Collibra
The technology
Collibra is a data governance platform: catalogue, business glossary, lineage, role management (data owners, data stewards) and approval workflows.
A catalogue only has value if it is populated and used. The project is organisational first: priority scope, named roles, definitions validated by the business, then automated metadata collection.

Frequently asked questions
Collibra: FAQ
Which domain to start with?
A high-stakes domain with a limited scope and an identified business sponsor: customer data, product master data or regulatory reporting.
Is Collibra essential?
No. The choice depends on the size of the data estate, budget and ecosystem. Lighter alternatives suit a first rollout.
