Data Products
We at Eckerson Group are big believers in data products. They promise to address the core problems we see at EVERY client, which can be expressed in this mantra:
“Business users can’t find the right data; when they find it, they can’t access it; when they access it, they don’t trust it.”
Baked into this mantra are the data problems afflicting most organizations: a backlog of data requests, data silos, poor governance, inconsistent results, minimal data sharing, and frustrated business users. In our opinion, data products can address most of these ailments.
