Challenges and Opportunities of Internal Self-Service Data Solutions

Subscribe to our newsletter

The concept of internal self-service data solutions is gaining traction as financial institutions and corporations see value in the data sets they generate through their business activities. That said, harnessing the data to provide valuable insights for internal business teams can be a challenge. One approach is to adopt a self-service data delivery model that empowers consumers and ensures they get access to the right data to meet their needs.

A recent white paper researched and written by A-Team Group, and sponsored by TickSmith, Driving Data Adoption Throughout an Organization via Self-Service, considers how organisations can use self-service to improve the quality of internal data sets available to consumers, while freeing up internal data producers to take a more strategic approach to data product design and creation.

In more detail, the paper covers the challenges of data preparation and the processing landscape, and sets out the benefits of a self-service approach. It also offers a snapshot of TickSmith’s Data Web Store, which offers a practical solution that allows data producers to make valuable data sets available to business users by creating an internal ‘marketplace’ of standardised data products.
