About The Customer
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin is a partnership of healthcare providers based in the United States. The partnership covers nine hospitals, over 2,000 physicians, and 45 health centers and clinics, serving approximately 1.5 million outpatients, 55,000 inpatient admissions, and over 1.1 million GP visits. F&MCW's vision is to transform healthcare and connect the communities it serves to the best academic medicine. Data plays a critical role in helping meet that vision through better business management and healthcare provisioning. The organization has been a customer of Collibra since 2018.
The Challenge
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (F&MCW), a regional health partnership, was facing challenges in managing and analyzing their vast data resources. The organization had a wealth of data from electronic medical records, financial spreadsheets, and HR data. However, the data was managed in silos using tools like SharePoint and Excel spreadsheets, leading to limited data sharing and collaboration between departments. There was also a lack of consensus on what discrete data metrics signified. Furthermore, there was a lack of data ownership, particularly among business and clinical leaders, who viewed data as a technical aspect and left its analysis to data governance and technical teams. The organization needed a solution that would enable better information analysis, foster data ownership, and improve data governance.
The Solution
F&MCW adopted Collibra, an adaptive data and analytics governance solution, to address their data management challenges. Collibra was chosen for its business-friendly user interface and functionality. F&MCW used Collibra to develop a data governance platform called Data 360°, which contains metadata for over 45 databases, 850+ metrics, and 3,240+ views accessed by 1,330 users across the organization. The organization also developed a metric approval workflow that engaged leaders and identified data metric owners. A voting system was used to finalize metric definition, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility, and removing confusion and disagreement. Collibra also enabled the unification of data metric understanding, providing a single source of truth to improve data quality and provide trusted and credible analytics.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
