Built by a data team for data teams, Atlan is the active metadata platform for the modern data stack. It stitches together metadata from various sources (Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Looker, Tableau, Postgres, etc.) to create a unified data discovery, cataloging, lineage, and governance experience across all your data assets, from columns and queries to metrics and dashboards. Atlan facilitates a two-way movement of metadata, bringing context back into the tools and workflows that your data team uses every day — for example, in your BI tool when you wonder what a metric on the dashboard means. A pioneer in the space, Atlan has been named a Visionary in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms and a Leader and the only Customer Favorite in The Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Solutions, Q3 2025. Atlan was also recognized by Gartner seven times in 2021, including as a Cool Vendor in DataOps and in the inaugural Market Guide for Active Metadata Management. Today, we power data democratization and AI-readiness at companies like General Motors, Cisco, Autodesk, Unilever, Ralph Lauren, FOX, News Corp, Nasdaq, NextGen, Plaid, and HubSpot. We recently raised a $105M Series C, backed by top investors including GIC, Insight Partners, Sequoia Capital India, and Salesforce Ventures.

Traditional data governance was about control. But the next era is about activation. Forrester’s latest Wave on Data Governance lays this out clearly: the most successful data organizations have stopped asking “How do we govern data?” and started asking “How do we accelerate trust in data & AI?” Some themes that stood out: 1️⃣ 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬- 𝐀𝐈-𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬. Forrester highlights a growing divide between platforms that simply manage metadata and those that activate it- embedding intelligence, automation, and collaboration into daily workflows. It’s about being truly agentic, beyond just marketing claims, where governance drives real, actionable outcomes. 2️⃣ 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. Forrester makes it clear: the best tools are the ones people actually use. Modern governance isn’t a set of static rules- it’s an ecosystem of processes, platforms, and practices that business and technical teams adopt because it helps them move faster. 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤. Forrester introduced a customer feedback dimension in this year’s evaluation, signaling that the time for governance initiatives with zero or unclear ROI is over. Delivering measurable value to users is the new standard. 4️⃣ 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. The report points to a vision of “agentic AI” for governance- systems that anticipate risks, enforce policies proactively, and reduce manual oversight. This isn’t about dashboards and reports; it’s about governance that runs in the background, scaling as fast as your AI initiatives. 5️⃣ 𝐀𝐈 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥. Data leaders are no longer treating AI governance as a separate layer. It’s being baked into enterprise governance strategies- covering everything from lineage of models to unstructured data handling- because AI without governance is just experimentation at scale. 6️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝. Governance can’t live in IT anymore. Forrester emphasizes role-based personalization- giving data scientists, business users, and stewards tailored ways to engage with policies and workflows. This shift from gatekeeping to enablement is what makes governance stick. The message is clear: Governance has moved beyond compliance. It’s becoming the operating system for AI-native enterprises.

Still feeling the adrenaline 🏎️ Earlier this week, we hosted Snowflake, Sigma, and phData at BMW Performance Driving School in South Carolina- a full day of geeking out over Metadata Lakehouse, Snowflake DMFs, Atlan’s MCP server and more… before we even hit the track. The highlight of the day? A real-world, full-stack talk to data solution- Snowflake as the engine, Atlan for context, Sigma as the interface, and phData tying it all together with the right people and process. Huge gratitude to our partners for showing up ready to learn, share, and build together for the #HumansofData! 💙
Most AI projects go something like this: 🚀…😬…🕳️ Only 1 in 4 AI experiments ever make it to production.The rest? Stuck in what we call the “AI Value Chasm”- that tricky gap between experimentation and reality. Good news: At Atlan, we've been working towards bridging this gap. At Atlan Activate (Aug 21), we’re unveiling tools to help your AI projects survive and thrive: 🧠 AI Governance Studio: Track what your AI’s *really* up to ⚙️ Data Quality Studio: Stop AI from “hallucinating” on bad data 🧱 Metadata Lakehouse: Context. At scale. For humans & agents. Come hang out and help your projects actually survive this time. 🔗 Link in comments!
AI Agents work better when they know your data. In this demo, Gene Arnold shows how connecting Atlan’s MCP Server to an n8n AI Agent instantly expands its capabilities- adding real-time context, metadata access, and governance. And this is just a preview. On Aug 21 at Atlan Activate, we’re unveiling how MCP powers the new Metadata Lakehouse- and launching tools like the AI Governance Studio and Data Quality Studio to help teams make AI reliable and compliant. Check out the demo and join us at Activate to see what’s next! Link in comments.

POV: Your AI is supposed to transform the business. But messy, contextless data keeps it from even getting off the ground. That's just reality. Today, 3 out of 4 AI pilots fail in production. The problem isn’t the models- it’s the missing context about your data and business. Most models today don’t know what your data means, what’s sensitive, or what’s usable. That's exactly what we've been building toward at Atlan. We're excited to unveil the next chapter of Atlan at Atlan Activate- our biggest product launch event. Join us to get a first look at: 🧠 A new #AIGovernance Studio built to govern AI like data ⚙️ Data Quality Studio that ensure AI only uses data that's fit-for-purpose 🧱 The world’s first #MetadataLakehouse - infrastructure that will power analytics & AI agents ✨ Next-gen "Talk to Data" use cases enriched with context ... and more!
