Introducing erwin Data Intelligence 15: Boost confidence in AI with certified models, trusted data and smarter discovery

Highlights of what’s new in erwin Data Intelligence 15.

AI initiatives offer great opportunities for innovation, efficiency and increased competitiveness—but only when the underlying data supporting your efforts is trustworthy, well-governed and ready for intelligent use. Without confidence in the data and AI models you deploy, AI presents more risk to your business than help.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce erwin® Data Intelligence 15 by Quest with new capabilities to build trust in your AI initiatives. Automated AI model certification, personalized asset insights inside erwin Data Marketplace, and expanded scoring criteria to automate and pinpoint data value and speed discovery of trusted assets by consumers combine to help organizations increase successful AI outcomes.

Let’s look at how this release can help you advance AI use in your organization more reliably, responsibly and successfully.

Certify your AI models with confidence

One of the biggest blockers to trusted AI is uncertainty around model readiness. With erwin Data Intelligence 15, Quest introduces automated AI model certification based on the erwin by Quest 7 steps ‘model to marketplace’ value framework.

“Automated AI model certification in erwin Data Intelligence 15 offers organizations greater visibility into the readiness and reliability of AI models and their supporting data. This centralized approach to AI governance can help organizations advance their AI data readiness initiatives, supporting more successful AI outcomes while addressing regulatory and operational risks.” – Stewart Bond, IDC VP, Data Intelligence and Integration Software

This automated, best-practices certification process leverages the data intelligence inside of erwin to bring governance, transparency and accountability to your AI models—ensuring that source data, model lineage, policies, rules and quality metrics are all accounted for before production use.

Organizations can tailor the criteria and designate maturity thresholds to align with their own governance strategies. This not only reduces risk, it delivers a consistent, repeatable way to certify that your AI models—and the data supporting them—are truly enterprise-ready for use.
