  • Single Origin — Single Origin is a cloud platform where cross-functional teams define, manage, discover and consume metrics and ML features in a singular web portal. There are some use cases that Single Origin can be applied to:* Smarter Catalog - standardize data definitions across systems in multi-cloud: Single Origin's semantic management identifiesduplicate or similar data pipelines/SQLs running in single/multi-cloud and loops in corresponding users to review and standardize data definitions. * Better Collaboration - empower operators to collaborate over data in one place for Data Quality, Governance and more without going to several tools. * Seamless Orchestration - orchestrate vertical data stacks: stitching fragmented vertical solutions (catalog, semantic management, computation, governance, quality and lineage) is a formidable challenge. Single Origin provides all-in-one package or modular components that are missing and can “plug and play” in your data stacks.We are a group of engineers and product people, who founded, led and scaled uMetric and Databook of Uber and multiple ML platforms at Snap, Reddit, Amazon and Microsoft. Please reach out to us and find out how Single Origin can power "metrics and ML features as a service" for you.
