The partnership between Alation and Pantomath now integrates native metadata-driven data quality capabilities with end-to-end pipeline observability, creating a foundation for trusted data ecosystems.
The Alation & Pantomath Partnership: Reinvented for the Agentic Era
Introduction
In the AI-powered data economy, trust is the new currency. Enterprises must not only maintain governance and operational reliability but must also ensure AI-readiness by integrating data quality directly into decision-making and data product pipelines. The partnership between Alation and Pantomath now integrates native metadata-driven data quality capabilities with end-to-end pipeline observability, creating a foundation for trusted data ecosystems.
Alation and Pantomath have partnered to address these challenges, delivering a holistic approach to data intelligence. This partnership integrates Alation’s industry-leading data catalog and governance capabilities with Pantomath’s end-to-end data pipeline observability and traceability, creating a unified solution that ensures data is well-documented, well-governed, and operationally sound.
The Modern Challenge: From Data Chaos to Confidence
Enterprises face critical challenges:
· Data Overload & Noise - Not all data is equal; prioritizing quality where it matters is essential.
· Fragmented Governance – Governance without observability creates blind spots.
· Inactionable Alerts – Noisy, siloed quality and monitoring systems drown users in false positives.
· AI Demands Trust – Governance, quality, and observability are now pre-requisites for responsible AI.
This is not just about managing data - it’s about trusting it.

Alation: Governance-Driven, Metadata-Powered Data Quality
· Agentic Data Quality – Alation uses metadata, usage patterns, and governance policies to intelligently prioritize and monitor the health of Critical Data Elements (CDEs).
· Actionable Insight, Not Alert Fatigue – Native data quality integrates seamlessly with the catalog, showing real-time quality score at the point of consumption.
· Policy-Aware Monitoring – Automated rule suggestion and enforcement align with business context and regulatory compliance.
· Open Yet Integrated – Supports both native and third-party observability tools through the Open Data Quality Initiative (ODQI).
