Creating a corporate data marketplace for a major engineering and construction corporation.

The creation of a corporate data marketplace has become a key necessity for a large engineering and construction corporation. This company comprises multiple entities, each with its own independent data strategy. To unify criteria and generate a unified source of truth for decision-making, a data mesh architecture has been chosen for the data management strategy.

This distributed data architecture has led to the need to pool the most valuable elements from each of the independent units: data, analytical models, indicators, and reports. These valuable assets can be of interest and utility beyond the borders of the units responsible for their creation and exploitation.

To address this issue, the company has opted to work with Galeo to develop a self-managed data catalog that allows for the governed creation of the corporate marketplace. The data product owner units can manage their publication, define the rules for their reuse, and govern the processes and access linked to the data catalog product.

For their part, platform users can explore the catalog, discover valuable data products, and learn about their content. If a user finds a data product of interest, they can request access to the content through the marketplace and begin to reuse it through the access interfaces provided by the marketplace itself.

This corporate data marketplace will enable the company to enhance its decision-making capabilities and make more effective use of its valuable data assets. Furthermore, the self-managed data catalog and governance integrated into the marketplace ensure that the company can work collaboratively and efficiently, improving the management and reuse of its data and analytical assets. Ultimately, this should lead to increased efficiency and profitability in the company’s operations.
