In order to facilitate contextual data discovery and enable users to take action on data intelligence within Chrome, data intelligence provider Alation Inc. is developing Alation Anywhere for Google Chrome.

In order to facilitate real-time, enterprise-wide decision-making and speed up time to value, Alation claims that the extension enables users to easily search, preview, and obtain crucial metadata from Alation without ever leaving their browser. The most recent addition to Alation Anywhere, the extension incorporates data insight into Google Sheets, Excel, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.

Furthermore, the new extension removes the need to abandon Chrome by displaying important data intelligence—like definitions of business terms, metadata previews, and database details—directly in the browser. Enterprise users can work together more successfully, analyze data more quickly, and make wise decisions if they are given accurate, contextual, and up-to-date data at the right time and place.

The flow of data from many sources is overwhelming enterprises today, making data environment management previously unheard of, according to Diby Malakar, vice president of product management at Alation. By providing trustworthy, controlled data directly into the user's browser, the Alation Anywhere for Google Chrome Data extension tackles this issue head-on. It enables teams to locate, comprehend, and act upon data instantly—without interfering with their productivity. In today's decentralized, data-driven world, this is more than simply a productivity tool; it's an essential resource that speeds up decision-making, lowers mistakes, and produces significant economic results.
