“It’s time to rethink data governance,” said Satyen Sangani, CEO and co-founder of Alation. “If companies are going to be agile in their decision-making, they need their data to be similarly responsive and agile. They also need to drive down the cost of compliance and regulation. A strong data governance program accelerates strategic decision-making and drives efficiency by putting governance capabilities into the day-to-day workflows of every employee.”
