About Actian DataConnect

Actian DataConnect is a powerful data integration platform that enables organizations to seamlessly integrate, transform, and manage data across diverse sources and destinations—connecting to data whether it resides in the cloud, on-premises, or across hybrid environments.

This release focuses on Data Quality capabilities, providing you with the tools to ensure your data is accurate, complete, and consistent before it flows into your analytics, AI, and business systems.

With Actian DataConnect, you can:

  • Create and edit data quality designs using the visual Data Quality Designer
  • Define validation rules to inspect and cleanse data based on your business requirements
  • Identify data quality issues with intelligent rule recommendations
  • Execute data quality processes using the standalone engine for production environments
  • Deploy on-premise for full control over your data quality infrastructure

The Data Quality Designer provides an intuitive interface for building data quality designs that validate and transform your data, ensuring it meets quality standards as it moves between systems. The standalone engine enables you to run these data quality processes in headless production environments.

The Data Quality Designer offers three design approaches, so you can choose how much you want DataConnect to do for you:

  • Automate Design — minimum user participation: DataConnect creates and chooses the rules for you.
  • Design Assistance — partial participation: DataConnect creates the rules and you choose which ones to apply.
  • Manual Design — full participation: you decide which rules to create.

For details, see Three Design Approaches.

Maps and Processes

Map and process designers are not yet available. These designers will be available in a future release. However, the standalone Runtime Engine continues to support maps and processes from previous DataConnect versions via the command line interface.

Actian DataConnect is designed to help you deliver high-quality, trusted data that's ready for analytics, AI initiatives, and critical business decisions.
