New Collibra User Interface Coming September 23rd…
I am thrilled to announce the launch of our new Collibra User Interface (UI), designed to transform your data governance experience. After extensive research and user feedback, we’ve designed a sleek, intuitive environment to enhance your usability and efficiency.
Collibra’s new UI isn’t just an update; it’s a reimagining of how you interact with WashU’s data governance tool. By focusing on user experience, we’ve created a platform that is more powerful and enjoyable to use. The improved efficiency and ease of use will help maximize your productivity and assist you in achieving your data governance goals more effectively.
