The challenge

BBC Studios, the principal commercial arm of the BBC, manages data across a Snowflake, Fivetran, Amazon QuickSight and GitHub stack. Teams needed clearer visibility into their data assets and a faster way to detect and resolve incidents across multiple countries.

The solution

BBC Studios deployed Sifflet for data quality monitoring and lineage over a three-week implementation. The platform applied automated quality checks and gave both technical and business users end-to-end visibility into their data assets.

Sifflet provides such a good UI for a user of any kind of level to utilize it and understand their data. It's really business focused and it translates metadata in a way that a technically focused warehouse can't.
