New Release Delivers Enhanced AI/ML-Enabled Data Quality, Cross-Platform Observability, and Flexible Cloud Deployment to Streamline Data Governance, Accelerate Business Insights, and Ensure Data AI Readiness
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Aug. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Quest Software, a global leader in systems management, data protection, and security software, today released the newest iterations of erwin Data Intelligence and erwin Data Modeler, with advanced data intelligence, quality and modeling capabilities. The powerful solutions provide a comprehensive approach to managing, governing, and leveraging data across complex enterprise landscapes, ensuring organizations are equipped to meet the challenges of AI and beyond.
A modern organization’s ability to effectively manage data goes a long way in determining its future —not only to become a leader in its industry, but to stay in the game at all. As organizations strive to harness the power of AI and advanced analytics, the importance of maintaining high-quality, reliable data has never been more critical.
The 2023 State of Data Intelligence Report highlights data quality and visibility as top challenges for enterprises. Moreover, preliminary findings from the 2024 State of Data Intelligence Report, to be released in October, indicate data quality monitoring remains a top-three data intelligence-related challenge for organizations. Without strong data quality, for example, future AI initiatives will struggle to succeed, and AI’s potential cannot be fully realized.
Quest’s new release directly addresses these challenges by cohesively managing the entire data lifecycle. The solutions integrate cross-platform data observability with advanced data quality management to provide a seamless experience for data reliability and governance across the enterprise. As a result, enterprises maintain a clear and consistent view of their data architectures, ensuring that data models are not just theoretical constructs, but are essential, living components of a dynamic, AI-ready data environment.
“Data is the lifeblood of modern enterprises, and as AI becomes more ingrained in our business processes, every enterprise must confront the critical question: ‘Is my data AI-ready?’” said Bharath Vasudevan VP of Product at Quest Software. “The new Quest solutions offer a comprehensive approach to data management, from modeling to governance, and empower organizations to unlock the full potential of their data, ensuring it is accurate, compliant, and optimized for the advanced insights AI can deliver.”
