I already have a data catalog. Why would I need DataGalaxy Portfolio?

A data catalog is the first step in a company's data strategy to manage the data inventory and set up data governance. You can see it as the front line: it’s crucial but highly technical and detailed.

It’s interesting for experts but unusable by business teams and C level decision makers who need a consolidated view on all their ongoing investments.

DataGalaxy Portfolio centralizes all the data from your tools to make them easy to access and understand for all organization levels, providing a collaborative environment where you can easily track and drive the value generated by your data investments.

I already have Jira. Why would I need DataGalaxy Portfolio?

Jira is for operation management of different project launches and closings.

Therefore, Jira is totally integrated with DataGalaxy Portfolio allowing the tech teams to bridge the gap with the rest of the users.

Thanks to DataGalaxy Portfolio you can go beyond what Jira has to offer and be able to track in more detail all your ongoing projects, collect ideas, qualify them, build specific dashboards for your specific needs from finance to marketing and supply chain and manage value in all the steps of your data projects' lifecycle. See Configure the Jira Connector.

I don't want yet another tool on top of the ones I already use.

DataGalaxy Portfolio seamlessly integrates with all the tools you use in your data & analytics journey, becoming a central cockpit for all your operations, to easily collaborate around your ongoing initiative, trigger collaboration within your data and business teams, and manage the value generated from your data investments.
