Ascend.io Expands Its Unified Data Engineering Platform and Accelerates the Economics of Data with the Release of Ascend Govern
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascend.io, the data engineering company, today announced it has expanded the Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform with the addition of Ascend Govern, a first of its kind suite of tracking, reporting, and security capabilities for a more granular understanding of how data is being used throughout an organization. Ascend Govern records and permanently maintains an in-depth understanding of the linkages between code, data, and users, providing a level of visibility and auditability never before possible. "Until now, data teams have been largely unable to answer questions about the true cost, value, and ultimately, the ROI of their data initiatives," said Steven Parkes, CTO at Ascend.io. "These questions on the 'Datanomics' of the business are vital in demonstrating the business value of data-driven initiatives. Ascend Govern is the first solution to provide the confidence data teams need to know exactly where data came from, where it's going, what it costs, and what the eventual value is, providing an unprecedented level of understanding to the business." Unlike current siloed solutions, Ascend enables modern data governance with a unified and integrated approach to cataloging, lineage, security, and reporting. Backed by the platform's DataAware™ intelligence, Ascend observes and maintains detailed records of data movement and processing, code changes, and user activity. This introduces a number of data governance capabilities never before possible from large-scale data management architectures, including:
The Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform Ascend Govern is the latest advancement of the Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform, the only platform that gives data teams 10x faster build velocity and automated maintenance for modern data pipelines. Key features of the Ascend platform include:

Additional Resources About Ascend.io Ascend.io, the data engineering company, provides the only unified platform for data pipelines with 10x faster build velocity and automated maintenance. Data pipelines are the backbone of modern data systems and require a modern approach to meet the exploding demand for new data initiatives. Evolving beyond traditional ETL and data orchestration tools, the Ascend Unified Data Engineering Platform makes it possible for teams to easily build autonomous data pipelines that dynamically adapt to changes in data, code, and environment. In a radical departure from existing open-source and commercial solutions that require excessive coding and don't operationally scale, data engineers using Ascend can now ingest, build, integrate, run, and govern advanced data pipelines with 95% less code. Ascend's DataAware™ intelligence uniquely observes, understands, and tracks every piece of data, enabling data pipelines to run at optimal efficiency with integrated lineage tracking, auditability, and governance. Freed from maintaining brittle pipelines, data engineering teams can now invest in bringing the growing backlog of business ideas and opportunities to life. By accelerating the journey from prototype to production, Ascend helps data teams drive innovation and deliver insights with a faster "time to why." The Ascend platform can be deployed on top of existing Apache Spark clusters or as a fully managed solution. Media Contact
