Long Setup (> 1 day)

You can use Atlan to build a unified context layer that connects your data warehouses, BI tools, pipelines, and business systems into one living graph. It automatically documents data assets, generates business definitions, tracks data lineage, and enforces governance policies. AI agents and analysts can then query this shared context instead of each team building their own logic from scratch. It connects to 80+ systems including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Tableau, and dbt, and exposes certified context via MCP, SQL, and open APIs.
