Collibra growth playbook

Diagnosis

Collibra is repositioning from data governance to AI context and control, and its hiring follows: a technical product marketer for AI and unstructured data, a dedicated Deasy Labs account executive, unstructured-AI engineers, a public-sector GM and services sellers. The site lags the strategy.

Deasy Labs, bought in July 2025, still sends buyers to another site with no product page or tour on collibra.com; the new Hallucination Tax Report has no page; Maestro has no product page; and customer stories still sell "Data Intelligence".

This playbook brings Deasy, Maestro, Live Map and the report onto the site first, then builds expansion assessments, a Databricks joint play, a public benchmark, public-sector and services plays, and bets on a free document check, the MCP server as a developer front door and EU AI Act leadership.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Win the AI engineering buyer, who evaluates by trying things, with self-serve tours, a free document check and an MCP quickstart, all on collibra.com.

Biggest Risk

Atlan, Alation, Informatica from Salesforce and AI governance specialists such as Credo AI are all claiming the "context for AI" position, and buyers may see Collibra as a governance tool rather than an AI platform.

Start here

The three moves to make first. Each one is written up in full below.

  1. 1

    Give Deasy Labs a product page and a guided tour on collibra.com, instead of sending buyers to another site

    Count last quarter's Deasy demo requests from each site.

Quick wins with a clear first action.

  • 01

    Fifteen months after the acquisition, Deasy Labs is still the one product on the menu that leaves collibra.com: the Products menu links it to deasylabs.com, there is no Deasy product page among the 14, the unstructured-data use-case page sends both its tour and its demo buttons off-site, and that page's search description is the AI governance copy. The tour library has 13 self-guided tours and none for unstructured data. Collibra is now hiring a Technical PMM for "AI and unstructured data" who will build guided tours, and a dedicated Deasy Labs AE to sell to AI teams.

    Change the use-case page description and point its demo button at the Collibra form today.

    Why it works

    Publish /products/deasy-labs on collibra.com (what it does, SharePoint/email/PDF sources, sensitivity screening, Live Map, how it plugs into the catalog and AI Command Center), add a 5-minute guided tour of the Deasy flow to /tour, give the use-case page its own description, and send every Deasy demo request to the Collibra AI Sales team with the source recorded. Keep deasylabs.com for its docs and point its demo button to the same form.

    Buyers who meet unstructured data inside the Collibra site see it as part of the platform, which is the "unified governance" promise of the acquisition. A no-scheduling tour lets AI engineers see the product the way they prefer to evaluate, and one demo form gives the new AE a single, measurable pipeline.

    Put the headline findings on a page today.

    Why it works

    Publish /hallucination-tax-report with the headline findings open, the full report behind a short form, a chart pack for press, and links to Maestro and Guardian Agents. Update the release link and use the page in ads and AE outreach.

    Original research is Collibra's strongest lead source with AI leaders, and it only works if there is a page to land on.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Gating cuts reach

      Keep the key findings open.

    Evidence

    • News coveragePress release, September 23, 2026: Collibra Maestro (no-code governance agents, available now with Public Preview of Maestro Studio and Assistant), Live Map "from Deasy Labs by Collibra" ("opening this quarter to a small group of design partners") and Guardian Agents with Agent Contracts (in AI Command Center in October).

    Rewrite the five most-visited stories.

    Why it works

    Rewrite every story's title tag and description around the outcome and the AI angle where true, fix Toyota's, and tag stories by product so the AI Command Center and Deasy pages can show relevant proof.

    Search results and AI assistants read descriptions first; dated wording makes the proof look like it belongs to an old product.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Overclaiming AI use

      Only mention AI where the customer approved it.

    Evidence

    • Your websiteCustomer stories (40 checked October 21, 2026): newest September 2026; 15 meta descriptions still say "Data Intelligence Platform" or "data intelligence", none says "AI Control Plane"; only three descriptions (McDonald's, Quintet, Weir Group) mention AI; the Toyota Motor Europe story's description reads "Discover Toyota Motor Europe: innovative hybrid and electric vehicles".Source
    • Your websiteHomepage: H1 "The enterprise standard for AI context and control"; "78 Fortune 500 Companies", "5x Forrester Wave Leader", "2x Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader", ">2B data assets managed"; a Deasy Labs section cites a "Benchmark series, Deasy Labs by Collibra" for its context-layer claims.Source

    Why it works

    Replace each Vidyard embed with a poster image that loads the player on click, serve images in modern formats at display size, and set a page-weight budget.

    Event attendees and ad clicks often arrive on phones and conference Wi-Fi; a lighter page protects those first visits.

    Risks and how to handle them

    Why it works

    Package a two-week assessment: connect one SharePoint site or document share, show what is sensitive, stale or duplicated, and what an AI agent would retrieve. Offer it through account teams to governance customers with live AI projects.

    Expansion into existing accounts is faster than new logos, and a result on the customer's own documents makes the case.

    Hold one roundtable.

    Why it works

    Publish an open control library for common AI regulations, run DACH roundtables with the trail ML founders, and package an AI Act readiness offer with services.

    Regulation creates deadlines, and local experts make Collibra the obvious choice in the market.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Legal advice risk

      Frame as controls, not legal opinions.

    Evidence

    • News coveragePress release, October 5, 2026: Collibra acquires trail ML, "a Munich-based AI governance company founded in 2023", to "automate AI governance from policy to production" with "agent-powered automation, continuous assessment and runtime control".Source

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

ProgrammableInfo

Turn the research into a list you can act on

These ideas start with finding the right companies. Info finds them and the right person at each, researches every one and drafts the outreach, then asks before it sends.

  • Build this list in Info for idea #20 (opens programmable.info in a new tab)

New accounts: 100,000 free credits with code BETA100K

Find the companies (opens programmable.info in a new tab)
ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Make a demo (opens programmable.digital in a new tab)
