Data Product Approach

Create valuable products using your data – perfectly designed to meet business goals.

A scalable and user-friendly approach to democratise data value across your organisation. Non-technical users can reach the value trapped within data without needing extensive IT support.

Introduction to data products

Data products take scattered data from across systems and package it 
up with access rules, policies, security, and governance, before applying analytics or AI to create actionable insights.

With built-in data quality and performance metrics, data products are a reliable, transparent and compliant solution to achieve rapid and 
impactful insights.


Creating tangible value with
data products – an example

Finbarr Murphy

CEO | Modular Data

Data products provide a capability that can adapted to provide specific value relative to business goals. Our job is to understand which data product is most suitable and how it can be used to meet the needs of your team.

One of our most popular data products is Free Text Search, which is like a cross between a search engine and GenAI. It allows users to quickly find and use relevant information in unstructured text, which clearly is useful
in a lot of situations.

However, to give some specific examples in healthcare: researchers can use it to generate reports of diabetes incidence across regions; hospitals could use it to optimise theatre management by comparing waiting lists, slots, and surgeon availability; or GP surgeries could use it to list the records of all patients who have high blood pressure as part of a local initiative to reduce blood pressure in the region.

The data product approach combines governance, quality, and scalability to rapidly deliver what you need today and make it easier to adapt to the challenges of tomorrow.

Benefits of a data product approach

Cost-effective with a rapid time to value

Because all data use, analysis and technologies are tied tightly to business goals, time and budget isn’t wasted elsewhere on unnecessary activity. 
Why clean up a data lake when you only need a data puddle?

Easily scalable

Once the data product has been created, it’s easily shared and scaled 
by simply adding in new data feeds. This has the added benefit of standardising information, making it easier to compare between departments.

Fully accessible

Interact with insights via user friendly dashboards, or integrate directly 
into existing systems, so non-technical business users can easily access data value without having to pass through technical gatekeepers.

Data Product Discovery

Helping you choose the right data products to achieve your goals.

In discovery, we collaboratively review your business goals and the outcomes you want to achieve. We then identify the most relevant data products to meet your needs, with the clearly defined business value they should deliver. The focus is on high-impact areas where data products will have the biggest impact and shifting to more data-driven operations and decision-making.

At the end of this stage, you receive a bespoke catalogue of potential data products to choose from, each with clearly defined business value based on your objectives and priorities.

Data Product Strategy

A roadmap for immediate impact and
long-term success.

To create your Data Product Strategy, we work with you to agree the specific data products you want to prioritise from the shortlist to meet your business objectives. You receive 
a detailed implementation roadmap, that focuses on delivering immediate successes and long-term impact. The roadmap helps you to optimise resource allocation and assign measurable KPIs to assess data product performance.

This stage improves decision-making and promotes innovation by applying it on areas where you can add the
most value.

Data Product Delivery

Bringing your ambitions to life.

We bring your data strategy to life by building bespoke data products on our open-source data platform that guarantees transparency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. We focus on secure and efficient deployment of data products to ensure total functionality and seamless integration with your current systems.
