Data is the key to better decision-making. Organizations diligently collect vast amounts of data, building data lakes and warehouses to unify it all. The promise is clear - To convert all this data into actionable insights and drive tangible business results. But the reality? Transforming data into actionable domain-specific intelligence and tangible business outcomes remains challenging.
The real struggle lies in the divide between data producers—those who build the data artifacts — and data consumers — who meticulously seek to leverage these data assets to drive impactful business outcomes. This gap is not just a communication hiccup; it is worsened by fragmented data management practices, centralized teams that are unable to scale and incorporate data consumer perspectives, inconsistent or poor data quality, lack of transparency across the data value chain, and murky data ownership. As a result, organizations miss realizing their data's true transformative potential. Bridging this gap between data and insights thus becomes essential for staying competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.
With the all-new Qlik Talend Cloud, a unified data management platform that brings together the best of data integration, transformation, quality, and governance, you can unlock the true potential of your data - from supercharging AI innovation to fueling smarter decision making.
At its core, Qlik Talend Cloud introduces Data Products, a paradigm shift in data management where your data is managed just like a real product. Just like a consumer product built for a specific purpose has many curated ingredients, a data product has packaged all the data elements - data, transformations, quality checks, access controls, and infrastructure - into a single, trusted, domain-centric consumable unit. As a result, Data Products bridge the gap between data producers and data consumers.
According to Harvard Business Review, “companies that treat data as a product reduce the time it takes to implement it in new use cases by as much as 90%, and decrease their total cost of ownership (technology, development, and maintenance) costs by up to 30%, and reduce their risks with data governance burden.”
Here are 5 top things you need to know about Data Products in Qlik Talend Cloud -
