One Data is a German technology company with four offices and around 200 employees, operating primarily in the DACH region. The company was founded in 2013 as ONE LOGIC. Initially driven by the ambition to become a European leader in AI, One Data launched its first product in 2015, positioning itself as the industry’s first data product builder and putting a strong emphasis on data integration and governance. Although industry agnostic, the company has established a strong presence in pharmaceutical and specialized manufacturing sectors, including automotive supply chain solutions, while also expanding into retail.
Today, the company’s platform is designed to manage the entire lifecycle of data products, from initial conception to data extraction, preparation and discoverability.
One Data is built to support both data product owners and data consumers. The platform offers tools to facilitate data product requests, helping data product owners to determine the potential business value of a data product and translate the consumers’ requirements into technical specifications for developers.
In terms of managing data products, One Data offers monitoring features that help identify data quality issues, track data lineage, and provide an overview of data assets for product or domain owners. The platform provides an interactive data map for data discovery and a marketplace for accessing data products, making it easier for users to explore available resources.
The platform’s workflows and interface are designed for different roles. For example, the data product creation process is designed primarily for tech-savvy users (e.g., to design data integration pipelines) and data engineers, while data consumers with less exposure to data & analytics software can easily navigate their way through the marketplace functions.
To support customer success, One Data provides an academy, community training, customized onboarding services and dedicated customer success managers. A team of in-house data scientists, organized as a dedicated service unit, can further accelerate the delivery of customers’ data products, ensuring rapid time-to-value.
From a technical standpoint, One Data can be deployed on AWS, Azure or on-premises environments. Apache Spark powers the platform’s data transformations, ensuring robust and scalable data processing capabilities.
