How Collibra aligns to Forrester’s market trends
We believe Forrester named Collibra a leader in the data governance space due to our ability to keep up with the ever-changing data governance trends. According to Forrester, data governance solutions are expanding their scope from solely a technical tool to more of a business tool. To capitalize on this trend, data governance providers are maturing and broadening their capabilities to include new privacy, security, and compliance features, as well as collaboration and data stewardship management capabilities.
Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud is a perfect example of this mature data governance solution with an integrated platform. Collibra allows organizations to operationalize and collaborate around privacy policies in a centralized location, manage the entire data process lifecycle, and scale compliance across multiple regulations quickly and easily. We also offer technical lineage natively via our platform to help users comply with regulations by mapping how data transforms and flows as it is transported from source to destination, across its entire lifecycle. Our workflow capabilities also promote collaboration by automating processes with intuitive workflows and the ability to shop for data assets with crowdsourced feedback. More specifically, our out-of-the box and customizable workflows automate business processes without the need for technical resources and increase speed to outcome across the business, making Collibra a top choice for those looking for a business-friendly solution that streamlines collaboration across the enterprise.
We also believe data quality is a very important element of data governance. That is why we acquired OwlDQ to bring strong data quality capabilities to our platform. Collibra Data Quality’s advanced machine learning addresses comprehensive data quality challenges, such as profiling, rules, data reconciliation and discovering hidden data relationships. With Collibra Data Quality, we are now delivering an end-to-end platform for data intelligence that provides a streamlined one-stop shop for data management and governance that eliminates the need to integrate with multiple vendors.
Overall, we believe our product is a leader in the data governance space due to our focus on the business user and our best-in-class governance management capabilities.
“Collibra is a top choice for clients with a cloud-first strategy to build out their corporate data governance framework with the strongest overall governance management capabilities.”
