SPB Group uses DataGalaxy to make data knowledge accessible, build a common language, and map their data.
I recommend DataGalaxy for the ease of use of its platform, the responsiveness of its teams, and its ability to constantly evolve in line with business needs.

Data is a fundamental asset in SPB’s strategy: Collecting data in real time enables them to monitor the results of insurance products, control risks, and ensure the longevity of contracts while optimizing the profitability of their key account partners.
SPB faced three main challenges before implementing DataGalaxy:
- Capitalize on and make accessible knowledge of data assets
- Harmonize and create a common language among all teams, including business, data, and IT
- Efficient data mapping
Strategic challenges
SPB was looking for a simple, intuitive tool for business users to:
- Secure knowledge
- Guide users to storage locations
- Protect data according to its sensitivity
- Link data to usages
DataGalaxy caught their attention because of its ease of use for all teams, and their choice was further accelerated by the tool’s simple implementation process. SPB Group was also interested in DataGalaxy’s data lineage tools so they could trace data from source to use.
The Data Knowledge Catalog implementation process
In SPB’s implementation of DataGalaxy’s Data Knowledge Catalog, the group’s data governance team acted as the tool’s administrator, communicating between the business and IT teams to feed the various DataGalaxy modules.
Their next step was to deploy The Data Knowledge Catalog to over 150 SPB business users using the browser extension developed by DataGalaxy. To do this, they focused on user acculturation around the tool by feeding it with concrete cases to encourage increased team use.
