"As data teams, we’ve painted ourselves into a corner. On one hand, no data team wants to be a help desk or dashboard factory, resolving Jira requests for data pulls or cranking out ghosted dashboards. On the other hand, as much as we might resent it, this is some of the most important work we do. Optimistically, we’re victims of our boring successes; cynically, our egos are bigger than our abilities."
“We want to surface everything in the enterprise to the users, but restrict some data in terms of access. I have to go through a request process, but we don’t want to stop them from seeing what exists.”
"Our vision is to become the operating system for commerce in India, through a combination of world-class infrastructure and cutting-edge engineering and technology."

"We need to identify who we define as owners and make documentation fun for them. Success will depend on motivation."
"Implementing a data catalog is about adoption. After taking a look at the best catalogs on the market, I chose Atlan, and I would choose Atlan again if I had to. It’s the best UX, best experience, and best adoption.”
"When I mention Atlan to other competitors, people literally stop replying to us. Because Atlan is such a strong competitor, they know they’ve lost the deal."
“Our role is to manage our global data platform, which is deployed centrally, and used by Aliaxis’ regions to build Data & Analytics projects, We’re here to make sure all of the components of the platform work as they should, but also to define the strategy and roadmap of the platform, like replacing existing components, or introducing new capabilities.”
“I don’t have a technical background, and I started as an Executive Assistant. I got into Sands Capital working for the CTO as a Technology Coordinator, and was exposed to developers and tools, Our CTO thought I’d be a great fit, and that’s how I got into the Data Initiatives Team.”
“Okay, any descriptions we put in our dbt layer will automatically be exposed in Atlan.”
