Onet is a global services leader with more than 66,000 employees. As the organization evolved, it needed to modernize how data was governed and accessed across its business lines.
With information siloed across multiple platforms, legal entities, and operational structures, Onet launched a transformation initiative to clarify definitions, foster cross-functional understanding, and build a strong foundation for digital transformation.
A core principle guided this initiative: reliable decisions require shared, structured, and well-governed data.
Challenges
Onet’s data landscape was fragmented and lacked consistency, creating several challenges:
- Data silos across legal entities, physical locations, and operational structures
- No shared understanding of key business concepts, metrics, and indicators
- Inconsistent definitions impacting reporting and decision-making
- Limited cross-functional collaboration between business and technical teams
- Compliance and regulatory efforts slowed by unclear data ownership
- Difficulty establishing a scalable governance framework
The organization needed a single platform capable of centralizing definitions, structuring metadata, and aligning stakeholders around a common language.
Why DataGalaxy
Onet selected DataGalaxy, implemented in collaboration with partner KPC, based on three key criteria:
- Ability to centralize business definitions and metadata in one shared environment
- Flexibility to model complex organizational and operational structures
- Intuitive user experience that encourages rapid adoption across business and IT teams
The platform enabled Onet to create a single source of truth anchored in a shared Business Glossary and clearly defined data ownership.
“What really appealed to us about DataGalaxy was its user-friendliness. We wanted a solution that was simple and highly intuitive for our staff, so that they would quickly get to grips with it. From a technical point of view, what also interested us was the flexibility of the tool to represent all notions, both business and technical. Finally, DataGalaxy offers a multitude of connectors, enabling us to quickly feed all technical information into the system.”
