Challenge: Learning Care Group knew they had already collected the data they needed to make more-informed business decisions. The issue was helping stakeholders find the data they needed and then understand what it was telling them.

The Challenge

Learning Care Group was focused on encouraging and facilitating data use in non-technical business-user decision making across their business.

Data Discovery: Learning Care Group wanted to empower users to find the data they needed with a self-service approach.

Data Democratization: As much as wanting to make data easily available, they also wanted to make data understandable, for analysts, business users, and stakeholders across the company.

The Solution

data.world’s consumer-grade UX allows Learning Care Group employees to search across discussions, analysis, and more to easily find and understand the data they need.

“Our experience with the data.world team has been phenomenal. They’ve been with us every step of the way. I believe adding a data catalog has really changed the scope of the way we think about our organization and who we are.”

“As we continue on our journey toward self-service analytics, wherever that journey leads us, I do believe we’re a much stronger company today because we are providing our employees and colleagues an opportunity to understand who we are as we grow and develop.”
