Why data products are business critical
According to ISG, by 2027, more than three in five enterprises will adopt technologies to facilitate the delivery of data as a product.
Data products are essential because they:
- Standardize data access. Offers reusable, well-documented data products.
- Build trust. Shows clear ownership, definitions, quality indicators, and lineage so users know what they’re consuming.
- Increase agility. Enables self-service governance so users can discover data products without relying on IT.
- Strengthen governance. Applies policies, contracts, and access controls to keep usage compliant and consistent.
- Accelerate AI and analytics. Feeds AI agents and analysts curated, contextual, production-ready data.
Taking a data product approach helps organizations expand AI and other use cases with confidence.
Choosing the right platform makes all the difference by offering a consistent way to package, govern, and deliver data. This enables business teams and AI initiatives to move faster with fewer risks and dependencies.
