Companies need to scale data architectures and technologies for AI and beyond. Why do we want to scale the usage of data? Because our businesses thrive from that.

We want to share data to create applications fueled by data. We want to use data to push forward with artificial intelligence and machine learning analytics and data and AI assistance. Data engineers and data scientists in companies wants to use data and nothing should stop them, us in this.

So what does it take? How do we reach all the way to the data sitting deep down in our hybrid multi-cloud data infrastructure?

How do we unlock data, use data, get value from data? How do we get confidence in data to do that? Action is introducing the action data intelligence platform.

The heart of this platform is a knowledge graph delivering the key component to bridge data sources and data use cases. This key component is metadata management, the ability to search and discover data to be able to use it.

For this to work, the Actian data intelligence platform connects to the data sources, and the platform itself has three layers that manage the metadata infrastructure, the governance in the platform, and finally the semantic layer tying it all together. These three layers contain features like business rules, quality and permissions, and much more that allow them to deliver maximum value in the data intelligence platform. The final step to make data useful is delivering data packaged as a product complete with contracts that define how a data product is consumed in action.

We think of this as governance by design, and most importantly, everyone searching for data will access the action data intelligence platform in a simple, intuitive enterprise data marketplace with high performing data discoverability that stays fresh and relevant over time throughout all layers of the platform. All components enable a set of horizontal capabilities that allow your company to be compliant to perform data governance as well as AI and ML governance.

And furthermore, these capabilities enable active metadata, observability, and intuitive connection to developer tools. Actian has a rich history in enabling vital strategic usage of data and companies. Now, as Actian looks into the future, it has set sales to deliver a trusted, flexible, and easy to use data intelligence platform to your company.

Because we know that your data is your future.
