Case Study: De Watergroep achieves easier report discovery and adoption with dScribe

Nurturing report adoption at De Watergroep

De Watergroep, a public utility for water distribution in Flanders, faced a growing and complex reporting landscape with multiple tools, including self-service BI. This created a challenge for employees to find the correct reports and risked decisions being made on duplicate or outdated information. To bring order to this environment, they turned to the dScribe Catalog.

The solution involved implementing dScribe as a unified catalog to serve as a central search and documentation portal for reports from SAP BusinessObjects, SAP Analytics Cloud, and Azure Databricks. Using dScribe, the team organized over 1,000 reports into a single access point, eliminating duplicate and old versions. This ensured consistent data for decision-making, a process supported by dScribe's glossary for harmonizing terminology. The implementation was highly successful, garnering 50 weekly users within the first month and establishing the catalog as the starting point for all data-related inquiries.
