Case Study: Penguin Random House UK achieves faster data discovery with data.world

Penguin Random House takes a card-catalog-like approach to pulling in and discovering data with data.world

Penguin Random House UK, the international home of more than 300 publishing imprints, wanted to democratize data across the organization and give business users a single source of truth for where data lives, what it means, and who can access it. Using data.world as a data catalog, the team also needed better data discovery, an intuitive user experience, and support for both legacy and cloud-based systems.

With data.world, Penguin Random House UK created a searchable, easy-to-use catalog that unified metadata across its data environment and made data far easier to find and understand. According to the case study, information that once took data scientists a week to locate can now be discovered in seconds on data.world, improving governance, reducing risk, and accelerating data access.
