REDWOOD CITY, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/13/15 — , the collaborative data company, today announced that it will exhibit, sponsor and demo its platform at , to be held Oct. 18-22 at the in Anaheim, Calif. Alation–s customer eBay will also present a breakout session on how eBay analyst teams are leveraging Alation for governed self-service analysis on Monday, Oct. 19, from 1:30-2:15 p.m. PT.
In the breakout session, Debora Seys, senior product manager at eBay, and Hu (Alex) Liang, director of data programs, product strategy and architect, will present how eBay, one of the world–s oldest, largest and most complex data environments, is moving from the traditional approach of governing analytic processes through heavily engineered metadata systems to the new world of self-service analysis. eBay had made a successful transition to a system where data is governed collaboratively through a combination of machine-learned guidance, asynchronous collaboration and a shared data catalog.
With Alation Smart Suggest technology, eBay analysts not only gather the data faster, but also benefit from how the software learns from and leverages activities by data stewards, subject experts and analysts themselves, to enrich a knowledge base that feeds a just-in-time smart suggestion experience for all data users. eBay will share real-world results using Alation for governed self-service analysis, which include higher system engagement, reduction from hours to minutes searching for trusted data, and increased re-use of trusted and validated data sources and queries.
