    Open data started the era of data around 2009
    Lacked monetization models and thinking –

    • global digital ecosystem in which
    • data is gathered, organized, and
    • exchanged by network of vendors
    • for the purpose of deriving value from the
    accumulated information
    • the gathered data is then passed to individuals or
    firms which typically take a fee.

    Data Monetization options
    • Empowering the sales force with data
    • Data is collected and analyzed for product development purposes
    • Data is used to identify problems and bottlenecks in internal processes
    • Using data in marketing and advertising
    • Selling data to players up and down the industry value chain
    • Selling data to players outside your own industry
    • Selling insights to customers
    • Using data to increase company valuation

    According to IBM, 90 percent of the
    data in the world today was created
    during the last two years alone.
    The data growth is most likely not
    decreasing since new devices, sensors
    and technologies emerge.
    1. We are drowning into data…

    Big data analytics (BDA)
    increasingly provide value to
    firms for robust decision
    making and solving business
    problems.
    DBA per se does not provide
    other organisations any ability
    to utilize the data for own
    purposes.
    2. Processed and analyzed…
    Platform of Trust is NOT a Big data analytics service

    The emerging API Economy has become a
    concrete opportunity to go beyond the
    traditional development of vertical ICT
    solutions.
    APIs are used to provide abstracted access
    massive data and services to external
    developers through Open APIs
    3. Access via APIs…

    Identify The
    Problem
    @Jarkko_Moilanen
    We can sum that
    1. data is gathered more and more
    easily and automatically
    2. we have efficient data management
    solutions and
    3. We have technical solutions to
    enable access to data. Yet not too
    often productized.
    For data economy to emerge, it
    has to be monetised and
    commercialized.
    Problem is in creating economy
    around the data.
    We need easy to consume data
    products

    Deeper dive into the Problems
    @Jarkko_Moilanen
    • Data is collected in lakes if even
    that
    • Data is ”just data” – mindset
    problem
    • Data is hard to monetize outside
    own organisation
    • No understanding of
    productizement of data (or need
    of it)
    • Data offered as snapshots –
    datasets
    • Consumers want API access
    (streaming)
    • Consumers want to buy access to
    data, not the data itself
    (subscription)
    • APIs as pipeline to data are
    addons – not well documented,
    difficult to onboard
    Built environment context

    What is a Data Product?
    @Jarkko_Moilanen
    Where is the ”Open API Spec” for data products?
    ”We have no other option but to define the
    spec for data product….”

    Ok, now we can technically define a data product! Yeah!
    Rock!
    ….Why aren’t the data
    owners creating data
    products?
    Answer is that we we did not look BACK far enough in the
    process.
    Customers have no tools to design
    data products.

    Ok, now we can technically define a data product and
    customers can design business driven data products
    ….Why aren’t the consumers
    using the data products?
    Answer is that you need modern access to data.
    Consumers want APIs and subscription driven data
    streams.

    Data Economy requires Productized
    data (products) and access (APIs)
    @Jarkko_Moilanen
    The added value is in the data which is packaged
    into easy to understand, buy and consume data
    products.
    Consumers are not buying APIs. APIs provide
    modern access to discover, purchase and
    consume given data products.
