Australasian brewer Lion picks Informatica for data governance

Australian and New Zealand brewer Lion has appointed Informatica to support its data management transformation.

In Australia, the company employs more than 2,000 people and works with customers nationwide. 

In New Zealand, Lion is the nation’s largest and most iconic beverage company, directly employing around 1,000 people.

Historically, the beverage industry has had low data maturity with multiple data siloes and limited sharing of knowledge. In recent years, Lion has embarked on a major IT transformation to create a next-generation digital enterprise for its business. 

To close knowledge gaps in the enterprise due to data fragmentation and disparate data sources, Lion chose to implement Informatica’s Cloud Data Governance and Catalog, a service supported by Informatica’s AI-powered Intelligent Data Management Cloud platform, to gain increased visibility into the organisation’s data assets and to uplift the quality of the data across their enterprise.

“We need to be a data-driven company and Informatica is enabling our company to maximise the value of our ERP and cloud investments by breaking down data silos and empowering us with fit-for-purpose, trusted data across our organisation to accelerate data-driven decision making and analytics,” said Ben Walker, Data Director at Lion.

Alex Newman, country manager for Informatica Australia and New Zealand, said that with their cloud data governance solution, Lion can quickly and accurately organise, manage data, leverage trustworthy data and share it confidently across their organisation to drive data intelligence for better business outcomes.
