Case Study: Lockheed Martin achieves digital transformation and trusted data insights with Collibra

How building an information marketplace helped Lockheed Martin unleash their digital transformation

Lockheed Martin, a global leader in aerospace and security, faced a common enterprise data challenge: vast, distributed data assets across engineering, supply chain, finance and production with analysts spending excessive time discovering and preparing data. To accelerate its digital transformation and establish trust in information assets, Lockheed Martin partnered with Collibra to roll out a data governance and catalog initiative — building an internal information marketplace and integrating sources such as SAP HANA, the TIBCO Logical Data Warehouse and Tableau.

Collibra implemented the marketplace and lineage integrations, quickly onboarding SAP HANA and TIBCO content to achieve roughly 75–80% coverage of Lockheed Martin’s analytic architecture and linking Tableau workbooks so users can trace data sources and transformations. The rollout improved visibility into data dependencies, reduced manual bottlenecks by enabling subject-matter experts to certify assets, consolidated operational silos, cut duplication of effort and eliminated manual dependencies — delivering faster, more trusted access to data and a stronger foundation for broader enterprise adoption.
