NB Bank (DNB), Norway’s largest
financial services group, has announced
its partnership with Collibra, a leader in
enterprise data governance and data
cataloguing software, to enable the group’s
global data strategy.
The Collibra platform will allow DNB to
better understand how data is being utilised
in business processes to deliver value to
customers, optimise business operations and
monitor the bank’s compliance with industry
data regulations.
“Digital adoption is driving an explosive
growth of data, creating new challenges to
manage and ensure compliant use of large
volumes of data. The Collibra platform is
bringing context to DNB’s complex data
landscape and fuelling the shift to a data-
driven organisation,” said Aidan Millar,
Executive Vice President Group Digital Insights
and Chief Data Officer (CDO) at DNB.
DNB’s partnership with Collibra is part of
a broader group-wide focus on deploying
a leading-edge data strategy. The bank is
reinforcing the importance of data and its
foundation to the bank’s Customer Insights
strategy to listen to the ‘digital voice’ of
the customer and deliver tailored digital
customer experiences in a compliant and
meaningful way – delivering the right offer,
through the right channel, at the right price,
at the right time.
Steve Neat, Collibra, VP Sales, EMEA, said:
“Today, as companies across all industries
embrace an inevitable Digital Transformation,
we’re seeing them struggle to make sense of
the huge volumes of data that they’re now
collecting in an efficient and compliant way.
“Data governance helps unlock the true
value of this data – so we’re delighted to
be partnering with DNB on their Customer
Insights programme and overall strategic
data initiative.”

inride, Ericsson and Telia are putting
5G into motion at a DB Schenker
facility in Jönköping, Sweden. The goal
is to power an all-electric, autonomous
transport ecosystem that takes fleet
management to the next level.
Ericsson Radio System and Ericsson
Cloud Core for 5G are providing high-
performance connectivity to Einride’s
T-pod – a driverless vehicle operating
continuously at DB Schenker’s logistics
facilities in Jönköping, Sweden.
Robert Falck, CEO and Founder of
Einride, said: “Our driving mission is to
lead the sustainable transition of road
freight transportation. 5G provides the
connectivity and reliability we need to
safely introduce the T-pod onto public
roads, paving the way for a 90% reduction
in CO2 emissions and the elimination of
nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.”
Ewald Kaiser, Chief Operating Officer, DB
Schenker, said: “This pilot is a milestone
in the transition to an intelligent
transportation system which will be safe,
cost-efficient and sustainable.
Autonomous, all-electric trucks on public
roads is not a dream anymore – it’s
happening right now. Thanks to our
partnership with Einride and connectivity
through Ericsson and Telia, we are at the
forefront of this great transition.”
Mats Lundbäck, Chief Technology
Officer, Telia Sweden, said: “5G is a very
exciting technology that will enable new
sustainable business opportunities and
create customer value.
“Together with our partners, we are
building a powerful ecosystem that
is going to have a deep impact for
customers and society as a whole.”
