Case Study: Public Fortune 500 company achieves rapid data democratization and automation with Atlan

How a Fortune 500 went from data silos to data democratization with Atlan

Fortune 500 Company, a large public enterprise, faced a fragmented data landscape: an 8+ year SAP BIW legacy, an ungoverned AWS S3 data lake, heavy reliance on email-driven reporting and a 48‑member MIS team, and failed business adoption of technical tools like Informatica. To drive data democratization and self‑service for business users, the company engaged Atlan and deployed Atlan’s collaborative data platform on its virtual AWS Cloud.

Atlan implemented a data catalog, discovery, visual SQL and orchestration layer that connected 20+ sources and BI tools, automating workflows and surfacing context and metadata for business users. Within months Atlan enabled 92 TB (52B rows) discoverable, 1,000+ catalogs, 100+ workflows and 130+ users; replaced 8 years of SAP BIW reports in 3 months; automated 48 MIS FTEs and saved 20+ man‑days/month, and delivered ~60x faster time‑to‑insight—demonstrating clear business value from Atlan’s platform.
