The company’s own site data gives founding year 2007 and a Boston, MA address (about page JSON-LD, opened 2026-10-08); its 2022 funding release says it was founded in 2007 as a spin-off from Adastra and was then headquartered in Toronto, while a 2023 leadership release says Michal Klaus founded it in 2008 (the two company releases disagree by a year). Offices: Boston, Toronto, London, Prague, Frankfurt, Sydney, Melbourne, Bratislava and Sofia (about page).

AI features as of October 2026

An ONE AI Agent (announced 2024-10-24) executes data-quality tasks with minimal guidance: bulk DQ rule creation, rule mapping, automated DQ evaluation and asset discovery queries (company release). An MCP server connects AI agents, copilots and LLMs to the governed platform (ataccama.com/platform/mcp; the page gives no GA/preview label or client list). The homepage’s “83% faster” figure was not found on the agent announcement and is left out as unverified marketing. Vendor claims (homepage, re-read 2026-10-07): five-time Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Augmented Data Quality Solutions, Leader in the inaugural Forrester Wave for Data Quality Solutions (Q1 2026), a 4.5-star Gartner Peer Insights rating, and an MCP server connecting agents to governed data and tools. These are vendor statements (the site’s structured data repeats the 2026 Gartner and Q1 2026 Forrester Leader awards); the analyst reports themselves were not opened.
