DATA MESH IN 2023 AND BEYOND
Data mesh was a hot subject in 2022, and it’s continuing to drive the data management conversation even further this year.
Predictions for 2023 by industry insiders about data mesh include the following:
“Organizations that adopt data mesh principles will outperform those who take a data warehouse-only approach by double digits and at 30% lower cost.”
Cindi Howson, Chief Data Strategy Officer at ThoughtSpot.
🔹 Data mesh adoption will grow, driven by the framework of treating data as an asset and democratizing access to enterprise data.
[Suresh Sethuramaswamy, Forbes Councils Member, December 15, 2022].
As firms mature and accelerate digital and AI investments, they will focus more on “business value-driven data product creation.”
[Michele Goetz, VP, Principal Analyst at Forrester]
“The future of cloud adoption relies on a migration to a data mesh architecture… In 2023, we will see more companies electing to implement data mesh in order to drive cloud adoption and avoid disturbances to application performance.”
|Madalina Tanasie, CTO, Collibra – Data Management Solutions Review.]

Data Mesh: The role of domains in a “Data as a Product” approach
In this article, Violaine Berland, Data Consulting Director, and Killian Gaumont, Senior Consulting Manager, both of Artefact, discuss why treating data as a product, rather than a by-product, is one of the pillars of building a successful data mesh.
Key business values of the data as a product approach:
– It allows for greater flexibility and agility in how data is used and accessed.
– It encourages collaboration between domains and thus business units.
Organizational prerequisites for implementing data as a product:
– Clear policies and coordination between domain teams must be established to ensure that data is being used and managed consistently.
– Strong data governance and quality control are needed to ensure that data is of sufficient quality and trustworthiness to be used as a product.
