Case Study: Leading Fintech Company Achieves Modern Data Discovery with Select Star

Industry-leading fintech company to migrate from enterprise data catalog to modern data discovery

Leading Fintech Company, a modern money management fintech with 500–1000 employees, needed a better way to manage data discovery and governance than its legacy enterprise data catalog. The old tool was slow to deploy, required heavy manual setup, lacked stable cloud support, and failed to provide reliable column-level lineage or Tableau Cloud visibility, limiting adoption beyond the data team.

Select Star replaced the legacy catalog with a cloud-native data discovery platform integrated with Snowflake, Tableau Cloud, and dbt. With Select Star, the company gained automated column-level lineage, popularity and usage insights, faster setup, and scalable, collaborative metadata management, tagging 500+ PII columns and creating 488 data documents. The result was higher adoption, stronger change management, improved trust in data, and a more immediate ROI through less manual work and better decision-making.
