Building Data Products That Matter: The Data Product Pyramid in Action

We are excited to be guiding another organization on their Data Product journey using our Data Product Pyramid process! ๐Ÿš€

Too often, data initiatives get bogged down in infrastructure, governance debates, or endless data modeling exercises before proving real business value.

Thatโ€™s why we take a business-first, use-case-driven approachโ€”delivering end-to-end business-oriented data products that solve real problems fast and evolve with the business.

How We Approach Data Product Success

1๏ธโƒฃ Use Case-Driven from Day One

We start with a well-defined business problem, ensuring every data product has a clear purpose, stakeholder buy-in, and measurable impact.

2๏ธโƒฃ Top-to-Bottom Vertical Slices

Rather than boiling the ocean, we build vertical slices of fully functional data productsโ€”from ingestion to insightsโ€”aligned to a business use case.This ensures:
โœ”๏ธ Fast iteration
โœ”๏ธ Quick validation
โœ”๏ธ Tangible business impact early

3๏ธโƒฃ A Business-Facing Data Product Operating Model

We customize our Data Product Pyramid approach to fit the organizationโ€™s structure, ensuring data products are:
โœ… Composable โ€“ Can be reused across the business
โœ… Autonomous โ€“ Owned by domains, not buried in central IT
โœ… Governed โ€“ Clear SLAs, quality standards, and access controls

4๏ธโƒฃ A Living Knowledge Base, Not Just Isolated Data

Data only has value in the context of business processesโ€”so we go beyond just creating data assets.We build business-facing Knowledge Bases, where:
๐Ÿ”น Every data product is tied to a business workflow
๐Ÿ”น Data lives in the flow of business operations, not in silos
๐Ÿ”น Insights are captured where they create value, not locked away in reports

The Outcome?

โœ… Faster time to value โ€“ No waiting months to see impact
โœ… Scalable and repeatable data products โ€“ Built for reuse, not one-offs
โœ… Business-led data strategy โ€“ Focused on outcomes, not just assets

Weโ€™re helping organizations make their data work for the businessโ€”not the other way around.
