BOSTON, June 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ataccama, the data trust company, today announced that the Boston Business Journal has appointed Ataccama to its 2026 Best Places to Workthe annual ranking of Massachusetts companies that have created an excellent work environment for their people. Ataccama scored 96 out of 100 in the Quantum Workplace employee engagement survey, with every participant earning a highly engaged rating. This designation is reserved for people who advocate for their organization, consistently give their best effort, and plan to stay. The honor follows the inclusion of Ataccama Inc.’s Best Workplaces Magazine list earlier this year and reflects a team united around delivering exceptional results for the clients they serve.
Companies like Allianz, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Fifth Third Bank, HP, Prudential, RSA and T-Mobile rely on Ataccama to ensure data quality in complex environments and ensure their AI models, reports and business decisions are based on data they can trust.
“Having been part of building strong cultures at companies like Rapid7 and ObserveIT, both recognized by the Boston Business Journal as Best Places to Work, I know how rare it is to get this right,” said Mike McKeeCEO of Atacama. “This recognition speaks to something that runs throughout our organization. From Boston to our teams around the world, our people share a genuine belief in the work they do and in each other.”
Employee comments consistently pointed to the same themes: a strong sense of community in the Boston hub, leadership that genuinely invests in its people, and work that has real impact. The company’s active encouragement to learn and adopt AI stood out as a differentiator in his career, as one Boston employee put it directly: “Our mission is clear and it feels like everyone is rowing in the same direction. Being actively encouraged to use AI and learning how to use it effectively helps me feel like I’m staying on top of crucial skills.” Across the organization, employees also cited alignment around the company’s core values, Aim High, Customer Centric, ONE Team, Candid and Caring, and Challenging Fun, as central to how teams perform every day. When asked to choose one word to describe their work environment, employees chose ‘collaborative’ over all others, with 100% agreeing that their contribution to the company’s success is recognised.
“What makes me proud of this recognition is what it reflects specifically about our team in Boston,” the spokesperson said Iva RotreklováChief People Officer at Ataccama. “The sense of community that our people in Boston describe is real and reflected in the way they work with each other and with our clients. Our company values are not aspirational language. That’s what our Boston team puts into practice every day. When someone walks into that office, they feel it. Our clients feel it too, because the care our people bring to their work translates directly into the way we show up as a partner. Being recognized by the Boston Business Journal is important because it comes from the people themselves, and I couldn’t be prouder can rely on what they have built.”
Ataccama’s culture is reflected both internally and in the way the company serves its customers. The principles that employees described, transparency, shared ownership and an unwavering customer focus, are also reflected in the product it delivers. Ataccama is a five-time leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Solutions for Improved Data Quality.
“This year’s companies have once again set the bar high for employees looking to retain their top talent,” said Carolyn JonesMarket president and publisher of the Boston Business Journal. “In such a competitive hiring environment, Best Places to Work employers continue to outperform their peers and competitors.”
The Boston Business Journal partnered with Quantum Workplace to conduct employee engagement surveys at participating companies, asking employees to evaluate their work environment, work-life balance, job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, management, compensation and benefits. Companies were given a score out of 100 and ranked into five size categories based on headcount. The 90 awards in 2026 include technology, healthcare, retail, commercial real estate and other sectors.
