Published

By

Intelligent and autonomous, the Ataccama ONE AI Agent accelerates data quality assurance, reduces operational costs and alleviates complexity to deliver clean, trustworthy data across the enterprise.

BOSTON, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ataccama today announced the launch of the Ataccama ONE AI Agent, the first independent data companion of its kind which fundamentally changes and accelerates data management. A significant leap forward in autonomous AI for data management, the Ataccama ONE AI Agent is part of the Ataccama ONE data trust platform and can independently execute complex tasks with minimal guidance. The agent intelligently chooses the best approach for assigned tasks, self-corrects as necessary, manages the complex data requirements independently and delivers transparent outputs for users to review.

“Agentic AI is the next milestone in the evolution of AI, but for these intelligent systems to be capable of making decisions and taking actions autonomously, there needs to be trust in data,” said Jay Limburn, Chief Product Officer at Ataccama. “Agents within enterprises will enable AI systems to interact and collaborate, and data trust will become paramount for effective cooperation and problem-solving. Ataccama is delivering the data trust bridge needed between data sources and data consumers with our Ataccama ONE unified data trust platform which offers data quality, observability, lineage, governance and master data management in a single solution. Purpose-built AI tailored for specific tasks like data management will boost efficiency, support ethical interactions among agents, and facilitate human and AI collaboration to uphold industry standards and ensure trustworthy outcomes.”

The Ataccama ONE AI Agent builds on the early reasoning and automation of the existing AI and machine learning copilot capabilities available today to provide a high level of independence. Utilizing powerful AI-powered tools, it acts as a dedicated data companion to automate a wide range of data quality configurations including bulk DQ rule creation, intelligent DQ rule mapping, and automated DQ evaluation, and answer queries for finding data assets to help business and technical users. Every AI-generated result provides transparency for its decision-making with clear explanations for its actions which enables users to minimize the risks with data utilized and stored, identify potential issues and quickly take corrective measures.

Designed for data engineers and business users, Ataccama ONE AI Agent reduces manual efforts to accelerate data quality assurance, expedite data cleaning, streamline processes and reduce operational costs, and facilitates data democratization by bringing clean, trustworthy data to more users across the organization. No technical knowledge is required for any user to manage and examine data quality confidently, allowing human oversight from across the enterprise to ensure reliable data and build trust.

With built-in contextual awareness and comprehension of intent, the agent produces more accurate, insightful and valuable outcomes. Trained on data management expertise and best practices and the Ataccama ONE unified data trust platform, the agent leverages the power of the ChatGPT 4 model to integrate external knowledge for it to adapt and respond to diverse tasks appropriately.

Ataccama has been leading in AI-driven data management since 2016, with Ataccama ONE AI being released in general availability in 2023. Recently, Gartner recognized Ataccama as an Emerging Specialist in its Gartner Innovation Guide to Generative AI October 2024. The only pure-play data management provider to be included in the AI Knowledge Management Apps / General Productivity Vendors category, Ataccama’s position recognizes its market understanding, innovation, products and services, and overall viability with purpose-built generative AI offerings for specific use cases.

MG Moving Teams Up to Titan Up in Tampa

Published

MG Moving CEO Steve Kuhn joins an industry specialist panel in 3-day Moving Titan Retreat amongst hundreds of the up-and-coming moving organization attendees located throughout the country.

STERLING, Va., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “Moving Titan Retreats represent the future energy of the moving industry,” says MG Moving CEO Steve Kuhn. “Events like the one we just attended in Tampa will easily become more meaningful than the conferences in recent years sponsored by large associations that pay little or no attention to small and mid-sized moving companies looking to grow.” (www.mgmoving.com)

Wade Swikle, CEO of 2 College Brothers Franchising Systems, LLC, Co-Founder of Moving Titan Retreats, LLC, and Host of the longest running industry podcast, “Grow Your Moving Company”, was happy to see attendance for the October retreat double from the previous retreat and happy to see involvement from all sized companies. “We were pleased to have Steve as a panelist at the retreat and appreciate the efforts he has made to get involved with the future of the industry,” says Swikle. “I appreciate having him as an industry contact and appreciated him joining my podcast recently also.”

MG has made an effort to reach out to what it considers to be growing companies in the Southeast region since the organization plans to expand its offices between Florida and Virginia over the next two years. The company believes in transparency and knows that learning about the markets it is interested in will be easier by sharing information about itself and getting to know the moving companies active in those areas.

NexMuv CEO Wes Struebing also attended the October Moving Titan Retreat and is appreciative of the venue as a way for companies to actually begin working together, as NexMuv has with MG. “MG Moving has been a great client for us and we look forward to continuing to expand our working relationship,” says Struebing. “There is no substitute for spending time with clients and getting to know them better.”

John Hamilton, CEO of Brooks Moving and Hauling, had a great retreat as well and agrees that the bonds made at the event form lasting relationships that pay off in the long run.

“I have appreciated working with Steve and MG Moving and consider them a strategic partner in advancing our company,” says Hamilton. “The retreat was a great opportunity for attending companies to learn from each other and share best practices.”

MG Marketing Director Andy Lopez is extremely pleased with how involved the company is with events like the retreat and sees value in them that far outweigh the more traditional association events that he suggests have started to fragment. “The energy associated with the Moving Titans Retreat is a huge step up from anything we have been to before,” he says. “We do business with many of the groups we have met through the retreat, and based on how well this went I definitely see us growing that number of strategic partnerships in the future.”

CEO Kuhn is excited about the new MG Moving brand and the momentum that many of the relationships have gained that were formed at outreach events like the Moving Titan Retreat.

“We absolutely will continue to be active in almost all industry events and consider mentorship to be a part of our mission,” says Kuhn, “and I cannot tell you how much we appreciate all the companies we work and partner with. When our partners grow it means we are growing too.”
