Govern your data. Trust your AI.
Actian Data Intelligence Platform brings trust to enterprise data. Built-in governance lets you power AI with confidence and ensure every decision is grounded in trustworthy data.
5 barriers holding back your AI
Most AI initiatives never make it to production. AI doesn’t fail because of bad algorithms. It fails because of bad data. Without accuracy, context, and governance, even the most advanced models deliver flawed insights and erode trust. The result? Wasted AI investments, frustrated teams, and unrealized business value.
Teams waste hours searching for datasets while relevant information remains hidden across disconnected systems.
Without lineage visibility and quality checks, no one knows if the data feeding AI models is accurate or current.
Technical metadata alone isn’t enough. AI agents need semantic understanding and business definitions to be truly useful.
Without proper controls, AI projects create compliance risks and can’t scale beyond departmental pilots.
Fragmented tools and manual data preparation prevent organizations from moving AI initiatives into production.

FAQ
Data intelligence is the process of transforming raw data into a trustworthy and valuable business asset. It goes beyond simply collecting data; it focuses on understanding its complete context—what it is, where it came from, who owns it, and how it has been used. By leveraging knowledge graph and data observability to analyze this metadata, data intelligence automates the discovery, classification, and quality assessment of data. This empowers everyone in an organization, from technical experts to business users, to easily find, understand, and trust the data they need, leading to improved decision-making, greater operational efficiency, and stronger data governance.
See how the Actian Data Intelligence Platform accomplishes these requirements through a virtual tour.
Actian Data Intelligence Platform is a cloud-native, AI-ready data intelligence solution, powered by a federated knowledge graph, that fundamentally transforms how organizations manage and discover data. Our platform leverages the knowledge graph technology to create intelligent, multilateral relationships between data assets across your entire enterprise data ecosystem. This federated approach enables the platform to automatically understand context, provide rich search results, and deliver intelligent recommendations while creating a thriving data marketplace where teams can discover, share, and leverage trusted data products. The knowledge graph foundation powers both Studio (for data stewards) and Explorer (for business users) applications, ensuring seamless data discovery and governance at enterprise scale.
Our platform offers two dedicated applications tailored to distinct user personas and workflows.
- Explorer is designed for business users and data consumers who need efficient data discovery without technical complexity. It provides a user-friendly interface with customized exploration paths, intuitive search functionality, and marketplace-style browsing that makes data discovery accessible to non-technical teams across the organization.
- Studio is the comprehensive data management application that enables data stewards, data engineers, and governance teams to manage, maintain, and enrich documentation of enterprise data assets. It features advanced metadata management capabilities, automated documentation tools, governance workflows, and administrative controls for maintaining data quality and compliance standards.
Our platform’s built-in scanner and APIs automatically collect, consolidate, and link metadata from your entire data ecosystem. We support extensive data connector integrations, including Snowflake, Azure, AWS, Tableau, Power BI, SQL Server, Oracle, SAP, MongoDB, Databricks, and over 50+ other enterprise data sources. You can see the complete list on our Connectors page.
The automated metadata extraction eliminates manual documentation tasks while maintaining real-time synchronization with your data quality solutions and existing infrastructure.
Our smart data lineage capabilities provide complete visibility into your data’s lifecycle from collection to consumption. The platform automatically maps relationships between systems, applications, and reports through an interactive, user-friendly lineage graph. This enables data teams to identify data transformations easily, understand dependencies, trace data flow across the enterprise, and ensure regulatory compliance. The lineage visualization aids in the impact analysis of downstream systems, reports, or applications when changes are made to a specific data source or business logic.

Our platform automatically synchronizes with your existing data quality solutions, enabling users to view data quality metrics directly from the discovery phase of their use cases. This immediate visibility into data trust indicators enables organizations to make more informed decisions by allowing data users to assess data trustworthiness before issues arise quickly. The integration eliminates the need for separate quality assessment processes while maintaining confidence in data-driven decision making.

Actian transforms data governance from a traditional burden into an agile, automated framework that empowers data stewards to deliver trusted, compliant, and secure enterprise data at scale.
We enable automated data stewardship through powerful documentation capabilities and metadata management. The Platform ensures regulatory compliance by automatically identifying, classifying, and managing personal data assets at scale. Using smart recommendations, the platform detects personal information and suggests which assets to tag, making sure that data policies and regulations are clearly communicated to all data consumers across the organization.
We offer:
- Intelligent data discovery through AI-powered search capabilities.
- Automated business glossary that enables data literacy across the organization.
- Customizable documentation that supports compliance at scale.
- Smart recommendations, reducing manual tagging and classification overhead.
Actian addresses historical governance challenges of complexity, limited access, and unnecessary restrictions by delivering automation that makes governance an enabler rather than an obstacle to business success. Learn more on our data governance page.
