Ranger Awards
During the recent Collibra Data Citizens Conference, we awarded the Ranger certificate to two outstanding Data Citizens. The Ranger program is a training, evaluation, and certification program. It is the most comprehensive Collibra Data Governance credential that you can achieve.
As a customer, you want a Collibra RangerTM on your side to make the most out of your investment in the Collibra platform.
As a consultant, you want to become a Collibra RangerTM if you want to become a preferred implementation partner. A Collibra RangerTM can look through the eyes of a Steward or Community Manager, and configure the Collibra platform for their needs. The Collibra RangerTM knows how to rollout the Collibra platform and devise strategies for wide adoption. They think out-of-the-box about unanticipated data use cases.
In order to demonstrate these competencies, Collibra RangerTM candidates go through a number of assignments through which they build up a full ‘data governance’ portfolio and defend it to the Ranger Committee.
