Anjana Data and AWS strengthen their partnership agreement to assist organisations with their data governance strategy

Anjana Data has obtained the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR), which certifies that the platform complies with all the requirements for adaptability and flexibility that make it possible to work well with the AWS Cloud. This not only establishes a seal of guarantee for any Anjana Data and AWS customer, but also positions Anjana Data and AWS to Anjana Data as one of the Data Governance & Analytics Platforms recommended by AWS within the category that AWS recognises as Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and qualifies you to be part of a number of specific AWS partner programmes to accelerate your joint business.

Thus, Anjana Data and AWS take another step forward in their partnership agreement after three years of working together. The reason for the success of this collaboration and the commitment of both companies to take it to the next level is that Anjana Data and AWS share the goal of helping organisations in their Data Strategy with a common vision: “Organisations that do not use innovative technologies as enablers of a modern and flexible approach to the implementation and operationalisation of their Data Governance & Analytics frameworks will be at risk in the short term”.

This new agreement comprises the following lines of work, in addition to those already being worked on jointly by the two companies:

• Development of a Value Proposal to offer our customers our shared vision by implementing a complete, innovative and differential solution, fully integrated natively on AWS.

• Design, development and provision of new integration mechanisms between different parts of AWS and Anjana Data such as the evolution of integrations already existing with IAM, Glue Catalogue y Lake Formation or the development of new integration pieces with DataZone and Cloud Trail.
• Availability of different offers from Anjana Data in the AWS Marketplace, AWS customers will be able to have a much richer Anjana Data deployment experience and benefit from the advantages that AWS offers to its customers who use Marketplace applications.
• Design and development of a specific business and commercial plan This will enable our customers to benefit not only from the power of both companies' solutions, but also from credits, discounts and joint adoption and support plans.
• Launch of joint marketing and communications actions to position our joint value proposition in the market, also giving visibility to the success stories already achieved in our common customers.

In terms of the joint value proposition, a Data Governance & Analytics Platform such as Anjana Data has all the elements of governance and orchestration of the flows of a governance operating model, which is where the roles exercise responsibility for the data. The AWS cloud lacks these functions, but it provides great value in knowing what happens to the data (how it is used, who uses it, where it moves, what that data is and its classification) and all that happens to the data gives us a real and dynamic view of its lifecycle within the cloud environment. All this information is of great value to incorporate into Anjana Data, unifying both visions and capabilities. In this context, the highlights of the Anjana Data and AWS value proposition are:

• Anjana Data complements and extends the capabilities of the cloud-native Data Catalogue. (AWS Glue Catalog) to offer advanced functions for the implementation of proactive and preventive Data Governance, as well as effective and efficient (automation of common technical processes). Therefore, we can say that Anjana Data establishes a business-oriented and technology-agnostic governance layer that extends to the entire organisation (technical and non-technical users) the possibility of using all these capabilities.

• The Data Sharing Agreements Anjana Data add-ons allow users to request access to the data they are interested in within a complete, governed Data Marketplace ecosystem. Through the use of plug-ins, we can leverage the power of Anjana Data and its integration with IAM and Lake Formation to allow such requests to be made on the AWS platform in an automated and controlled manner.

• Anjana Data can provide through plugins interacting with the Apis of the different parts of AWS, both labels and specific columns (Personal Information, Sensitive, etc.) interacting with Glue Catalog and Lake Formation from the Anjana Data Glossary and Data Catalog.
• Likewise, in the other direction, from the various AWS parts, you can invoke the APIs Anjana Data to provide the governance layer with all the low-level data management information that allows non-technical users to have visibility into what is happening with data assets on the AWS platform.
