Case Study: Wolters Kluwer advances data intelligence with Collibra

Inside Wolters Kluwer’s journey to data intelligence

Wolters Kluwer, a global professional services company, faced the challenge of modernizing its data infrastructure as part of a larger digital transformation. Its CT Corporation division, which provides legal services, needed to manage numerous duplicative systems and data sources, future-proof its products, and establish robust data governance. To address this, they turned to the vendor Collibra and selected the Collibra Data Intelligence Platform to serve as their central asset management and data governance tool.

The solution involved implementing Collibra to build an enterprise data layer, starting with a business glossary to engage users. A key benefit was the cloud-based platform, which eliminated the need for costly self-hosting and supported a democratized, business-driven approach to governance. As a result, Wolters Kluwer is creating a unified and defined data foundation that will allow it to retire old systems and integrate new data sources with minimal rework. Collibra has enabled greater socialization and understanding of data assets, which is expected to be a major benefit for sales and service operations.
