Provides complete visibility across complex, modern data stacks to build reliable, AI-ready dataROUND ROCK, Texas, May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Actian , the data division of HCLSoftware, today launches Actian Data Observability, which leverages AI and machine learning for comprehensive data quality monitoring as well as anomaly detection and resolution. By ensuring high data quality and trustworthiness, Actian helps enterprises accelerate AI initiatives, increase the speed of innovation, and reduce risk.Traditional data quality approaches lack real-time capabilities and struggle to keep pace with the exponential growth in data volume and velocity. Actian Data Observability addresses these limitations, providing comprehensive and continuous monitoring across the entire data ecosystem. Gartner® statistics confirm the growing importance of data observability, noting that "By 2026, 50% of enterprises implementing distributed data architectures will have adopted data observability tools to improve visibility over the state of the data landscape, up from less than 20% in 2024."¹"Enterprises depend on data to power decisions, drive AI initiatives and meet regulatory demands—but too often face unreliable data, hidden quality issues and ballooning cloud costs," said Emma McGrattan, CTO at Actian. "Actian Data Observability gives teams the visibility and confidence they need to trust their data, reduce risk and control spend—turning data from a liability into a competitive advantage."Unlike reactive, rule-based approaches, Actian Data Observability defines and runs thousands of data quality rules concurrently across the entire data landscape. Monitoring includes critical dimensions such as freshness, volume, schema drift, distribution patterns and custom business rules
Actian has teamed with Arrow Electronics, a global technology solutions provider, to distribute the full portfolio of Actian data management and intelligence solutions in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Actian has promoted longtime Ingres engineer emma McGrattan into the role of chief technology officer.
