Atlan

Atlan is a Singapore-headquartered technology company founded in 2019, providing a metadata and governance platform that gives enterprises and their AI agents a unified view of where data lives, how it moves and who is responsible for it. The company addresses the difficulty large organizations face when data catalogs, warehouses, BI tools and pipelines each hold separate, disconnected metadata.

The platform builds an enterprise data graph by connecting to more than 80 data sources, then layers on lineage tracking, business glossaries, access governance and AI-generated documentation so both people and AI agents can find and trust the data they use. Customers include General Motors, Workday, Nasdaq and Mastercard, which use Atlan to govern data feeding both analytics and AI systems.

1. Data graph: Connects to 80+ sources to map data assets, owners and relationships in one place.

2. Lineage tracking: Shows how data flows across pipelines, warehouses and BI tools end to end.

3. Business glossary: Defines shared terms and metrics so teams interpret data consistently.

4. Context agents: Generates asset descriptions and classifications automatically using AI.

5. Access governance: Applies policies controlling who can view or use specific data assets.

6. Agent connectivity: Exposes metadata to AI agents through an MCP server integration.
