​

Introducing Prentice Gate Software: Pioneering the Next Frontier in Enterprise Data-Driven Culture Development

 

Townsend, TN – September 15, 2023 - Prentice Gate Software, spearheaded by the data industry veteran, John Wills is announcing its formation and operation with a focus on creating products that help enterprises develop a data culture that includes the ubiquitous consumption and sharing of knowledge about data assets as a means of achieving higher levels of efficiency, growth, and risk mitigation.

​

Prentice Gate Software Founder, John Wills is an industry veteran with more than 30+ years of enterprise data experience. He is the author of the recently published book "The Goal is Autonomous Governance" and TDAN columnist and was most recently Alation Software's Field CTO. Prior to that, he was an executive with Collibra, helping them enter the North American market and grow internationally. He has been part of organizations that have been acquired by IBM four times and HP once. He has also helped three companies achieve an IPO milestone. In addition, he is the author of several methodologies and holds numerous architect certifications.   

 

"Our future plans include attempting to create nothing short of a new industry category that brings autonomy, metadata, and policy-centric intelligence together for the benefit of everyone across the enterprise", says Wills. "I know that sounds abstract and lofty, but my point is that there is a gap and too much friction for rank-and-file employees when it comes to data. Knowledge of data is not transparent, they don't know if they can trust it, and we leave them in a position of trying to remember and understand how they are allowed to use it. None of these things have to be true anymore and that is what we intend to change."

 

The principles the company will base its product on are:

  • Provide value to everyone in the enterprise

  • Make knowledge accessible where people work the most

  • Give users choice and flexibility

  • Automate mundane tasks

  • Share intelligent observations 

​

The foundational business principle Prentice Gate Software will follow is to earn its growth by producing great products that deliver tangible value for customers which then earns them the right and resources to do more. Discover more by visiting www.prenticegatesoftware.com.
