Ecosystem-Based Data Products and DaaS: Complexity Analysis and Design Considerations

Data activities and technologies in modern organisations are becoming more diverse and complex, and continuously operate, change, and evolve as an enterprise data ecosystem (EDE). This fast-changing environment presents both challenges and opportunities for many computing and design concepts and approaches and raises the questions whether and how they can be continuously and effectively applied. This paper analyses operation features and complexity of EDE and delves into design considerations for data products and Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) to play their roles as solutions for data practice management improvement, integration, interoperability and design of services in data space.
