A Competitive Takeout Program designed to help organizations escape the high cost and complexity of legacy metadata management and data governance tools.

SAN MATEO, CA, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Orion Governance, the provider of the leading comprehensive data management platform, today launched a Competitive Takeout Program designed to help organizations escape the high cost and complexity of legacy metadata management and data governance tools. The program provides a streamlined path to adopt Orion’s Enterprise Information Intelligence Graph (EIIG), a unified platform that reduces total cost of ownership (TCO) while delivering superior lineage, automation, and integrated AI governance.

Current market solutions often create more problems than they solve. Common customer frustrations include:
–Fragmented Capabilities: A patchwork of poorly integrated tools for catalog, lineage, and quality.
–Implementation Burden: Lengthy, complex deployments measured in months or years
–Limited Automation:
–Manual processes that fail to scale.
–High and unpredictable Costs:
–High licensing fees and hidden expenses for integration and maintenance.

Orion Governance’s EIIG platform is engineered to resolve these challenges. It natively integrates core governance components, data catalog, end-to-end lineage, data quality, observability, and a data marketplace into a single, automated fabric. Supporting over 70 technologies from Mainframes to modern Python and Java ecosystems, EIIG creates a unified “single pane of glass” for all enterprise information flows. Its innovative architecture ensures a lightweight yet highly scalable deployment, often in weeks, not months.

For financial services institutions facing stringent regulations like BCBS 239 and Basel III, EIIG’s certified end-to-end lineage and embedded governance controls are particularly transformative. The platform empowers them to:
–Ensure data accuracy, completeness, and integrity across systems.
–Map precise, field-level lineage from source to report for traceability.
–Enforce robust governance policies with full audit trails.
–Deliver timely, reliable regulatory and risk reporting.

“The takeout program is a direct response to enterprises feeling trapped by their incumbent vendor,” said Greg Moffett, Senior Vice President of Sales of Orion Governance. “We’re not just offering a better product; we’re offering a clear, low risk escape route to a modern platform that consolidates capabilities, slashes costs, and finally makes trusted data for AI a practical reality.”

About the Competitive Takeout Program:
The program offers 50% off competitor’s annual subscription price including user base pricing with a 2-year term. Any customers migrating from Ab Initio, Alation, Atlan, Collibra, IBM or Informatica are eligible for this promotion, which is available on January 12, 2026, and running through Q1, 2026.

Orion Governance is proactively accelerating market leadership through a focused program designed to empower organizations seeking a superior, more agile data governance solution than currently provided by competitors. This strategic initiative underscores our commitment to delivering unparalleled innovation and operational efficiency, directly addressing the limitations often found in legacy or less robust platforms. We are confident this competitive takeout program will solidify Orion’s position as the industry standard for comprehensive and intelligent data governance.

True Crime Cases You Haven’t Heard applies strict ethical standards to coverage, showing victims as complete human beings rather than tragedy statistics.

WAKE FOREST, NC, UNITED STATES, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — True crime content faces persistent criticism for exploiting victims and trauma for entertainment value. One podcast is attempting to demonstrate that the genre can operate differently.

True Crime Cases You Haven’t Heard has built its production around what host Steve Rhode calls the “Family Test”—a standard applied to every editorial decision.

“Before we include any detail, we ask: would the victim’s family approve of how we’re presenting this?” Rhode said. “If the answer is no, it doesn’t make the episode.”

The approach shapes coverage in specific ways. Victims are shown as complete human beings with lives, relationships, and aspirations—not reduced to the circumstances of their deaths. Violence is described when necessary for understanding but never glorified or presented for shock value. Graphic details serve educational purposes or they’re omitted entirely.

The podcast also maintains clear distinctions between verified facts and speculation. All claims are attributed to court documents and official records, with gaps in the record acknowledged rather than filled with assumption.

“True crime has earned its reputation for exploitation,” Rhode said. “We’re trying to prove the genre can serve educational purposes while treating people with dignity.”

Rhode brings 30 years of investigative journalism experience to the podcast, along with emergency services background that includes work as a police dispatcher and search and rescue pilot. His career began in hospital morgues, providing direct exposure to death and trauma that informs his approach to covering violent crime.

True Crime Cases You Haven’t Heard focuses on overlooked federal criminal cases, building each episode from FBI affidavits, indictments, and court filings. New episodes release regularly on all major podcast platforms.

The complete episode archive is available at TrueCrimeUnheard.com/episodes/.
