Further information

The data analytics (DA) landscape regularly oscillates between centralized and decentralized approaches to data governance and strategy depending on prevailing trends. While both have their advantages, they also come with drawbacks. Could a federated approach like data mesh be the solution? Adopting the data mesh concept translates to empowering business domains to create valuable data products while creating synergies through shared platforms, interoperability policies and data (product) discoverability.

This BARC study explores the practical application of the data mesh and data fabric concepts in the data analytics community. In its second edition, it builds upon last year’s findings, highlighting significant developments and trends around the concepts including the growing interest in data products.

The study is based on a worldwide online survey of 197 respondents.
