tackle the challenges of decentralizing data at enterprise scale.
We're pioneering a new way for developers to work with data,
enabling them to share it responsibly through data product
containers and empowering AI, machine learning, and analytics with
decentralized, responsible, and equitable data ownership that
transcends organizational, technological, and trust boundaries.Our
vision is to transform the experience of creating, sharing,
discovering, and using data by adhering to data mesh principles,
making this process more connected, faster, and fairer than ever
before. We recognize that the world of data is complex and
ever-changing: data models become outdated rapidly; data is owned
across different trust boundaries; it's stored on various
platforms; used in multiple modes; and data can't protect itself.
Previous centralized approaches to data collection, modeling, and
governance are not only ineffective but can also be unfair. That's
why our technology empowers data developers, users, and owners with
a delightful experience, treating data products as first-class
primitives with built-in trust-we're reimagining the world of
data.
