The Exchange
The Exchange is Capital One's internal data catalog and search engine. Data scientists, data analysts, and software engineers use it to easily find the data they need and quickly learn how to start using it. We reduced the time for users to find the data they were looking for by 60%.
Our users were data scientists, data analysts and software engineers, the feedback we heard from them is that data is hard to FIND and hard to TRUST. The organization relied on tribal knowledge, and our users they wanted to see that tribal knoweldge reflected on the platform. When users find a piece of data they want to experiment with, they can easily see if others have been using the data recently, when it was last updated, how to easily get access to it, and how to start to use it.
