Case Study: Suncor Energy achieves enterprise-wide data classification with Ohalo Data X-Ray

Suncor Energy providing enterprise-wide data classification

Suncor Energy, a major integrated energy company, faced the immense challenge of understanding and governing over 110 million unstructured files spread across numerous legacy and cloud data sources. This was a critical first step needed to migrate data and implement a Collibra data catalog for improved security and privacy. To tackle this, they turned to vendor Ohalo and its Data X-Ray platform to build an enterprise-wide metadata framework.

Ohalo implemented its Data X-Ray solution to automatically discover and classify Suncor's data, which was crucial for their migration and governance initiatives. Within just three months, Suncor had automated the process for its OpenText Livelink files. The implementation is expected to save millions of dollars through operational efficiencies, automated file disposition, reduced storage costs, and software license savings.
