Data Mesh

We support our clients through all steps from developing a data strategy and consulting to the technical implementation in the spirit of a Data Mesh approach. This begins with a thorough analysis of the existing data infrastructure to identify current strengths and weaknesses. This includes evaluating data sources, storage, processing systems, and tools, as well as organizational structures and data-relevant processes. This is followed by the identification of domains and domain owners. As part of the decentralization of ownership of analytical data to business domains, individual teams or departments within an organization take responsibility for specific data areas (domains). Subsequently, the establishment of Self-Serve data platforms occurs. A new generation of platform services eliminates obstacles in data provisioning, from the data source to its use. Data discovery and access are facilitated, and teams are empowered to access, process, and analyze all necessary data without relying on data experts. In a further step, the implementation of Data-as-a-Product principles, data products, functions of the data, target audiences, and terms of use are defined, so that data can be used and marketed as independent products. After the final development of governance and security policies that guarantee proper data management and security, your organization will also have structures for handling data that correspond to the latest principles of Data Mesh.

The introduction of Data Mesh typically begins with pilot projects for testing purposes on a limited scale. Building on this, the Data Mesh initiative is continuously optimized. Together with you, we develop suitable use cases that provide real added value.

Data Mesh promotes a self-service-oriented and product-oriented mindset in handling data, thus improving collaboration, enhancing agility, and facilitating the scalability of data ecosystems in companies. By decentralizing data responsibility and management, Data Mesh aims to increase the efficiency of data usage and enable innovative data analyses and insights beyond traditional silo boundaries.

To help you profitably anchor the vision and strategy of Data Mesh in your company, we conduct training and workshops with your employees designed to promote general acceptance of the Data Mesh structure in addition to the required expertise.
