How to build a Data Marketplace based on Data Sharing Agreements and Data Fabric technology with Anjana Data and Denodo
Data Marketplace, Data Fabric, Data Mesh, Data Sharing Agreements, Data Contracts, Data Products, Data Spaces... You're bound to be familiar with all these buzzwords, as they are currently on the lips of many data management professionals discussing how to achieve governed data democratisation in organisations.
The controlled democratisation of data is a goal pursued by many organisations, but achieving it depends on many factors. In addition to factors related to people and processes (which are, not surprisingly, the most important), it is also relevant to consider the technologies that will be used to enable, facilitate, allow and, ultimately, ensure that data producers and consumers share their information assets and the knowledge held by the organisation in a completely secure and governed manner, but also with the necessary agility to provide differential value and achieve business objectives.
In this context, the integration of two leaders in the field of data management and governance, Anjana Data y Denodo, emerges as a powerful and effective solution to help organisations become more agile in governed data access and extract value from data for the business in a much more effective and efficient way.
This document, entitled «How to build a Data Marketplace based on Data Sharing Agreements and Data Fabric technology with Anjana Data and Denodo», aims to explore in detail how this integration can revolutionise the way organisations democratise and share their data assets.
Synergy through Integration
Anjana, a leading data governance solution, allows the definition of data contracts that specify the rules for user access and consumption of certain data assets, and only upon approval can users access those assets. Denodo, a leading Data Fabric solution, enables the governed provisioning of those data contracts defined in Anjana in a unified manner without the need to do so source by source. All of this can be achieved in a fully automated and unattended manner, reducing time and costs, avoiding human error, and ensuring control and auditing of the steps performed.
Benefits of the Anjana Data and Denodo tandem
GLOBAL ACTIVE GOVERNMENT
Anjana Data allows us to implement proactive and preventive data governance with a holistic, business-oriented approach that is agnostic to data platforms, while Denodo's Data Fabric technology allows us to manage data access from the governance layer and on a single “virtual” data warehouse that actually encompasses the entire company.
ACCESS TO DATA IN LINE WITH DEFINED POLICIES
Data sharing policies are embodied in Data Sharing Agreements, which consumer users can request to join by signing the associated data contracts to gain access to the corresponding information assets or data products. At the virtualisation layer, each user has a role that gives them restricted access to the various data repositories according to the DSAs to which their adherence has been approved and in accordance with the policies defined at the governance layer. Only one consumption layer (virtualisation) is managed, and from a single governance layer, greatly simplifying management.
GOVERNED ACCESS EXECUTION
The resolution of the access requested by a user is achieved through role-based validation workflows following the defined operating model. Once the workflow is approved, access permission is granted from the governance layer and not directly in the virtualisation layer, as it is included directly in the consumption group that is being mapped in the virtualisation layer.
ACCESS TO DATA THROUGH THE IDENTITY MANAGER
If the user no longer needs the data, they are simply removed from the consumption group. If the user leaves the company (deleted from the identity manager), they automatically lose their role on the virtualisation layer. This is done by managing the Data Sharing Agreements in the governance layer, from where the underlying technical processes are orchestrated automatically and unattended.
The integration of Anjana Data and Denodo represents a significant milestone on the path to more efficient and effective data management. By combining governance and virtualisation, organisations can improve their ability to access high-quality, governed information and make more informed decisions quickly and securely. In an ever-changing world, this alliance positions itself as an essential pillar in the data strategy of many organisations, enabling them to remain agile and competitive in today's landscape while meeting increasing regulatory and compliance demands.
