Data Marketplace

Data Marketplace

Most data catalog and governance tools are built for data engineers and stewards, the people who execute on data initiatives. They are not built for the business leaders, domain owners, and governance teams who identify the use cases that create value and are ultimately accountable for data. This creates a persistent gap: business stakeholders cannot engage with data on their own terms, and data governance remains a specialist function rather than a shared organizational capability.

Data Marketplace is built differently. Designed from the ground up for business users, it gives management and governance teams a clear, intuitive view of their entire data landscape, in the language they speak and the way they work.

Four roles, one platform

• Aggregator. Insight and oversight across your entire data landscape. See what data you have, where it lives, who owns it, how it is governed, what is being used, and what is underutilized.
• Administrator. Manage the business side of data that technical tools overlook: use case management, data sharing agreements, and governance workflows that business teams can own and operate.
• Advisor. Data governance expertise embedded in the platform. Teams are guided at every step with best practices built into workflows, not buried in documentation.
• AI Agent. Autonomous actions on your behalf: create glossaries, generate datasets from source metadata, explore high-value use cases, and generate board-ready governance insights.

Key capabilities

• Business Glossary with taxonomy and ontology capabilities, crowdsourced contributions, and a dual-control governance workflow (contributor, steward, owner).
• Datasets with unified management across internal, published, and external data, including classification, lineage, and governance metadata.
• Data Products aligned with Open Data Product Specification (ODPS) and Open Data Contract Standard (ODCS).
• Data Domains with a domain-based ownership model, hierarchy, steward assignment, and access control.
• Business Lineage connecting every entity in your data landscape: domains, data products, datasets, data elements, glossary terms, quality checks, people, and governance frameworks.
• Sharing Agreements covering the legal, privacy, and compliance scope that technical data contracts miss, with lawful basis tracking, cross-border transfer flags, NDMO DSI.7 alignment, and a full lifecycle from draft to renewal.
• Issue Management with a five-phase governance workflow: identification, analysis, planning, resolution, and closure. Dedicated owner, steward, and manager roles per issue. Data quality issues triggered automatically when thresholds are breached, with full traceability to the originating check and event.
• Metadata Connectors to import your governance catalog from Informatica CDGC, Collibra, Alation, Azure Purview, Databricks Unity Catalog, AWS Glue, Power BI, and more, with incremental sync and conflict resolution that preserves your manual governance work.
• Data Quality with decoupled governance and execution. Define requirements in Data Marketplace and execute with Soda, Great Expectations, dbt, Informatica, or any custom tool. Three-level thresholds with flexible aggregation make quality actionable for business users.
• NDMO Compliance Cockpit for Saudi Arabia's NDMO requirements, including maturity assessment, NDI scoring, acceptance evidence, and OE metrics.
• Import Hub with Excel-based bulk imports, a CKAN adapter connecting to 100+ government open data portals, and asynchronous processing for large catalogs.
• MCP Server with 40+ tools for natural language interaction through Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI clients.
• White-label branding with dedicated per-client instances, full visual identity, and complete data isolation.
• Internationalization supporting English, Arabic, and Dutch with native RTL support built from the ground up.
• Enterprise security including RBAC, HTTPS, HSTS, CSRF protection, rate limiting, and audit logging.
• Cloud-native on Azure with containerized deployment, PostgreSQL, Azure Blob Storage, and background processing.
