In a growing company, you can no longer rely on the tribal knowledge of just a few “village elders” to help you understand, manage and leverage data. But how do you get high-quality data into the hands of the people who need it? Can you ensure that it is governed effectively and its use meets regulatory requirements? 

Faced with this dilemma, digital financial services company Oportun turned to the Alation Data Catalog to create a centrally available metadata repository. 

In this session, you will learn about:

    Oportun’s data governance journey
    How Alation encourages a bottom-up approach to data cataloging and governance
    How Oportun successfully uses Alation to manage high-quality data for SEC metrics 
    Who is using Alation and the benefits to Oportun

Hear how Oportun is truly transforming and democratizing knowledge transfer by replacing silos and tribal knowledge with certified, governed, and published data in Alation.
