ThinkData Works Launches Automated Warehouse Discovery Solution for Rapid Data Sharing and Management

TORONTO, April 12, 2023 — ThinkData Works Inc., a leading data catalog provider, is launching a first-to-market solution that will accelerate time to value for its adopters. Customers will be able to automatically gather metadata from their preferred warehouse environment, in addition to automatically scanning and virtualizing multiple datasets within minutes, enabling streamlined sharing and management of data.

ThinkData Works’ new warehouse discovery solution offers businesses a seamless way to access virtualized data and metadata from multiple warehouses in a single unified data catalog. This cutting-edge tool provides customers an efficient, centralized way to quickly locate, explore, and analyze critical business data from diverse sources. Accessing decentralized data from a single source of truth eliminates massive burdens that slow down innovation and hamper the productivity of business analysts and data science teams. As an added benefit, the risks and costs associated with data duplication and replication are minimized by managing access via ThinkData Works’ catalog platform.

Furthermore, the warehouse discovery solution provides improved compliance and governance by maintaining data residency. Leveraging the solution’s automated data virtualization and metadata harvesting capabilities, users can tap into data directly from warehouse storage platforms without re-ingestion or relocation. As a result, customers benefit from greater security and control over their data without compromising regulatory compliance.

“The research is proven: juggling multiple data solutions is costly and ineffective. Modern organizations need fewer points of failure and more robust data management,” said Bryan Smith, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ThinkData Works. “We’re thrilled that our new warehouse discovery solution will help our clients maximize the value of their data. This makes it easier and faster to get insights out of information, and that’s ideal.”

“Introducing automated data virtualization and metadata harvesting capabilities to an already-powerful catalog gives business owners and their networks both data and metadata, plus the management and monitoring tools on our platform, in essentially one click,” adds Lewis Wynne-Jones, VP Product of ThinkData Works. “Beyond saving time and cost, it’s a massive win for data culture and democratization. Real-time connections to virtualized data also means enhanced decision-making — better access leads to better insights.”
