Alation Inc. is credited with creating the data catalog product category.[2]

Alation is a venture-backed, B2B enterprise software company based in Silicon Valley. Its solutions are focused on data governance, analytics, and data management.[3][4] The company’s primary product, Alation Data Catalog, uses machine learning to catalog an organization’s data across cloud and on-premises file systems, databases, data lakes, and data warehouses.[5] The company’s customers include AbbVie, American Family Insurance, Autozone, Cisco, Exelon, Finnair, Munich Re, New Balance, Pfizer, Scandinavian Airlines, and U.S. Foods.[6] [7]

Alation was founded in 2012 and launched its first product in 2015 to give data consumers  an easy way to search for enterprise data with natural language.[8]

The company takes its name from the word alation, which means “the state of being winged.”
