We’re excited to announce a new addition to the Collibra platform: Collibra Data Notebook. This innovative capability is the result of our acquisition of Husprey and represents a significant step forward in empowering data citizens to work more efficiently and collaboratively within Collibra.
In today’s data-driven landscape, organizations are grappling with increasing data volumes and the proliferation of siloed tools. Data scientists, analysts and engineers are often hindered by the need to navigate disparate systems to find and query the data they require for critical business initiatives. Even after locating data within their data catalogs, they often find themselves uncertain if it truly meets their requirements due to limited visibility into its contents. Moreover, the inefficiencies and frustrations arising from the need to switch between different tools for querying and gathering additional information only compound these difficulties.
