Case Study: Covanta achieves trusted, consistent data quality and 10%+ maintenance savings with Qlik

Ensuring data trust to drive business outcomes

Covanta is a global waste-to-energy and environmental solutions provider operating 41 modern facilities that convert about 21 million tons of waste into renewable electricity and recycle 500,000 tons of metal each year. Facing complex, high-stakes operations, the company needed trusted, timely data to optimize operational efficiency, ensure worker safety, avoid unscheduled outages, and align business and IT around clear objectives.

Covanta partnered with Talend to implement a data supply chain management solution using Talend Data Fabric (Data Catalog, Data Stewardship, and Real‑Time Big Data Integration), building the Covanta Data Hub in under four months. The hub delivers guaranteed, consistent data quality and near-real-time integration, creating a shared understanding across business and IT, enabling better decisions and at least 10% annual savings on maintenance activities while advancing safety, growth, and environmental goals.
