Case Study: DNB Bank achieves digital transformation and unlocks data value with Collibra

Driving digital transformation through people, process and technology

DNB Bank, Norway’s largest bank, faced urgent digital-transformation pressure from new competitors, demanding customers and tighter regulation (BCBS 239, GDPR), all while its data remained fragmented across more than 900 silos. To better understand information and data flows and deliver more customer value, DNB turned to Collibra for a platform to catalog, govern and manage its data assets.

Collibra’s platform was deployed as the foundation of a business-led data architecture—combined with AWS data‑science tools and a digital capture solution—to abstract legacy complexity, enable federated data stewardship, and operationalize governance and compliance. The solution reduced time spent on manual data cleansing (business analysts previously spent ~80% of their time cleaning data), enabled a churn algorithm that identifies at‑risk customers to improve retention and cross‑sell, and produced GDPR‑compliant benchmarking reports for corporate clients—clear, measurable quick wins driven by Collibra.
