Have you been looking for an easy way to detect and correct problems in your data in real-time?
If you’re like many other data practitioners, problems in your data are often detected way too late, either by your data quality solution that measures quality after your pipelines have run or by your downstream business users looking at reports or analytics in your live production systems. The pipeline has already run with production data, the cloud bill has run up, and your users are losing confidence. The fix will take an entire development cycle and run up more costs.
Sounds like you need a new data quality solution, right? Maybe not.

Turns out you don’t need a new tool to address this common scenario. Ascend customers have powerful data quality features available directly on the platform today — you could be solving long-running data quality problems right now. The beauty of the Ascend data quality features is that they are focused on action. Let’s look at them in detail.
- Available in every ingest and transform operation
- Operate on the data as it is processing in real-time, not after the fact

Fit Actionable Data Quality into your Data Integrity Strategy
You have probably noticed that Ascend’s features have little overlap with features of other solutions in the data integrity / data reliability / data quality space. Ascend does not compete with those solutions – instead, it provides the missing “last yard” to act on the data directly in your data pipelines.
This “last yard” is crucial to the ROI of all your other investments:
- Catch problems in the data the moment they appear
- Stop wasting time and cloud costs on flawed data sets
- Handle data errors in the data team, not the IT organization
- Leverage the results of your other data quality investments
