What Are Data Products?

Data products are well-governed, reusable, and accessible data assets designed to power specific business use cases. They ensure data quality, usability, and availability for their intended consumers, typically within either operational or analytical environments.

Unlike raw datasets, a data product is purpose-built with governance, structure, and maintenance to ensure it is reliable and ready for use within an organization. By utilizing data products, companies can streamline access, enhance data quality, and drive innovation.

As businesses evolve and face an increasing need to respond to changes and opportunities in real time, a new way of envisioning how data products can be leveraged is emerging: universal data products.
