Data Economy

Turn data into decisions, not just dashboards

A way to see how data actually creates value in your business, from where it comes from to the decisions it enables.

Data Economy

Data Economy

How enterprises trace data from source to trusted product to real business value.

How value actually flows

Source

Where the data actually comes from, and how reliable it is.

Trust

Whether it's governed, owned and checked enough to act on.

Product

Turned into something reusable, not a one off export.

Decision

Used to actually decide something, not just report on it.

Value

The business result the decision produces.

Example data products

Illustrative examples of how a data product connects a source, an owner, and the decisions that depend on it.

Customer 360A unified, trusted view of a customer across CRM, billing, support and product usage systems.
Owner

Sales operations, with data engineering as technical custodian

Consumers:SalesMarketingCustomer successExecutive reportingChurn and propensity models
Business value

Removes the manual reconciliation sales and success teams do today across CRM, billing and support tickets before every renewal or upsell conversation.

AI relevance

The single most reused input for churn prediction, next-best-action and lifetime value models. Model quality tracks this product's completeness almost directly.

Quality risk

Identity resolution across systems is imperfect. Duplicate or merged accounts can silently double count revenue in downstream reporting.

Decision dependency

Any decision about a CDP, CRM replacement or churn model build vs buy should treat this product's maturity as a precondition, not an afterthought.

Predictive Maintenance SignalsSensor and machine telemetry from operational equipment, cleaned and aligned to a maintenance event history.
Owner

Plant operations, with a data platform team providing pipelines

Consumers:Maintenance planningReliability engineeringSupply chain for spare partsAI use case: failure prediction
Business value

Shifts maintenance from fixed schedules to condition based intervention, which is the difference between planned downtime and unplanned line stoppage.

AI relevance

Directly feeds failure prediction and remaining-useful-life models. Without a clean, timestamped maintenance event history to train against, those models cannot be validated.

Quality risk

Sensor drift and gaps during connectivity loss are common. A model trained on unflagged gaps will learn the gap pattern, not the failure pattern.

Decision dependency

A build vs buy decision on a predictive maintenance platform should weigh whether this signal history exists at sufficient quality before comparing vendor AI capability.
