Data products accelerate business value by leveraging domain expertise, empowering decentralized data teams, adopting a product-oriented mindset, and providing a marketplace for easy consumption.
Producers can quickly package and surface their data products for consumption, providing faster time to value. Product owners can receive feedback through Alation Conversations to help evolve existing products and derive new ones. Usage metrics from Alation Analytics help influence investment.
Consumers can find the data products pertinent to them. Organize by domain, department, or other categories to quickly access trusted products. Deepen product understanding through key facets like examples, underlying data assets, and limitations so the user can determine if it is fit for purpose.
Consumers trust products more when there is transparency of objectives such as frequency of change, accuracy, completeness, and data lineage. Quality improves with accountability shifting to the product team. Federated governance promotes flexibility while ensuring data privacy and protecting sensitive information.
Consumers access Alation Compose and Alation Connected Sheets to analyze data products directly from the point of discovery to shorten the time to insight.
