Case Study: European Railway Operator achieves automated reference data management with Ataccama ONE

European Railway Operator scales reference data to 400+ codebooks with Ataccama

A European railway operator faced significant challenges in managing its reference data, which involved extensive manual work using Excel spreadsheets and SQL scripts. This inefficient process led to errors, a lack of data integrity, and an inability to scale. To support its digital transformation, the company needed a reliable solution to serve as a single source of truth and sought the help of vendor Ataccama.

Ataccama implemented its Ataccama ONE platform to provide an organization-wide master data management solution. This provided a central, validated source for over 400 codebooks, automatically propagating changes to 15 consuming systems. The results eliminated manual steps, ensured data integrity, and offered unlimited scalability. The solution became mission-critical for day-to-day operations, capacity and route planning, and even powered a client-facing online catalog of freight cars.
