Challenge

The challenge proved to be the company’s data heritage. While its data heritage was available, it was scattered across various locations, such as Excel files and Wiki pages. Implementing a data catalog was naturally one of the key solutions that was identified to address these challenges.

Solution

By leveraging the Actian Zeenea Data Intelligence Platform, and more specifically its data catalog, SNCF Connect made significant progress in its data capabilities. This platform and data catalog address the organization’s most pressing data challenges while enabling deeper technical integration.

Outcome

With the platform and data catalog in place, SNCF Connect is better positioned to boost business efficiency and enhance its understanding of data for operational teams and data users. As a result, SNCF Connect is now a more data-driven organization.

What we value about Zeenea is their agility and the way their teams involve customers in managing the product roadmap, along with a very active user community for sharing best practices. On the technology side, it’s above all their compatibility with all clouds, especially AWS in our case, as well as the flexibility of their metamodel with the ability to create our own properties that best suit our context.
