29 days agoIf you are looking to save money when guessing/planning for Collibra License purchases at the beginning of the year only to find that due to business issues you are not able to use all the licenses but you have already paid for them then this ideation is for you. Consider Up Voting this so we can pay for licenses that we use instead of buying a bucket only to waste money with unused licenses.
Annual License Renewal - Pay as you go model for | Ideation platformWhat types of users would benefit?
The Data Governance Program Leadership, Collibra Administrators making decisions annually about how many Creator/Contributor/Viewer licenses you may need a year from now.
What impact will it make?
For the individuals involved in the annual license renewal process it is a difficult exercise in estimating the number of Creator and Contributor licenses you may need in your program 12 months from now. If you estimate you will need 50 Creators, and your program is successful, and you allocate all 50 licenses then things are great. If you estimate 50 Creators and your program is only able to grow at the rate that you are allocating 20 licenses, then you have spent $90,000 (list) on licenses that are not used - and go to waste. That is a very costly gamble for customers impacted by numerous factors which are many times outside of their control.
Collibra has a method of purchasing additional licenses mid-year but no way to get back the lost cash for unused licenses.
How should it work?
Since Collibra knows how many Creator/Contributor licenses are actively allocated to users in Collibra tool - then allow us to pay for the licenses we use on a monthly or quarterly basis up to a maximum set by the annual license renewal process.
I realize there are times when a user is granted a role which carries with it a Creator license and the intent was not to allow them to edit records. So, there would need to be a month grace period or something along those lines.

1 month agoHello network. Curious to hear if anyone has evaluated Collibra to support compliance with parts of the Digital Operational Resilience Act | European Banking Authority ("DORA"), the most obvious area being to support the requirements to identify, classify and map "information assets" in relation to critical business processes ("Critical Important Functions, CIFs") and applications (subset of "ICT assets").
