Case Study: Nasdaq cuts time spent on data discovery by one-third with Atlan

Key results

The challenge

Nasdaq operates U.S. trading systems that process 140 billion events per day. An internal survey of nearly 100 users found that most spent meaningful time understanding data context, with power users dedicating about two of their six-plus weekly data hours just to that.

The solution

Nasdaq built an active metadata strategy on Atlan to centralize context and make data discoverable across teams, giving users a single place to understand existing data.

The results, in context

Nasdaq reported roughly a one-third reduction in time spent on data discovery after adopting Atlan. The figure is quoted from Atlan's published customer story and dated.
