KEY QUOTES:
“Today, data assets are not just tables, but code, models, BI dashboards, and pipelines. At Atlan, we are reimagining the human experience with data — why can’t data assets be shared as easily as sharing a link on Google Docs, or if Google Analytics can tell you usage on a website, why can’t we do the same for our data?”
— Prukalpa Sankar, Co-Founder of Atlan
“As the modern data stack becomes mainstream, a collaborative layer that acts as a glue across a variety of tools like Snowflake, Databricks, BI tools, and AI/ML applications, is becoming a necessity. Atlan is bringing a truly collaborative approach to the modern data stack, leading the way like Figma did for design teams or Github did for engineering teams. We are thrilled to welcome Atlan to Insight and advise the team on operations, go-to-market, and product development.”
— Insight Managing Director Teddie Wardi
“As we rolled-out our modern data platform, we were looking for a product that made it easier to democratize our data and was less dependent on someone central answering each individual analyst’s questions on a one-off basis. Legacy solutions in the market were tailored to legacy systems and approaches where IT or a single data stewardship team owns the data. Atlan was the only solution that was built for a collaborative, bottom-up approach. With native integrations with our modern analytics stack like Snowflake and Tableau, Atlan was very easy to set-up – we had all of our data sources flowing within the first day.”
— Danielle Boeglin Ragan, Vice President of Data & Analytics at Techstyle
“We are excited to partner with Insight as their significant expertise in backing ScaleUp SaaS companies will help accelerate our growth.”
— Varun Banka, Co-Founder of Atlan
