Coalesce is unifying data transformation, metadata, and governance into one AI-powered platform, giving data leaders the context and automation needed for a solid AI foundation. Here’s how we think that works:
AI is only as smart as the data that fuels it. Coalesce weaves metadata through every step of the data lifecycle so pipelines are explainable, governed, and AI-ready.
Stop stitching together catalogs, governance layers, and transformation frameworks. Coalesce replaces fragmented tools with a single metadata-first experience that streamlines delivery and cuts through complexity.
While traditional catalogs document, Coalesce operationalizes. Activate metadata to standardize builds, automate rote steps, and bridge the gap between policy and production.
Move past reactive work and finally find time for deep work and experimentation. Coalesce caters to the needs of all data professionals including engineers, analysts and stewards with an intuitive, AI-augmented experience that’s constantly improving.
