Ataccama reports 36% QoQ new bookings growth as enterprises turn to trusted data for AI

36% QoQ growth and seven $1M+ total contract value deals mark a decisive shift from experimentation to execution, as enterprises invest in data quality to power AI at scale

Every company wants the payoff of AI. The ones getting there are doing the unglamorous work of fixing the data first. They’re checking accuracy, closing gaps, and putting trust in the information their models depend on.

That focus defined Ataccama’s third quarter. The company reported 36% growth in new bookings quarter over quarter, closed seven $1M+ total contract value deals across new business and renewals, and reached cash flow positivity for the first time since Bain Capital’s 2022 investment. This marks a clear turning point as enterprises move beyond AI experimentation toward measurable outcomes built on trusted data.

“AI only works when the data behind it can be trusted,” said Mike McKee, CEO of Ataccama. “That’s what companies are realizing right now. You can’t automate what you don’t understand, and you can’t scale what you don’t trust. The momentum we’re seeing this quarter shows that leaders are investing in data that’s ready for real-world use, not experiments.”

Product innovation meets market urgency

The latest Ataccama ONE v16.2 release strengthened the link between AI and data management with AI-powered lineage and natural-language capabilities that help users trace and understand information with greater clarity. The release reflects a growing need to make data transparent and accountable, particularly as AI adoption exposes hidden weaknesses.

That shift toward accountability is also reflected in the Ataccama Data Trust Assessment, completed by more than 150 data and business leaders globally since its launch in March. The average score of 42 out of 100 is less a weakness than a wake-up call. For the first time, organizations can see exactly where trust breaks down and how to rebuild it. Across industries, leaders are moving from awareness to action, investing in the processes and platforms that make data quality measurable, improvable, and essential to AI performance.

To see what that progress looks like in practice, look at the organizations already putting it to work. Across sectors, Ataccama customers are translating data trust into measurable results.

• A global manufacturer unified more than 100 enterprise systems into a single source of truth to create a data quality framework that now sustains 99% accuracy across supplier and materials data. 
• A leading homebuilder automated 180 quality checks, transforming its decision-making process with greater visibility and confidence. 
• A national energy coordinator, supported by partners ABC and Arkho, replaced legacy infrastructure with Ataccama’s unified data quality suite to improve reliability and compliance across its national grid.

Gartner spotlights Ataccama for leadership in unified data management

The same momentum, evident in customer results, is reflected in analyst research. Ataccama’s unified approach to data management continues to earn recognition from leading industry firms. Gartner featured the company in its Market Guide for Data Management Platforms and Market Guide for Data Management Solutions in Banking, naming Ataccama among the few vendors that bring together data quality, governance, and observability in a single platform. The guides highlight the growing market shift toward convergence, a direction Ataccama has championed for years as essential to scaling data trust and AI readiness.

The company also contributed to Gartner’s Future of Data Management Markets research, which explores how platform consolidation is reshaping the category and driving innovation around AI and automation.

Adding to that momentum, Forrester recognized Ataccama as a Top 5 vendor in The Forrester Wave™ for Data Governance, citing the platform’s blend of technical depth, usability, and scalability as key differentiators for enterprises seeking to operationalize data trust.

From London, Boston, to Sydney, customers shape the future of data trust

The past quarter brought Ataccama closer to the people, defining what data trust looks like in practice. Through its Customer Advisory Board trilogy, three working sessions in London, Boston, and Sydney, customers and data leaders gathered to share what’s working, where the pressure points are, and how AI can be governed responsibly at scale. These candid exchanges are already influencing how Ataccama builds and collaborates, from product priorities to how trusted data translates into everyday business value.

That same spirit of dialogue inspired CDO Talks: Real Conversations with Data Leaders, a new interview series hosted by Larry Hunt, Ataccama’s Field Chief Data Officer and former data executive at Wells Fargo and Bank of America. In partnership with HotTopics, the series offers an unfiltered look at how data leaders are turning trust into enterprise value by building intelligent, compliant operating models that drive innovation and measurable business outcomes.

Ataccama also continued its collaboration with DAMA International, advancing the craft of data management on a global stage. At the inaugural DAMA Day in Poland, customer BEST S.A., represented by Natalia Wasielewska, shared how Ataccama’s platform automated profiling, anomaly detection, and cleansing, boosting efficiency and accuracy across their data lifecycle. 

In Prague, Head of AI Corey Keyser and VP of Product Marketing David Kolinek took part in a panel titled “What to Demand from Next-Gen Data Management and Governance Tools,” and led a session on Agentic AI for Data Quality. Both sparked lively discussion on how automation and unified governance are redefining the future of enterprise data management.

That energy will carry into Q4, as Ataccama joins the first DAMA event in Melbourne and additional North American chapters, extending its reach and reinforcing the idea that trusted data is now a global movement, with Ataccama helping lead it.

FWRD 2025 captures the moment the industry now faces: a transition from hype to discipline, from possibility to precision. Trusted data has become the common language of that change, and Ataccama is helping define it.

The next era of AI will not be defined by larger models or faster pipelines but by the intelligence of the data itself. Across industries, that shift is already underway. Enterprises are measuring trust, improving quality, and investing in transparency as a new kind of infrastructure for innovation. Ataccama’s mission is to operationalize that trust and ensure that every decision, model, and system runs on data that can be relied upon.
