In recent years, the concept of treating data as a product has gained traction, especially as organizations strive to remain competitive by maximizing the value of their data assets. As part of this effort, many companies have turned to data mesh and data fabric strategies to better manage their data ecosystems. 

This presentation will explore the idea of data as a product and how, for any organization, it may be the best approach to the challenges of data management. We will discuss the benefits of treating data as a product, organizing around it, and how these ideas can transform the partnership between centralized data teams and the business.

Furthermore, we will delve into the technical aspects of implementing data as a product within a data mesh or data fabric framework. This will include a discussion of data architecture and governance best practices, as well as tools and technologies that can be used to achieve these goals.

By the end of this presentation, attendees will have a solid understanding of how data as a product can help organizations to maximize the value of their data assets and how this concept fits into the broader context of data mesh and data fabric. They will also gain practical insights and strategies for implementing these concepts within their own organizations from the success stories presented.
