Athennian news and product updates

Admins can now build dedicated entity pages for teams such as Tax, Banking and Finance, combining custom records and fields with granular role based access. They decide which pages, registration types and individual data points each team can see, so sensitive records stay restricted inside one shared system of record. It requires the Scale Configurability add on for Enterprise customers, or Scale Configurability plus Custom Access for Professional customers.

Buyer relevance. Legal departments that kept tax or finance entity data in separate spreadsheets to control access can bring it into the entity system without exposing it to everyone. The add on requirement is worth checking before planning a rollout, since it is not part of the base plans.

Athennian launched Athennian Intelligence, which answers plain language questions over corporate records and minute books with links to the source and returns structured results to Custom Reports. It also launched Athennian MCP, a read only connection that gives ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot live entity data while applying each user's existing roles and permissions. Admins choose which entities and documents the AI can reach and can exclude individual documents, and it rolls out without setting up API keys for each user.

Buyer relevance. Corporate secretarial teams can answer entity questions from the assistant they already use without handing it write access or a way around permissions. Document level exclusions give a direct way to keep sensitive board materials out of AI answers.

Athennian's 25 Sept release lets organizations decide whether pending transactions count in ownership calculations and structure charts, with ownership views now showing issued, pending, reserved and available amounts. The same release adds expiration dates on documents, with email or in app reminders a week before expiry, on the day, or both.

Buyer relevance. Corporate secretarial teams get ownership figures that match how their organization treats pending deals, and can retire the spreadsheets they use to track expiring certificates and licenses.

Athennian's September 25, 2026 release lets admins restrict individual structure chart views to specific teams, adding a layer of access control beyond entity level permissions. The control requires the Enterprise plan or the Enterprise Charts add on.

Buyer relevance. Legal teams can limit who inside the organization sees a given ownership view without reworking entity level permissions. Because it is gated to Enterprise packaging, plan tier decides whether a buyer gets it.
