Case Study: Koch Industries achieves enterprise data democratization and faster MDM tenant deployment with TIBCO Software's EBX

Koch Industries Democratizes Data for a Complex Enterprise

Koch Industries is a $110 billion, privately held conglomerate of a dozen major subsidiaries (including Georgia‑Pacific, Invista, and Molex) with 122,000 employees across 70+ countries. As an “enterprise of enterprises,” Koch faced fragmented data systems and governance across its individual businesses, and modernization efforts exposed the need for better master data management, lineage, and a way to democratize data while preserving business autonomy.

Koch implemented a hybrid MDM approach with TIBCO EBX, creating business‑specific tenant data spaces on a single‑instance, multi‑tenant platform that is both out‑of‑the‑box and highly customizable. The result: 10 tenants created (eight in production), faster time‑to‑value (tenant setup reduced from months to days), higher data quality and reporting, shortened development cycles, cost efficiencies, and improved collaboration that lets individual businesses implement and extend MDM independently.
