About this demo
This resource helps teams identify the individuals and roles within their company who could benefit most from Atlan, making it easier to secure adoption and support across functions. By mapping common titles to Atlan’s features and value propositions, it provides a practical reference for understanding who to engage and how Atlan can help them.
For data engineers, Atlan offers lineage to trace and diagnose issues, and impact reports to anticipate downstream effects before they cause breaks. Taxonomists, content strategists, knowledge managers, librarians, and information architects gain a glossary where they can define core business terms and align teams around a shared language. Data analysts, software engineers, and product managers benefit from impact reports and Google Sheets add-ons that make dependencies visible and prevent disruptions.
BI analysts can use the Chrome extension to add metadata and context directly into their dashboards. Security teams gain granular control through personas, purposes, and policies, supporting compliance with frameworks like GDPR. Public reporting teams can centralize metric and KPI definitions, linking them back to source tables and assets for consistency. Business users get richer context around popular tables, views, and dashboards through documentation, while software engineers can publish backend database documentation to improve clarity across teams. Finally, Salesforce admins and users can access additional context and lineage directly within Salesforce, understanding how captured data flows downstream.
By pairing roles with Atlan’s key features, this guide makes it simple to identify potential partners and champions for Atlan adoption. It ensures that outreach is targeted, relevant, and tailored to the problems each stakeholder faces, ultimately driving smoother rollouts and greater organizational alignment.
