Actian, the data and AI division of HCLSoftwar, has won the Data Management: Governance category of the InfoWorld 2025 Technology of the Year Awards..
As AI initiatives increasingly depend on trusted, high-quality data, InfoWorld has recognized Actian for its “governance by design” approach. The Actian Data Intelligence Platform embeds governance directly into data workflows—leveraging data contracts, centralized metadata, and automated processes—to ensure data remains accurate, reliable, and AI-ready.
This prestigious award validates Actian’s innovation in helping organizations accelerate AI adoption by making data discoverable, trusted, and actionable. The platform centralizes enterprise metadata into a single, searchable catalog with automated collection, enabling effective data discovery while supporting compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
Powered by a knowledge graph and intelligent search engine, it delivers contextually relevant results by understanding relationships between data concepts. To scale governance effectively, Actian employs a federated model that allows domains to maintain ownership while enforcing enterprise-wide standards, avoiding traditional bottlenecks.
When integrated with Actian Data Observability, the platform provides end-to-end visibility into data health, including AI-powered anomaly detection that proactively identifies issues at the source.
The InfoWorld Technology of the Year Awards celebrate leading-edge solutions that apply AI and cutting-edge technologies to practical, enterprise-level challenges. This recognition underscores the growing industry emphasis on robust governance frameworks to support scalable AI and analytics amid rising data complexity and volume. Platforms like Actian’s, which seamlessly combine governance, compliance, and operational visibility, are becoming essential for modern digital transformation.
