Data Products For Dummies

Unlock the value in your data

Data products are an innovative, modern way of packaging curated datasets. They can be saved, published, searched for, and shared across teams. As such, data products are part of a paradigm shift toward viewing data-as-a-product. This methodological shift allows for increased sharing and collaboration by enhancing self-service access to data.

This shift impacts businesses that use data in many ways and sometimes marks a movement away from reliance on IT teams towards a greater emphasis on the business functions that own the data and know it best. In this way, you can think of data products as tools that improve data democratization within an organization.

This change can take many forms, including the data decentralization approach known as data mesh. However, there are other ways to use data products or data-as-a-product. The breadth of use cases is one of the many reasons that data products represent an exciting new future in Big Data, with a turn towards greater usefulness and accessibility.
