New tools for digitizing, managing and analyzing data have the potential to fundamentally transform the way most businesses operate. Unfortunately, however, most data teams still find themselves grappling with a constant stream of one-off requests from business stakeholders and other types of last mile issues that consume lots of time without generating additional value. Workstream.io solves two major problems for data teams:

• Data asset management. Teams within larger organizations are increasingly working within heterogeneous technical environments in which there are lots of different tools and systems for analyzing and consuming data. Workstream.io helps to fill the gaps between those tools and systems by providing a centralized place to access and manage everything, allowing teams to consolidate data assets across various consumption tools and functions.
• Workflow facilitation. As the number of people and tools being used to create and consume analysis continues to grow, an element of sprawl tends to set in. When knowledge is scattered across various systems, assets quickly become fragmented. Workstream.io consolidates that knowledge and provides valuable context.

“Workstream.io boosts the productivity of data teams and key business stakeholders by streamlining the process of data asset management and helping to facilitate workflows,” said Nicholas Freund, Co-founder and CEO, Workstream.io. “We reduce the time required of data teams to support ad hoc requests and issues and enable them to focus their time and energy on activities that add more long-term value. Simultaneously, we build cross-departmental usage of data by providing more consistency and context for business stakeholders across the organization.”
