More new customers than ever selected our industry-recognized Ataccama ONE data management platform in Q3 to help them solve their data quality issues and deliver tangible value to their organizations.
At Ataccama, we work closely with our customers to innovate together, develop best practices in data management, and establish trust in data across their organizations. A number of our customers shared insights from their data journeys with us at Ataccama FWRD, our recent industry event for data leaders, including Nissan, iA Financial Group, Teranet, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Vialto.
Product innovation
In our latest product update, Ataccama ONE v15.3 provides enhanced capabilities in the areas of AI, productivity and security to better support data teams to build trust in data to support business initiatives.
With high-quality, trustworthy data, organizations can confidently protect sensitive and PII data by managing access and applying appropriate security controls. Ataccama ONE now provides:
- Automatic data hiding to prevent misuse, unauthorized access and data leakage or breaches, so data samples are only available to relevant users.
- An extension to the existing integration with Microsoft Azure Key Vault so data teams can now connect their HashiCorp directly, keeping credentials managed in one central place.
- Data slicing for only running the data quality monitoring on the latest increment so users can now speed up data processing and reduce resource consumption.
- AI generation of test data at the click of a button to save time and create more complete rules that include edge cases.
Driving best practices for data trust
Recently, our Chief Product Officer, Jay Limburn, spoke with The Ravit Show at Big Data London about the connection between data quality and better business outcomes in the modern enterprise. Discussing the evolution of the CDO role, he shared “there’s been a shift in focus from AI to getting closer to the business, to drive support for data initiatives by putting data into the hands of the business to deliver value”. Jay was also interviewed by EM360 Tech about the key data management trends and emphasized the importance of cultivating trust in enterprise data to enable business initiatives.
Our AI expert Roman Kučera presented on Large Language Models in the Enterprise at an expert forum in Prague for data practitioners organized by industry body DAMA. Part of DAMA International, the global community for data management experts, this Czech conference aims to advance the concepts and practices in data management within the local technical community. We were proud to be a part of this important initiative and share our recommendations while engaging with attendees on their visions for developing, promulgating and adopting best practices.
Increasing depth in our Strategic Advisory Board
In addition to adding a record number of customers in the last quarter, we also added three data leaders to our Board.
- Akhil Lalwani is Chief Data Officer at Convex and brings deep expertise in financial services and telecommunications sectors.
- Andrew Foster is Chief Data & Analyst Officer at M&T Bank and has a proven track record of leading high-performance teams against complex data deliveries within investment banking environments.
- Randy Bean is an advisor to Fortune 1000 organizations and best-selling author of "Fail Fast, Learn Faster: Lessons in Data-Driven Leadership in an Age of Disruption, Big Data, and AI". Randy was a guest speaker at Ataccama FWRD on the evolving role of the CDO/CDAO.
They join the other data leaders on our Board, Krishna Cheriath and Fred Bemant, to provide best practice insights and guidance to Ataccama as we scale our go-to-market and expand our presence in key markets including North America, the U.K, DACH, and Australia and New Zealand.
Industry recognition
Following our recognition earlier in the year as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Automated Data Quality Solutions 2024, we were excited to be named a Strong Contender in the Forrester Data Catalog Wave Report 2024. This first-edition report evaluated data catalog providers and selected Ataccama for its unparalleled data quality, observability, and vision to deliver trust in data to enterprise customers. In particular, our generative AI capabilities that enable self-service for business and technical users were highlighted as a key benefit that distinguishes our solution.
In Q3, we published a Total Economic Impact report created with Forrester Research to help our customers understand exactly how much value our platform delivers and help them make an investment case. Over a period of three years, the Ataccama ONE platform delivers at least 348% ROI for enterprise customers and provides a significant positive financial impact worth $15.54 million from derived benefits.
Better together with our partners
In Q3, we launched our new program for solution partners to become Ataccama accredited. Since the program rolled out, we have seen a 250% increase in certifications and are on track to double bookings with partners by the end of the year. This essential investment enables our partners to grow with us, scale their data management practices and provide customers with greater choice and support.
We continued to deepen our engagement with our technology partner, Snowflake, and were delighted that our field CTO Marek Ovcacek was featured as a guest speaker on its Powered By series. Marek delivered a live demo of the Ataccama ONE data management platform and discussed the importance of data quality to provide trusted data from which business users can pull reliable insights.You can listen to the episode here.
