Driving Governance and Operational Support Across Africa and the Middle East
Layer Data supported Coca-Cola EMEA to deploy Informatica’s Data Catalog and strengthen operational support, creating a modern data architecture that unites business units across regions while embedding governance, quality, and culture at scale.
Business Challenge
Coca-Cola EMEA faced the need to modernize its data environment and improve the way information flowed across its African and Middle Eastern business units. The company’s existing systems lacked a consistent governance model, and subsidiaries operated in silos with limited collaboration.
To succeed, Coca-Cola needed a platform that would not only manage metadata and data quality but also help foster a culture of data awareness, standardization, and accountability. The challenge was to design a solution that could scale across geographies, engage multiple subsidiaries, and unify diverse business units under a single governance vision.
