SUCCESS STORY — GROUPE APICIL
Groupe APICIL — A Data Catalogue built together with the business and IT
To get full value from its business data, Groupe APICIL launched a Data Catalogue initiative in 2025 with DataGalaxy and KPC: a POV run on a regulatory use case, then a progressive rollout to the business and IT teams.

Background & core challenges
Business data that was largely underused
Groupe APICIL is a major social protection group.
The group's business data stayed underused: not for lack of volume, but for lack of knowledge, structure and sharing.
In early 2025, the group ran a tender for a Data Catalogue tool. DataGalaxy was shortlisted by the project committee, and a POV was run with KPC to validate it.
Fragmented documentation, hard to get at, a source of misunderstanding and duplicate reports
Usage rules barely shared, keeping mistrust alive and slowing decisions down
Complicated data access, limiting teams' autonomy and leaning on the experts
No visibility on who owns what, making the right person hard to find

Our approach
From POV to lasting use
An approach built with the business and IT, based on concrete use cases and strong involvement on the ground.
Proof of Value
A POV on a regulatory use case
On the QRT use case: framing the scope, building the glossary, dictionary and uses together, lineage and a Snowflake connector. The aim: validate the approach, the organization, the roadmap and the choice of vendor.
Governance & roles
A clear governance framework
Defining the roles and responsibilities of every stakeholder, and training the business and IT on DataGalaxy.
Rollout & embedding
A progressive rollout, embedded in how people work
The aim: make the DataGalaxy catalogue an unavoidable step in daily activity, in project processes and in the run, enriched progressively through the company's own use cases.
