Data governance and Collibra
Imagine a world where data flows seamlessly, like a well-orchestrated symphony, empowering decision-makers with accurate and reliable insights. Data governance is the maestro that conducts this symphony, ensuring every note is in perfect harmony. It’s the guardian angel that safeguards your data, ensuring its quality, security, and privacy. It’s a strategic approach that enables your organization to take control of its data, transforming it from a liability into a strategic asset.
After a short introduction, we will turn our attention to Collibra, the superhero of data governance. Collibra is an all-in-one platform that empowers organizations to unlock the full potential of their data. It provides a centralized hub where you can manage all aspects of data governance. We will look at how you can use Collibra for your business and what benefits it brings.
As an extra, we will also touch on Collibra Data Quality, a platform enabling users to perform data quality checks and sync these results to a dashboard within the Collibra environment.
To truly experience the magic of Collibra, let’s dive into a live demo. Witness firsthand how this unique system looks and feels. Are you ready to unleash the power of data governance? Let’s get started!

Go.Beyond.Analytics : a template approach to BI
Over the coming years, many companies running SAP ECC will have to move to S/4HANA. Once the project starts, this automatically opens the question: how will we organise our reporting? Do we still need a data warehouse, or will we maximise the power of the S/4HANA engine, and use embedded analytics as the primary reporting solution?
Bmatix has developed a rapid deployment solution: Go.Beyond.Analytics. It’s a virtual data warehouse, mainly built on custom-built CDS views that deliver real-time information to the users. On top of this data warehouse, you can use several front-end tools: Embedded Analytics for operational reporting (using Fiori tiles) and Analysis for office (Excel) for analyst and SAP Analytics Cloud for Executives.

SAP Analytics Cloud – Planning
Faster & More Efficient Budgeting
Many businesses use Excel as their main budgeting tool. Multiple local budget versions, created in different departments with varying levels of data quality, need to be manually consolidated. As a result, it is difficult to come to one reliable single source of truth for decision-making. In most businesses, these budgeting processes take many months and what if, after the budget has been finalized, the market changes, will you start over? Recent years have shown many big challenges for businesses, such as inflation and geopolitical instability, which will continue to impact businesses. How do you budget with all these disruptions and uncertainties? Business Intelligence consultants Sophie van Calster and Jeroen van de Polder will explain and show you how you can make your budgeting faster and more efficient, and how Bmatix can help you in that process.
