Joint customers can now conduct data quality validation activities using Ataccama within Snowflake

BOSTON, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ataccama today announced the launch of Ataccama Data Quality as a Snowflake Native App, using the Snowflake Native App Framework.  The Ataccama Data Quality App  elevates the data quality capabilities by enabling users to maintain high data standards effortlessly within their existing workflows. The app is available to joint customers natively via Snowflake Marketplace, providing a set of pre-defined rules that allow users to quickly and easily validate the quality of their data prior to using it.

Jay Limburn, Chief Product Officer at Ataccama, said, “The real value of data lies in being able to trust it and be able to apply it to business use cases confidently. Managing the increasingly complex enterprise data landscape to deliver high-quality data, data engineers and data scientists can provide accurate, trustworthy data to business teams to support better decision-making.  Offering native data quality capabilities  to Snowflake customers within their data environment provides simple access to our best-in-class data quality engine and  will help them transform their data to deliver immediate insights to support business outcomes such as improved marketing, reduced risk and product innovations.”

Ataccama and Snowflake are working together to mobilize the world’s data with Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud, helping joint customers to tackle data quality issues that undermine the value of the data and prevent trustworthy insights from being extracted and applied across the business. Data experts using the Ataccama Data Quality App in Snowflake benefit from improved efficiency and accuracy, and can deliver trusted data to business users to apply to business initiatives such as customer experience, compliance, marketing and business development.

“Data quality is key to maximizing the value of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, enabling businesses to trust their data for better insights and innovation,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “This collaboration aims to deliver greater choice to our joint customers by giving them the ability to integrate Ataccama’s capabilities directly within Snowflake to enable seamless, high-quality data management and empowering users to make data-driven decisions with confidence.”

Built using the Snowflake Native App Framework, the Ataccama Data Quality App will give Snowflake customers access to a predefined set of DQ rules and documentation explaining which rules are available and how they work. Data Engineers can use these rules while writing SQL code in Snowflake and execute data quality checks  as part of the output of the SQL statement. Customers can download the app from the Snowflake Marketplace and start using it within minutes, delivering seamless integration with just a few clicks.

The Snowflake Native App Framework enables developers to build applications using Snowflake’s core functionalities, distribute them globally on Snowflake Marketplace, and deploy them within a customer’s Snowflake account.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
