"We're making sure to hold folks accountable. It's true ownership. With a contract in place, there's expectations from a central governance perspective, and we're setting up ways to hold them accountable." - Takashi Ueki, Director of Enterprise Data & Analytics (General Motors logo shown with the quote).

## Standardize and define: define once, align early, trust everywhere

Align business and technical expectations early, creating a unified understanding that ensures business-critical data products always meet data consumer expectations.

- **Create with ease** - build contracts in Atlan's UI with automatically updated metadata.
- **Import contracts** - use Atlan's CLI to import pre-existing contracts from your local machine.
- **Use existing metadata** - map critical fields directly into the contract, ensuring alignment from day one.

## Organize and collaborate: one contract, diverse perspectives

Business and technical teams collaborate on data contracts through AI-powered interfaces and CLI tools.

- **Embedded in data products** - SLAs, version history, and data quality rules surface right next to the asset, so anyone can understand and adopt them.
- **Central timeline and versioning** - track who updated a contract and why.
- **Collaborate intuitively with AI** - business users collaborate on contracts through an AI-generated, business-friendly view.
