Collibra Offers Data Governance Solution for Mobile Workforce

As companies continue to realize the importance and value of data, it’s more crucial than ever to properly govern that information and keep it secure. Data governance specialist Collibra makes data management, accountability, and security easier than ever before with its Collibra Mobile app, currently running in an early release program.

With the app, users can update policy information, initiate change requests, monitor the quality of data, and update and follow the status of data management projects.

Collibra chief technology officer Stan Christiaens said the app is directed at younger generations entering the workforce, but also towards any on-the-go employee.

’If you really want to be successful in engaging [data] stewards or custodians, or whatever you call them, don’t ask for Moses to come to the mountain. Take the mountain to Moses,’ Christiaens said.

’Put it in their mobile devices, because that’s where everybody is, on the train, in the car, in somebody else’s meeting,’ he added.

Collibra counts EMC, Verizon, the George Washington University, and Charles Schwab as customers, and the company has a robust reseller program.

Customers and partners can apply to be part of the Collibra mobile app early release program at Collibra’s website.
