Driving Data Governance through a Data Catalog Pilot

Layer Data supported DGAC to implement the DataGalaxy platform through a pilot project, ensuring structured governance and seamless data cataloging to support business and IT objectives. 

The Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGAC) is part of the Ministries for Ecological Transition, Spatial Planning, Transport, City and Housing. 

 

Business Challenge 

DGAC needed a reliable partner to guide the deployment of a modern Data Catalog solution. The organization required a SaaS-based approach to avoid local (on-premise) integration while ensuring governance alignment, technical clarity, and actionable deliverables throughout the pilot phase. 

 

Comprehensive Solution 

Layer Data designed and executed a tailored roadmap for the pilot implementation of DataGalaxy, focusing on scalability, governance, and collaboration: 

  • Governance Modeling: Defined and structured DGAC business objects within the pilot scope. 
  • Solution Deployment: Delivered the platform on DataGalaxy’s SaaS environment, removing the need for on-premise infrastructure. 
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Presented the solution to business and IT/Data teams, with dedicated materials and action tracking. 
  • Workshops & Oversight: Led technical workshops, managed execution, and oversaw deliverables. 
  • Architecture Design: Built architecture and integration patterns to ensure future scalability. 

 

Business Impact 

The pilot with DGAC achieved measurable outcomes, including: 

  • Improved Governance: Clear analysis of current governance practices with structured alignment. 
  • Organizational Support: Established governance practices around the DataGalaxy tool. 
  • Scalable Data Structures: Structured the DataGalaxy solution for sustainable use within DGAC. 
  • Agile Delivery: Applied agile-based approches to manage deliverables and accelerate implementation.
