Governance built for the AI era
Atlan has advanced from Visionary to Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant - a validation of our cloud-native platform that uses metadata as a control plane to govern data, analytics, and AI at scale.
The market is shifting: Gartner predicts "Through 2028, 80% of S&P 1200 organizations will relaunch a modern, D&A governance program, based around a trust model."
“By 2027, 60% of governance teams will prioritize unstructured data governance for GenAI, and 74% already use data governance tools for AI governance.” Legacy platforms built for databases can't meet these demands.
- Future-proof, open platform: APIs, ecosystem app framework, and Atlan’s Apache Iceberg-based metadata lakehouse extend metadata intelligence & compliance into any data or AI use case.
- Breadth of context for AI applications: technical, business, and operational metadata in a single context layer to govern talk-to-data analytics and other AI experiences.
- Adoption beyond technical teams: Role-based experiences, embedded workflows, and conversational search help business, compliance, and AI teams self-serve.
- Fast time to value: DIY connectors, automation-first design, policy-as-code, and expert advisory approach deliver business outcomes in weeks, not years.
- Agentic governance & policy orchestration: Define governance policies and standards once, enforce everywhere.

"All of the work that we did to get to a shared language amongst people at Workday can be leveraged by AI via Atlan's MCP server. And as part of Atlan's AI Labs, we're co-building the semantic layer that AI needs with new constructs like context products."
Joe DosSantos
VP of Enterprise Data and Analytics @ Workday
"Atlan is much more than a catalog of catalogs. It's more of a context operating system…Atlan enabled us to easily activate metadata for everything from discovery in the marketplace to AI governance to data quality to an MCP server delivering context to AI models."
