Data Contract First Governance

Data trust doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built through structure, accountability, and shared understanding.

That’s why more teams are adopting a data product approach, powered by data contracts that define what data means, who owns it, and expected characteristics. With the Spring ’25 Product Launch, Actian is helping organizations move beyond passive governance and into contract-first data operations that scale.

Building Trust Through Data Products

Join us for a 1-hour launch webinar where we’ll cover:

  • How to create and manage data products that are discoverable, reusable, and governed across domains.
  • How data contracts set clear expectations and ownership—integrated directly into your CI/CD pipelines.
  • What’s new in the Actian Data Intelligence Platform to support federated governance, AI-assisted search, and in-context glossary definitions.
  • How new observability features, like custom metrics and incident workflows, help maintain trust throughout the data pipeline.

Whether you’re building an enterprise data marketplace or trying to bring order to distributed teams, this session will show you how to put structure around your data—without slowing it down.
