP Server.
- Cloud-native, federated approach: Actian Data Intelligence is accessible from any device because it’s a cloud-native platform.
Upgrade your data governance capabilities
- Business glossary: Create alignment between business and technical teams: build shared definitions for policies, KPIs, and critical business terms like current customer, active account, or net revenue in the business glossary.
- Flexible models: Get powerful enrichment for your data with a flexible metadata template for documentation and an intuitive interface that visualizes relationships between objects, domains, data products, custom assets, glossary terms, and more.
- Active metadata: Understand how complete your data catalog is, how it’s being used, and more with active metadata analytics.
- Conversational analytics: Actian’s integrated AI Analyst lets users query your data and metadata in natural language and get results grounded in your data catalog and business definitions.
- PII and security insight: Achieve compliance faster and protect your sensitive data with tools for security classification, PII identification, and tagging.
Boost your data engineering outcomes
- Smart data lineage: Get better impact analysis and improved business continuity for projects like warehouse migrations, platform transitions, and schema changes when you’re supported by Actian’s smart lineage with field-level granularity.
- Automated updates: Automatic metadata monitoring and synchronization ensure that your impact analysis and data quality troubleshooting are based on your most current metadata.
- Business glossary: Business context is always close at hand with Actian’s unified data catalog and business glossary, while data curation and ownership assignments ensure that any questions go to the right people.
- Data products: Your data teams spend less time answering one-off data requests when users can find trusted, documented data products in Actian’s enterprise data marketplace.
Ensure AI-ready data
- Single semantic layer: Align your data, metadata, and organization around a shared understanding based on a catalog with comprehensive taxonomy and ontology management.
- Steward workflow support: Building a shared context layer is easy in Actian’s data catalog, which features a flexible metamodel template, an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, and visualizations powered by a knowledge graph.
- Data quality and observability: Continuously qualify your data’s validity, verify its readiness, and assess its quality with data observability. AI assistance helps you quickly deploy proactive, shift-left quality rules with 100% coverage.
- Trusted data products: Create, share, and discover customer-centric, contract-governed data products directly in the platform, or import and publish them: Actian supports the ODSC and ODPS standards.
