Case Study: Office of the Secretary of Defense enables data discovery with Collibra

How the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) enables data discovery with Collibra

The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) faced the challenge of helping its decision-makers find, understand, and trust their crucial data across the vast US defense apparatus. To address this and enable better decision-making, the OSD's CFO Data Transformation Office partnered with Collibra to implement their Advana Data Catalog.

Using Collibra Data Catalog, the OSD team launched a targeted implementation, starting with a financial management use case to simplify audit functions. This created a single source of truth and drove adoption, leading to nearly 1000 registered users within eight months. The success of Collibra allowed the program to expand to other business lines, building a foundation for a comprehensive, federated data strategy across the entire Department of Defense.
