Data Producers

As we wanted to decentralize the responsibility for data in our organization, the Actian Data Intelligence Platform was not only a tool that helped us, but it was also one of the foundations that made it possible in the first place. The platform has a great user interface; it’s very clean, slick, and easy to use. Our users liked it from day one. It makes it easy for them to figure out what data products we have, where the data is coming from, and in what visualizations the data gets used. Also, they always know who to contact if they have questions about a specific data product.

With the Actian Data Intelligence Platform, we were able to centralize our analytics & BI data into a single solution. The data catalog design via the Studio app enabled data transparency and clarity in the documentation of our data assets, while the Explorer app enabled our end users to find the right data for their respective use cases via its data discovery features, which represented a big advantage for Lufthansa Cargo.

What we value about the Actian Data Intelligence Platform is its agility and the way its teams involve customers in managing the product roadmap, along with a very active user community for sharing best practices. On the technology side, it’s above all their compatibility with all clouds, especially AWS in our case, as well as the flexibility of their metamodel with the ability to create our own properties that best suit our context.

We chose the platform’s data catalog solution after a thorough review of the solutions available on the market, as it was perfect for Gewobag: it is available in German, it automatically connects and synchronizes metadata from all of our sources, and it is unrivaled in terms of flexibility and configurability of properties and metamodeling. In addition, the product’s user-friendliness seduced our data teams, and we hope that it will have the same recognition from the business users. Finally, we were accompanied by sales and support teams who carefully listened to us and adapted the product to our specific needs, right from the POC phase.

Actian Data Intelligence Platform and Stellantis have a very solid relationship. On the one hand, they provide the data catalog we needed, offering a pure experience for our end users: they log in to the platform, and everything is cleaned, organized, and simple. On the other hand, Actian’s teams are doing a fantastic job putting up with us, to meet our numerous requirements and challenges by always opening their hearts, sharing, and discussing with us.

In our opinion, only the business functions can truly transform the company into a data-driven one. The platform’s Data Catalog is the tool they need – efficient and usable – so that they are fully aware of the data they have available. It builds the bridge between business and data at Autostrade. From a business perspective, it is fast, complete, easy to understand, and user-friendly. Whereas from an IT perspective, it is agile, scalable, and continuously upgradeable.
