Actian’s “data contract” principle allows complete visibility and control over distributed data assets, from consumption creation
Round Rock, Texas,, June 25, 2025 / Prnewswire / – ActiveHclsoftware’s data division has announced today improvements in the Actian Data Intelligence platform that allow companies to transform how they make distributed and reliable distributed data at the source before consumption, creating a solid base for IA implementations. New capacities automatize data products and incorporate data contracts to promote greater confidence in data, guaranteeing the accuracy and reliability to accelerate AI and data -based initiatives.
Actian’s “data contract” approach integrated by design governance at the start of the data life cycle using the principles of speed-left through data contracts and automated processes. This ensures that data products, which are created by individual areas, are well documented and easy to use with quality guarantees from the start.
While companies adopt distributed data architectures, the need for data approaches becomes critical. ISG software search Predicted that “by 2027, more than 6 out of 10 companies will adopt technologies to facilitate the delivery of data as a product.” ¹ “
“While companies adopt data products to allow self-service analysis, they require a quality and governance of solid data,” said Matt AslettDirector of research, analysis and data at ISG Software Research. “By incorporating these controls directly into data pipelines, the Actian Data Intelligence platform is designed to allow companies to set up democratization data in complete safety.”
To meet this need, the Actian Data Intelligence platform incorporates data contracts directly into development work flows to define clear expectations, automatically apply compliance and take quality problems before spreading downstream. The result is more reliable results on the AI, a faster time, a reduced risk of compliance and lower operational costs.
To facilitate data discovery, individual areas publish their tailor-made data market products in the Actian Data Intelligence platform. The dedicated APIs record and automatically update data products in continuous and continuous delivery pipelines (CI / CD), reducing manual efforts and ensuring that data catalogs remain up to date.
“The challenge of decentralized environments is not only data management in the fields – it guarantees large -scale quality and governance,” said Emma McGrattanCTO at Actian. “The creation of high-quality documented data products easily accessible with the Actian Data Intelligence platform improves data democratization and allows a data sharing culture, while our data approach provides reliable data from source to consumption.”
The platform supports the ownership of decentralized data, decomposing silos to improve collaboration and democratize data between companies and IT users. With the discovery and consumption of rationalized data, professional users can quickly find, understand and use the exact data they need. The Federated Knowledge Graph’s search engine powered by the platform provides contextual results while maintaining the company’s scale. The access request workflows provide centralized and transparent approval processes with clear audit trails.
To further improve data accessibility, ASK AI, the new natural language query capacity powered by Actian, allows users to search using daily language to ask questions, with relevant results classified by the organization’s glossary. This capacity eliminates technical obstacles and accelerates self-service analysis through organization.
The new capacities work on federated metamodles while providing complete visibility of the data line. When combined with the observability of acian data, organizations can ensure that data products comply with established data contracts. By enriching well -defined data assets with the context, quality measures, lineage and user information, organizations can better take advantage of data for AI and other use cases.
The new data contract and data product features are available immediately in the Actian Data Intelligence platform. The ASK IA capacity is in private overview.
