What are data products?
A data product is a collection of data assets that have been taken from raw to curated status, for a specific business purpose. Built for reuse and actively managed from definition through retirement by the owner, data products power solutions and dashboards with high fidelity, trusted insights. The more that a data product can be reused or monetized, the more it’s worth. Data products that can simply and reliably create value for a wide impact radius are the most prized of all.

Companies spend billions on data ecosystems, assets, and services every year to shorten time to insights, increase productivity, and increase margins. Even when data investments underperform expectations, leaders remain convinced: The road to growth begins with data—and often, data products.
