Case Study: JW Player democratizes data access with Coalesce Catalog

JWX unifies 5+ teams with Catalog

JW Player, a video software and streaming platform, faced significant challenges with data discovery and documentation. The company lacked a central repository for its data, which was scattered across various platforms, making it difficult for employees, especially non-technical staff, to find the information they needed. This led to repetitive questions and inefficiencies as employees had to rely on asking colleagues for answers. To solve this, they turned to the vendor Coalesce and implemented their product, Coalesce Catalog.

By implementing Coalesce Catalog, JW Player gained a centralized, intuitive platform for data documentation and discovery. The solution's user-friendly interface and strong lineage features provided a clear understanding of data flow, making it accessible to all business users without formal training. The results were immediate: repetitive data questions drastically decreased, freeing up teams for higher-impact work. JW Player also successfully integrated data from a newly acquired company with ease. Coalesce Catalog effectively filled a critical gap, streamlining data access and improving collaboration across the organization.
