Synapse Analytics is an integrated platform service from Microsoft Azure that combines the capabilities of data warehousing, data integrations, ETL pipelines, and analytics tools. The Azure Synapse Analytics package further expands our investments into the Azure ecosystem giving data teams the context required to access Synapse assets. The following capabilities are delivered as part of the Azure Synapse Analytics connector:

• Ability to configure this as a connector from the Atlan marketplace.
• Discover Azure Synapse assets (databases, schemas, tables, and columns) in Atlan.
• Preview tables through Sample Data
• Write queries on Synapse Analytics through Insights.

Sigma is a cloud analytics platform that uses a familiar spreadsheet interface to give business users instant access to explore and get insights from their cloud data warehouse. At Atlan we are always looking to support more use cases from more sources, giving data teams the context they need across their entire data estate.

With this new Sigma connector, users can:

• Discover all of their Sigma assets (workbooks, workbook pages, data elements, data element fields, datasets, and dataset columns) in Atlan.
• Gain visibility into column-level lineage from Sigma datasets, elements, and workbooks back to the data source to solve use cases like root cause analysis.
• Open a related Sigma workbook directly from inside Atlan for quick access and analysis.

This integration also surfaces SQL queries associated with Sigma Data Elements into Atlan as metadata.  This allows users to edit and tweak that same SQL query using Atlan Insights to fit their own use cases. From there, the query can then be saved in Atlan as an asset and leveraged in the future for other needs.

As a leading data cloud provider for the modern data stack, Snowflake plays a key role for thousands of companies in managing their data. As a long-time Snowflake partner, we understand that as organizations' use of the Snowflake platform grows, so too do their metadata and lineage needs.

That is why we are expanding our support to include Snowflake streams and pipelines. With this update, Snowflake workflow runs will now ingest streams and pipelines, capturing end-to-end lineage. This new lineage capability with Snowflake assets will further improve visibility for use cases like root cause analysis and impact analysis.

Controlling permissions and user roles is part of any Admin experience, but sometimes changing these permissions can be a time-consuming, manual process. Previously, in Atlan, the default role was “guest” for users that joined Atlan via SSO. This meant that all users had the same permissions, and if a user needed different permissions, an Admin would need to change that manually.

With this release, Admins can now set up default roles for new users joining the Atlan workspace via SSO. With expanded role options for either Admin, Member, or Guest, Admins can now give the appropriate permissions to users as soon as they log into Atlan — no manual intervention is needed.

In the age of the cloud, discovering data assets in your on-premise systems has been a big challenge. Given that a lot of legacy data assets tend to reside in these on-prem systems, it’s critical to catalog and build governance around these assets.

We had earlier created solutions for on-prem installations of PostgreSQL and Oracle which were loved by our customers and based on popular demand, we're now building support for Microsoft SQL Server on-prem databases.

Now you can ingest Microsoft SQL Server on-premise databases and see them in Atlan. This will help in solving major use cases like legacy system discovery and migration to the modern data warehouse.

Documenting metadata is hard. While we can't completely eliminate the process of manually documenting metadata, our Google Sheets integration will speed up the metadata documentation process for data teams.

The new integration with Google Sheets allows you to document descriptions, certifications, and announcements for columns in Google Sheets and sync it all back to Atlan with a single click.

In September 2022, we launched the Oracle Asset package with support for on-prem systems. Then, we heard that you also wanted to bring a cloud instance of the Oracle database into Atlan so that you could preview the data and query it too. 

Drumroll, please? We are very excited to announce that we unlock all that and more with our latest release.

You can now bring Oracle data assets to Atlan and get asset 360° profiles, asset previews, and querying capability if there is direct connectivity established with Oracle. Not just this, if you bring Fivetran enrichment to Atlan, this update will also give you lineage across systems! Go beyond the modern data stack.

Earlier, as a user, you had to use default credentials for querying. With our new update, admins can enforce users to authenticate themselves before they query a connection.

For admins, this means you will be able to better govern who gets to query data. 

For the user, this means you will never stumble upon information that isn't pre-vetted, so you can continue working without any worries. 

Note: Admin will have to enable this via Labs. 

We wanted to share some amazing news with you: Atlan just launched our integration with Fivetran to create the FIRST end-to-end view of the modern data stack. 🚀

By partnering with Fivetran, we're solving a core problem: your analysts, engineers, developers, and data producers have never had full visibility of your data landscape.

When your team doesn't have visibility, your developers might unknowingly make schema changes that break dashboards. Your analysts wake up to frantic calls from business users. Your Salesforce admins delete Fields without realizing the impact on executive reports. We've all been there. As a data team, as data leaders.

Atlan's integration with Fivetran helps you avoid this chaos. 

By leveraging Fivetran's Metadata API, Atlan now builds column-level lineage from your Fivetran sources all the way to BI tools like Looker & Tableau — giving you complete visibility across your modern data stack. 

What does this mean for you?

🏠 Your entire team — analysts, engineers, scientists, and BI consumers — can collaborate together, in one home.

🛠 Developers get complete visibility on how Fivetran pipeline changes will impact BI dashboards and analysts depending on them.

🔎 Analysts are able to trace lineage upstream to find the right engineers and Salesforce fields to investigate broken dashboards.

Preset is built on top of Apache Superset - one of the fastest growing modern data visualizations platforms. 

This release enables Atlan users to start cataloging and discovering Preset assets like Preset Workspaces, Dashboards, Datasets, and Charts. Preset will get support via all API-powered use cases like Lineage as well.
