Case Study: Harvard Business Publishing builds a modern data stack for data-driven learning with Data Clymer

How Harvard Business Publishing Uses Data To Drive Learning And Growth

Harvard Business Publishing (HBP), a renowned media and education brand, faced the challenge of modernizing its data platform to support a new strategic direction focused on data-driven learning products. Their lean internal data team needed to integrate data from dozens of sources into a new Snowflake cloud data warehouse and implement best practices for their dbt transformation models. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Data Clymer for its expertise.

Data Clymer provided dbt expertise and a collaborative, consultative approach to help HBP implement their modern data stack. The solution included creating custom connectors for data ingestion, building foundational dbt staging models with documentation, and cross-training the internal team. As a result, HBP successfully laid the technical foundation for its data-driven product strategy, making valuable data secure and available across the organization and setting a clear path for future maturity.
