Case Study: E.ON achieves data readiness and enterprise data governance with erwin Data Intelligence

E.ON Powers Data Readiness, Metadata Management and Data Governance with erwin Data Intelligence by Quest

E.ON, a global energy supplier with ~73,000 employees serving more than 30 million customers across multiple European countries, faced a major data governance challenge as it digitized operations: heterogeneous data across ERP, CRM, BI, ticketing and smart-meter systems made it difficult for data scientists and engineers to find, understand and trust the right data. To address this, E.ON partnered with erwin and deployed erwin Data Intelligence (erwin® Data Intelligence by Quest®) to create a standardized, enterprise-wide approach to metadata management and data governance.

erwin implemented automated metadata harvesting, lineage documentation, impact analysis and a common business glossary, enabling clearer data ownership and faster access to trusted data. As a result, E.ON connected 67 systems across 4 countries, engaged 15 business units on the platform, defined 44 data domains, trained 175 users and created 550 business terms; the company identified over €8 million in business impact in 18 months, estimates several million euros in additional revenue and expects up to 30% savings on external data management costs and a 50% reduction in time spent on data discovery.
