We solve the data-metadata problem,
end-to-end.
DataModal provides a multi-modal, bi-directional, industry-standards based business context execution engine. Our integrated solution accelerates time to market for your AI & Agentic initiatives by addressing the data-metadata challenge, while automating data governance, data quality, lineage, traceability, audit and compliance controls.
One platform. One solution. Multimodal.
Integrated data & metadata middleware for AI & Agentic.
End-to-end data and metadata capability for AI. One platform that connects, governs, understands and executes across every system and modality.

The DataModal Difference.
Your data stays virtual. Always in place.
Your data stays where it lives. DataModal spins context out to every source, and brings governed answers back. Both ways. Always on.
We enable many-to-one, many-to-many, many-to-any views. We can aggregate data across systems, and shred data into multiple systems.
Your transactional and analytical systems can integrate bi-directionally with AI & Agentic.
- Secured in originating systems, no centralized consolidation
- Unified discovery, access & translation across cloud and on-premises
- Automated tagging, curation & organization, enterprise-wide
- Standards-compliant, spans multiple API types, including Fabric API/SDK
- Mission-critical systems integrated, governed & operated
- Minimal change to existing processes & active operations
DataModal enables you to be AI-ready without the need for a data lake or a data warehouse. AI Agents most often require direct integration with transactional systems. With the bi-directional integration capabilities provided by DataModal, there is no need to build an expensive enterprise data lake or data warehouse. We will enable you to directly integrate AI & Agents with enterprise transactional and analytical systems.
For organizations seeking to build a data lake or data warehouse, we enable you to integrate with disparate systems, create data products and load gold layers directly. DataModal provides the flexibility that enterprises seek whether its virtualization or physicalization. We provide a multi-modal solution to implement both approaches and deliver a governed data platform with full context.
Intelligent Data Fabric
Context goes to the data from disparate data sources, information is linked together, governed answers return. Many-to-any, many-to-many, one-to-many: polymorphic data integration.
Business Context Execution Engine
Four core business problems. DataModal solves them. Achieves business outcomes.
Context without execution is information. Context with execution is advantage.
Enterprise data is locked away from AI
60-80% of enterprise data never reaches AI systems, trapped across silos, formats, and undocumented sources.
Layer 01 · Enterprise Data Activation Unified discovery, semantic mapping, and automated data product creation make it consumable.
Governance and quality break at scale
Manual lineage, inconsistent quality, and after-the-fact compliance make AI outputs impossible to trust or audit.
Layer 02 · Governance, Quality & Assurance Automated lineage, quality enforcement, and continuous monitoring, built in at ingestion.
Regulatory obligations are fragmented
EU AI Act, NIST, ISO, and BCBS requirements are tracked in disconnected tools, leaving gaps and duplicated effort.
Layer 03 · Unified Regulatory Control Plane A single control plane turns regulatory obligations into operational defaults.
AI never reaches production
88% of pilots stall because consumers can't get context-rich, governed data in the formats they actually use.
Layer 04 · AI-Ready Enterprise Execution Governed data delivered to GenAI, agents, and analytics via MCP, APIs, and real-time interfaces.
One context layer. Many-to-any. Full control.
One governed context layer in the center; adapters and connectors out to every source, databases, apps, APIs, files, streaming and legacy. Bidirectional, polymorphic, and governed end-to-end. Same data available via multiple adaptors, MCP, REST-API, SQL, Kafka, JMS, SFTP, etc.
Governed AI data products in three automated steps.
Automate data product creation
- Connects without migration or rearchitecture
- Policy-driven governance at ingestion
- Reusable data products with embedded context
Real-time semantic unification
- Unified semantic layer via automated entity resolution
- Real-time sync across batch and streaming
- Consistent definitions across analytics, ML, and catalogs
Accelerate AI and analytics delivery
- SQL, GraphQL, REST APIs, XML, JSON, Ontology Knowledge Graph, and vector interfaces
- ML-ready feature pipelines with point-in-time correctness
- Trusted metadata with bidirectional lineage
Where the category stops, DataModal keeps going.
AI without context is risk.
With context is trust.

What is DataModal?+
DataModal is a Business Context Execution Engine (BCEE): it delivers governed business context to AI and agents, bidirectionally, in real time, without moving or duplicating your data.
How is this different from data virtualization or federated query (e.g. Denodo, Starburst)?+
Federated query gives you read-only views at query time. DataModal persists governed, versioned context and runs both ways, reads and writes, with lineage and a regulatory control plane built in. It is an execution engine, not just a view layer.
Does my data have to move?+
No. Your data stays where it lives. DataModal spins context out to every source and brings governed answers back, platform-to-platform, no migration.
What can it connect to?+
Databases, data lakes, applications, APIs, files/documents, streaming events and IoT, across Databricks, Snowflake, every cloud (AWS · Azure · GCP) and on-premise systems.
How are governance and compliance handled?+
Governance, data quality, and lineage are enforced at ingestion, lineage is the receipt. The Regulatory Control Plane maps to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and BCBS 239.
How do AI agents consume context?+
Through MCP, REST, and SQL. Agents read and write governed business context bidirectionally, quality, privacy, security, traceability, audit and control in both directions.
Do we need to hand-code pipelines?+
No. Visual, no-code, natural-language design lets business and data teams map and orchestrate data flows and governance, zero coding for bidirectional data for AI.
How fast can we see value?+
A focused 2-3 week proof of concept on your own environment, against live workloads, with measurable results on governance coverage, latency at scale, and source load.
