Proximus Group provides an array of telecommunication and digital services such as telephony, Internet, television and network-based services to residential, enterprise and public customers in Belgium and overseas, through a reliable infrastructure of fixed and mobile networks. Faced with strict compliance requirements set by the GDPR, the group identified the need to invest in a data governance solution enabling it to find, understand and trust any data asset throughout the organisation, for better efficiency and decision making. “Data is the lifeblood of our organisations and it has increasingly become a mission-critical component of our services to customers,” stated Laurent Mons, Data Governance and Quality Leader, Proximus. “Our key requirement was the need to provide both technical and business teams with the right self-services for them to make the best decisions that will ultimately bring value to customers. Collibra has laid the foundations for our business to operate safely and efficiently, allowing us to become a truly data-driven organisation.” The Collibra platform will enable Proximus Group to not only meet the strictest compliance obligations, but to develop actionable algorithms based on consistent and trustworthy datasets, for reliable data analytics. As a result of implementing the Collibra platform, the company will be able to improve business processes from the bottom up, leading to consistent reporting and increase in operational efficiencies.
