HEMA, a Dutch retail brand, has adopted Amazon DataZone to build their data mesh and enable streamlined data access across multiple business areas.
By using Amazon DataZone, HEMA centralized all data assets across disparate data stacks into a single catalog.
Amazon DataZone helped HEMA to integrate different systems, such as Databricks and native AWS services.
HEMA’s adoption strategy was designed on three core principles: Launch it, Prove value, and Be there.
The adoption plan included allowing the domains to pick up the implementation at their preferred pace before moving onto the next one.
HEMA found Amazon DataZone easy-to-use that enabled teams to seamlessly search, discover, share, and subscribe to data assets produced within the business.
HEMA saw massive benefits in terms of significantly reducing the data sharing average turnaround time, enabling teams to develop new use cases for the business, and an energized data organization.
Amazon DataZone is set to become the central solution for data sharing and data cataloging across the enterprise.
HEMA is determined to democratize its role by building an efficient data organization that relies on the most advanced data governance solution on the market.
HEMA launched a series of new features that will continue to improve the data operations, such as data quality scores, data lineage, and fine-grained access control.
