Case Study: Global Employment Services Leader Drives Enterprise Data Governance with Atlan

Global Employment Services Leader Drives a Shared Language for Enterprise Data

Global Employment Services Leader, a global provider of employment services, needed a better way to create, govern, and share consistent KPI and metrics definitions across its modern data stack. As the organization expanded its use of BigQuery and Looker, its data team struggled to keep terminology aligned and to make trusted data context easily accessible to business users and subject matter experts.

To solve this, Global Employment Services Leader implemented Atlan as its data catalog and active metadata layer, connecting it to BigQuery and Looker to automatically map assets and publish a shared business glossary. With support from Atlan’s customer success team, the company scaled from 20 legacy definitions to more than 400 terms for over 500 users, while automatically mapping over 75,000 data assets and delivering definitions directly inside Looker for faster self-service and better data understanding.
