Alation helps customers build thriving data cultures while empowering a more curious and rational world.

Alation is the leader in enterprise data intelligence solutions, including data search & discovery, data governance, data stewardship, analytics, and digital transformation. Our goal is to build a data-fluent world by changing the way people find, understand, trust, use, and reuse data. Our initial product offering pioneered the data catalog market and continues to be a leader today. The secret sauce behind the Alation Data Catalog is its people-first approach. We have a strong emphasis on human-generated metadata and logfile-derived insights, powering search and discovery for data analysts along with access-oriented data governance. Coupled with an intuitive user interface, the data catalog is accessible to both the savviest IT professionals as well as data beginners. Beyond our innovation, Alation leads with a unique culture that differentiates us from the competition since our Alationauts are committed to living our values. For example, “listen like you’re wrong” is one value that aligns us with servant leadership principles and prioritizes supporting employees. Nearly 450 enterprises, including 25% of Fortune 100 companies, drive data culture, improve decision-making, and realize business outcomes with Alation, including AbbVie, Allianz Global Investors, Autozone, Cisco, Draft Kings, Exelon, Finnair, Munich Re, NASDAQ, Parexel, Pfizer, Salesforce, and Vistaprint. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Alation has been named to Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces list three times, is a 2022 UK’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, and recognized as a 2022 UK’s Best Workplaces™ in Tech.
