Bayer Consumer Health scales global self-service analytics with Unity Catalog

Bayer Consumer Health scaled global self-service analytics by adopting Databricks and Unity Catalog to eliminate data silos across 100+ markets.

• •Previous setup suffered from "data tourism" — data copied across fragmented, market-specific tech stacks, raising costs and slowing decisions
• •Databricks provides template-based environments with dedicated service instances for resource isolation and parallel team workflows
• •Unity Catalog replaced Hive Metastore, shifting from push-based to pull-based data sharing so teams access governed assets without copying data
• •Serverless infrastructure combined with Unity Catalog enables dev environments to access production-grade core data assets securely
• •A central reporting endpoint links all catalogs, letting 2,000+ business users discover and combine data across domains from a single governed entry point
