Case Study: Sandhill Consultants achieves enterprise data visibility and mature data management with erwin Data Modeler

Water utility keeps data flowing and transparent with erwin® Data Modeler by Quest and through collaboration with Sandhill Consultants

Sandhill Consultants worked with a UK water utility that had brought IT back in‑house and urgently needed companywide visibility into how more than 200 business applications and databases generated, moved and connected data. To address this challenge, Sandhill partnered with erwin and deployed erwin Data Modeler by Quest to map systems, reverse‑engineer applications and document data origins and flows.

Using erwin Data Modeler, Sandhill built an enterprise logical/canonical data model, visualized data flows and created a common data dictionary, giving stakeholders a single view across 200+ systems. The engagement with erwin delivered measurable benefits—clear data visibility, enhanced team skills, stronger data governance and rapid progress on the organisation’s DAMA maturity—enabling more reliable data‑driven services and smoother application migrations.
