Quest Software, a global leader in protecting critical IT assets, powering data for AI and analytics, and modernizing Microsoft and database platforms, is introducing erwin Data Intelligence 15, a major update to its AI governance platform that will give organizations the tools to build trust in their data by certifying AI models, improving discovery, and reducing the manual effort of data governance.
The release comes at a time when organizations face growing pressure to ensure AI-driven decisions are transparent, explainable, and based on reliable data, Quest said.
erwin Data Intelligence 15 offers automated AI model certification, a personalized data discovery experience, and new GenAI tools to accelerate governance tasks.
“As companies work to put AI into production, they face one critical question: Is our data good enough to trust the outcome?” said Bharath Vasudevan, vice president of product at Quest Software. “This release helps companies confidently answer ‘yes’. We provide the tools to certify AI models, quickly surface the most valuable data, and spend less time managing.”
Other new features in erwin Data Intelligence 15 include:
- Data Valuation and Trust Scoring: Score data using up to nine weighted criteria—including quality, relevance, usage, and governance completeness. Customize the weight of each based on business goals, and automatically generate a value score to highlight trusted, high-value assets.
- Role-Based Access to Marketplace Insights: Persona-based landing pages in erwin Data Marketplace to accelerate discovery and governance of relevant assets. Choose from a library of ready-to-use visualizations for quick insights and filter results by asset type—such as data products, AI models, or business policies.
- Bonus for existing Microsoft Customers: erwin Data Intelligence 15 includes a new erwin Standard Data Connector for Microsoft Dataverse. This allows organizations to ingest metadata from Dataverse, to gain visibility across their Microsoft data landscape while applying all erwin’s capabilities, including AI model certification, automated governance, trust scoring, and data marketplace integration.
Launching in preview alongside the erwin Data Intelligence 15 release, erwinAI is a GenAI-powered agentic chatbot that reduces manual governance with new data stewardship accelerators. This reduces manual effort and helps close governance gaps faster, according to the company. Initial capabilities include:
- Speeding up the classification of tables and columns and generation of business term definitions.
- Stewards can quickly spot missing classifications and incomplete definitions, then review, approve, and apply suggested updates—all through the agentic chatbot, with full audit trail support.
Additional erwinAI capabilities will roll out throughout 2025, bringing new stewardship and discovery accelerators designed to make data governance smarter and more intuitive.
Quest’s erwin Data Intelligence provides automated, structured AI model certification and flexible, weighted data scoring, both based on governance best practices.
