Also weigh how recently they worked in Collibra and whether their sector has regulatory demands like yours.

- 02Which Collibra workflows, integrations or data quality connections delivered the most value, and which were not worth the effort?
- 03How did you get business users and data stewards to adopt Collibra and keep glossary terms and ownership current?
