DataGalaxy

DataGalaxy, founded in Lyon, France, in 2015 by Lazhar Sellami and Sébastien Thomas, is a pioneering company in the field of data governance and data cataloging. The company offers a user-centric platform designed to help organizations understand and manage their data assets effectively. DataGalaxy's innovative Data Knowledge Catalog is dedicated to providing user-friendly metadata mapping, active metadata management, and knowledge sharing to support organizational data governance and literacy. This approach aims to bridge the gap between business and technical users by fostering a common understanding of data, which in turn accelerates processes, reduces costs, and ensures regulatory compliance.

The platform is designed for collaborative data governance, enabling teams across an organization to access and share reliable, up-to-date data knowledge in real-time. It caters to both IT and business users, facilitating a shared understanding of company data and allowing them to focus on creating value from that data. DataGalaxy's solution supports various data-related initiatives, including regulatory compliance (like GDPR), the implementation of a comprehensive data catalog, and the optimization of data team performance. The platform features an extensive library of over 70 connectors for both modern and legacy data stack tools, ensuring real-time cataloging and data observability. For more customized integrations, DataGalaxy provides a fully open knowledge graph with a documented API and a Python SDK. Key features include a business glossary, active metadata management, data dictionary, data analytics, search and discovery, data lineage, data exploration, and data traceability. The company also utilizes an AI-powered data steward called Metabot to automate tedious tasks, allowing data teams to concentrate on higher-value activities. DataGalaxy has seen significant growth, serving over 200 customers worldwide, including prominent brands like Dior, Swiss Life, Technip Energies, TotalEnergies, and Sephora. The company operates globally with offices in the US, France, and the UK.
