Gartner’s newest Data Integration report highlights five new and emerging vendors in the space that offer innovative alternatives to enterprises looking to rethink their data infrastructure. Gartner’s Cool Vendors in Data Integration and Data Quality 2016 report also provides some advice for data and analytics leaders on how to meet the growing demand for integration and assessment of internal and external Big Data sources with structured data within databases and data warehouses.

The enterprise technology research giant recommends that stakeholders “Consider data federation and [data] virtualization capabilities as useful components of an overall data integration technology portfolio, and seek ways in which they can complement or extend existing data integration architectures.” In addition, Gartner also sees a growing trend among the buyers of Data Integration tools in combining them with Data Quality offerings. This grouping of technologies enables organizations to create a coherent solution set that can act as a synergistic foundation to their data infrastructure. Now on to the vendors:

Alation

Alation’s enterprise collaborative data platform empowers employees inside of data-driven enterprises to find, understand, and use the right data for better, faster business decisions. Alation combines the power of machine learning with human insight to automatically capture information about what the data describes, where the data comes from, who’s using it and how it’s used. Alation is based in sunny Redwood City and funded by Andreessen Horowitz, Bloomberg Beta, Costanoa Venture Capital, Data Collective, and General Catalyst Partners. Customers include eBay, MarketShare, Square, and some of the world’s largest finance and retail firms. Why cool?
