Case Study: NetApp achieves trusted data governance and better decision-making with Collibra

NetApp boosts glossary usage 200% with Collibra

NetApp, a Fortune 500 global technology company, faced companywide inefficiencies around data governance with over 50 siloed data dictionaries stored in various formats. To address this challenge and consolidate its data assets, NetApp partnered with vendor Collibra in 2011 to implement its business glossary and data governance service.

Collibra's solution enabled NetApp to adopt a business-led, federated governance model with over 160 data stewards. This drove significant adoption; implementing a 'find a definition' widget on the corporate homepage increased glossary usage by more than 200%. The partnership with Collibra over 12 years fostered accuracy and consistency in data, enabling trusted decision-making across the organization.
