Kooperativa Customer case study

“Significantly accelerated work, fewer errors and delays”

Dawiso automatically loads millions of objects from databases and data models, presenting and making them accessible to users from various departments in a meaningful way. As a result, the work of analysts and developers has significantly accelerated, and the number of errors and delays in working with data has decreased.

The Ultimate Data Maze Transparency

“We have a clear overview of data flows. Before Dawiso, it was a bit complicated to see where the data comes from and to have all the sources documented in one place. Dawiso made this easy with its comprehensive data lineage. We also build on a unique capability in data modeling, which allows us to set up an optimal data design process. Support is always there for us when needed.”

Why teams switch to Dawiso

Built for data teams who want results, not complexity.

Independent vendor, focused on the catalog

Secoda was acquired by Atlassian in December 2025; its platform is migrating into Atlassian's Cloud Platform, with capabilities folded into Rovo AI and the Teamwork Graph. Dawiso is an independent, catalog-focused product with a public roadmap.

In-product setup, not a parent-platform feature

Configure schemas, workflows and roles directly in Dawiso, on a single data model linking business and technical metadata. Same product across SaaS, customer Azure and on-prem - 100% feature parity.

Same response SLA across every contract

Secoda support continuity follows Atlassian's integration timeline. Dawiso ships the same response SLA whether you are fifty seats or five thousand - no enterprise-tier gate, no acquiring-vendor renewal.

Frequently asked questions

Is Secoda still an independent data catalog?

No. Atlassian acquired Secoda in December 2025, and the platform is migrating into Atlassian's Cloud Platform, with Secoda's capabilities folded into Rovo AI and enriching Atlassian's Teamwork Graph. Atlassian states existing customers' experience will not change in the near term, and the team stays on - so this is a future-direction and vendor-independence question, not a support concern. Dawiso's only product is the catalog, on an independently-owned roadmap, with same-tier support on every plan and full feature parity across SaaS, customer Azure, and on-prem deployments.

How long does migration from Secoda take?

Two to four weeks is the typical Dawiso rollout end-to-end. Migration from Secoda adds a metadata export and a glossary mapping pass, which most teams finish inside one additional sprint. The connectors, ownership model, and tagging concepts map cleanly.

Can we run Secoda and Dawiso in parallel during evaluation?

Yes. Connect both to the same warehouse, point a small business team at Dawiso for a 30-day shadow trial, and compare adoption side by side. Given the uncertainty around the standalone Secoda roadmap post-acquisition, this is the pattern we recommend most often right now.

When does Secoda still make sense?

Small teams already deep inside the Atlassian ecosystem who welcome consolidation into Rovo and the Teamwork Graph may still find Secoda a fit. For teams that want a vendor whose only product is the catalog, on an independently-owned roadmap, that is the Dawiso case.
