Collate® is a managed OpenMetadata service for data and teams at scale
Designed for cloud natives and enterprises transforming how they manage their data discovery, observability, and governance
The Collate Platform
Running open source OpenMetadata requires DevOps, infrastructure, and staffing. Collate's managed OpenMetadata service not only frees teams to focus on their core responsibilities, but also provides additional capabilities designed for data and teams at scale. Features include automation controls, generative AI data services, leadership dashboards, and more, all while providing the additional privacy, security, and support tailored to the needs of your metadata.
