Case Study: Color Health improves data lineage and productivity with Coalesce Catalog

Color Health Elevates Healthcare Analytics with a Documentation-First Approach

Color Health, a healthcare technology company based in Burlingame, CA, needed a better way to document and manage its growing data landscape. Their spreadsheet-based catalog was difficult to maintain, made it hard for non-technical stakeholders to self-serve, and forced the data team to spend up to a full day tracing lineage for a single column.

To solve this, Color Health implemented Coalesce Catalog to improve usability, integrate with existing BI tools, and provide clearer data lineage and governance. With Coalesce, the team reduced lineage tracing from a full day to minutes, saved about a full day of work every two weeks, archived roughly 50% of data assets after identifying unused or redundant content, and improved trust, documentation discipline, and overall data governance.
