This year, Alation hosted our first-ever "Bring Your Kids to Work Day" and held a backpack drive in partnership with Family Giving Tree. Together, Alationauts and their kiddos helped pack backpacks with school supplies for Bay Area students in need. 🎒🖍️ One participant, Vamshi Bhoopalam, shared: 🗣️ "I'm thrilled we were able to exceed expectations and provide even more children with the essential supplies they need to start the school year off right.” Our ELT team also contributed by putting together backpacks during their onsite! Rosanna Sainez, Global Workplace Experience Coordinator at Alation and a co-lead of our Alation Serves Employee Resource Group, shares more about the initiative and her experience at Alation.

What if you could create data out of thin air? It's no magic trick. 🪄🎩 It's synthetic data, which is artificially generated data that mimics the characteristics and structure of real-world data. It can also be essential for organizations that want to harness the power of AI while navigating the trickiness that comes with data privacy, compliance, and ethics. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2030, synthetic data will completely overshadow real data in AI models. 🤯 Learn more about #syntheticdata for AI and how a data catalog factors in. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dUWkBKcP
