Adastra Business Consulting and Ataccama have joined forces in a partnership to help enterprises in Latin America unlock the full business value of their data. Together, we bring a scalable, efficient, and business-aligned approach to data governance — proven across leading institutions in Europe and North America.
With Ataccama now fully available in Spanish, implementation has never been more accessible or relevant for the local market.
A Proven Partnership That Delivers Results
Adastra Business Consulting and Ataccama have worked together for over a decade, delivering successful data governance projects across banking, retail, gaming, and the public sector. Originating from a shared company group, their collaboration is built on mutual trust and aligned methodologies.
What sets this partnership apart is our ability to move seamlessly from strategy to execution. Adastra Business Consulting designs comprehensive governance frameworks – covering roles, responsibilities, policies, and data ownership – while Ataccama brings the technology to operationalize them with precision and scale.
At the heart of every effective governance program is data quality. Without high-quality, trusted data, even the most well-designed governance framework collapses under the weight of ambiguity and inefficiency. That's why our model places data quality as a foundational pillar from day one. Using Ataccama's platform – a recognized leader in Augmented Data Quality – we automate profiling, validation, and cleansing processes to ensure that governed data is also accurate, complete, and fit for purpose. This allows institutions to go beyond static policies and create a living governance environment where business users can rely on data to make faster, smarter decisions with confidence.

We apply proven frameworks like the 4P methodology (People, Process, Platform, Policies) and industry standards such as DAMA-DMBOK to ensure our solutions are complete, practical, and scalable from day one. This structured foundation enables faster onboarding, consistent adoption, and long-term success.
Why Latin America Needs This — Now More Than Ever
Poor data quality directly impacts performance: 33% of banks have delayed or canceled new IT systems due to quality issues, and those with low data maturity lose up to 20% of their revenue.
In Latin America, the institutions are under even higher pressure. On top of the newly developed data protections regulations, the challenge lies in cybersecurity threats. A recent Kaspersky study (Kaspersky Lab Report: Data Breaches in North America Can Lead to C-Level Job Loss) revealed that 42% of companies in Latin America experienced sensitive data leaks following a cybersecurity breach in the last two years. For Latin America institutions, this means that strong data governance is no longer optional — it's essential to build data trust, safeguard operations, and protect customer relationships.
That's why the Adastra Business Consulting – Ataccama partnership arrives at the right time — with a ready-to-go model tailored for the region's realities:
- Offering world-wide experience with implementing Data Governance Programs in Europe, North America and Asia
- Blending our world-wide experience with local expertise derived from the strong partnerships in Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Colombia and other countries
- Implementing Ataccama, a Gartner recognized leader in Augmented Data Quality, available in Spanish language
- Delivering projects with our Spanish-speaking teams utilizing proven 4P and DAMA methodologies
This isn't just about deploying a tool — it's about enabling faster, safer, and smarter decisioning process.
Real Impact, Real Use Cases
Imagine an organization with fragmented systems and no clear view of its data. That's where Adastra Business Consulting and Ataccama step in.
Ataccama connects to existing systems, scans metadata, and delivers a full inventory of what data exists, where it lives, and what condition it's in. From there, the team builds a business glossary, defines quality rules, and generates ongoing data quality AI-assisted suggestions to ensure new data is quickly profiled, categorized, and scored without manual effort. Meanwhile, Adastra Business Consulting leads the operational rollout — designing processes, training staff, and embedding governance into daily workflows.
