About Gewobag

With a rich history spanning more than a century, Gewobag plays a vital role in delivering housing solutions to individuals and families across Berlin. Managing an impressive portfolio of more than 74,000 properties with ambitious expansion plans, Gewobag integrates growth, social responsibility, and climate projections into its business strategy. However, these business commitments come with unique challenges—especially in managing the ever-growing complexity of data.

Challenge

Gewobag realized the critical need to digitize its operations, focusing on managing energy production and distribution data as part of its Smart Energy program. Similarly, Gewobag recognized the importance of adopting robust data management practices to anticipate future needs, such as those driven by the increasing number of apartments being built and managed.

By implementing the Actian Zeenea platform, Gewobag is now equipped to efficiently manage data at scale. The platform meets current and future needs by enabling:

  • Faster, more informed, confident decision-making.

We chose Zeenea’s data catalog solution after a thorough review of the solutions available on the market as it was perfect for Gewobag: It is available in German, it automatically connects and synchronizes metadata from all of our sources, and it is unrivaled in terms of flexibility and configurability of properties and metamodeling.
