Alation, an industry leader in data intelligence solutions market segment, have announced a strategic partnership with NTT DATA, a global IT services leader, to expand its presence in the Japanese market. This agreement positions NTT DATA as a reseller of Alation’s data intelligence platform, aiming to empower more Japanese organizations to find, understand, and trust their data for informed decision-making and accelerated digital transformation initiatives.
The partnership leverages the growing demand for data intelligence solutions in Japan. As organizations increasingly prioritise data-driven strategies, the ability to manage and utilise vast amounts of data effectively becomes paramount. Alation’s data intelligence platform addresses this challenge by providing a centralised system for data discovery, governance, and collaboration.
“We are proud to be the first reseller of Alation in Japan and help more enterprises leverage data as a trusted asset to realize their enterprise transformation goals and drive long-term growth,” said Eyal Mekler, APAC General Manager for Alation. “This partnership with NTT DATA strengthens our presence in the region and allows us to offer our solutions to a wider range of Japanese companies.”
NTT DATA boasts a proven track record in supporting Japanese organizations through digital transformation journeys. Their extensive experience in IT services, coupled with Alation’s data intelligence platform, presents a compelling proposition for companies seeking to unlock the true potential of their data.
“Alation continues to expand its global footprint and strengthens its presence in APAC to help more organizations build a data culture,” Mekler added. “We look forward to deepening our partnerships with NTT DOCOMO and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation, who collectively bring extensive experience supporting Japanese organizations through data-driven enterprise transformation.”
Customer Success and Expected Benefits
The partnership builds upon the success story of NTT DOCOMO, a leading Japanese telecommunications provider, which has already adopted Alation’s platform. NTT DOCOMO has experienced significant improvements in self-service analytics, achieving a 30% reduction in data analysts’ workloads. This translates to faster decision-making and a significant boost to their digital transformation efforts.
The anticipated benefits of the Alation and NTT DATA partnership extend beyond individual companies. By empowering more Japanese organizations to leverage data effectively, the partnership has the potential to fuel innovation and economic growth across the nation.
Addressing Data Silos and Fostering Data Culture
A significant challenge faced by many organizations is the issue of data silos. Valuable data often remains trapped in isolated pockets within different departments, hindering its accessibility and usability. Alation’s platform tackles this challenge by centralising metadata from disparate sources, creating a single source of truth for data assets and products. This allows data analysts, data scientists, and business users to easily find, understand, and trust the data they need to make informed decisions.
This partnership also promotes the development of a strong data culture within Japanese organizations. A data culture fosters an environment where data is valued as a strategic asset, and employees are encouraged to utilise data for problem-solving and innovation. Alation’s platform plays a crucial role in this process by facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing around data, ultimately leading to better decision-making across the organisation.
Looking Ahead: A Promising Partnership for the Japanese Market
The partnership between Alation and NTT DATA represents a significant step forward for data intelligence solutions in Japan. By combining Alation’s cutting-edge technology with NTT DATA’s expertise in IT services, the partnership empowers Japanese organizations to unlock the true potential of their data and accelerate their digital transformation journeys. As the demand for data-driven strategies continues to grow in Japan, this partnership is well-positioned to play a leading role in shaping the future of data intelligence in the region.
