## Transcript

**Cortney Worthy, Data Governance Lead, Dropbox**

Dropbox is a very unique organization. We have a lot of systems that are built in-house, so we needed the flexibility to be able to go in, and make the catalog our own.

I think Atlan provides that flexibility through APIs so we can push and pull (from) any of those systems to the catalog, or any of that metadata to the catalog, which is one of our top priorities.
