Year-1 savings from retiring the on-premise stack and optimizing Informatica licensing
Trained across business and IT to embed governance into day-to-day operations
With an automated Data Marketplace, standardized business terms across Workday and PeopleSoft, and embedded data quality

A state university's on-premise data catalog and governance platform had become cost-prohibitive and lacked the features needed to scale. Domains and glossaries were overly complex and misaligned with the university's data dictionaries, making the catalog difficult to use. Data quality visibility was limited, and governance adoption across business and IT had stalled.
The university wanted a modern cloud environment that would simplify access, improve quality visibility, and accelerate adoption across stakeholders.
OneSix opened the engagement with design, delivering a governance blueprint that defined future-state requirements, optimized the university's Informatica licensing, and outlined a simpler stewardship model spanning technology, processes, and people.
The team then launched the governance program, migrating the on-premise catalog to an integrated cloud platform, curating business terms and classifications in Workday and PeopleSoft, and implementing a Cloud Data Quality proof of concept with rules wired directly into the catalog. An automated Data Marketplace now gives stakeholders a single, governed entry point for discovering and accessing data assets, with quality indicators visible in context so stewards can act on asset health as they work.
To embed governance into day-to-day operations, OneSix delivered a customized enablement curriculum to more than 75 stakeholders across business and IT, with recorded sessions retained for ongoing reference. The result is a modern, scalable governance program with $196K in Year-1 savings from retiring the on-premise stack and a foundation positioned to grow with the university.
