Dataceen - The concept

The business mandates behind Digital transformation – to rethink old operating models, experiment more, and become faster in our ability to respond to customers and rivals- force us to rethink how we manage and consume our data.

The core concept of Dataceen is to establish a specialized environment focused on how data is consumed, while still allowing master data systems to operate in their original contexts where data is initially created. This unique "consuming environment" emphasizes the relationships between data from various master systems and how your business can capitalize on these connections. We refer to this approach as ‘telling stories’ with your data, shifting the focus from mere data maintenance to deriving actionable insights.

The process begins with you defining one or more non-technical data models that represent your business—describing data elements and their interrelationships. These models are created using the intuitive Dataceen administration tool, which enables you to easily map out your data landscape.

Once the models are established, Dataceen automates several critical processes:

  • Database Creation: Dataceen generates databases based on your models, ensuring that these databases are owned and controlled by your organization, providing you with full sovereignty over your data.

  • Secure API Development: It creates secure APIs that facilitate the integration of master data systems with your new databases, allowing them to write data efficiently and safely.

  • Change Tracking and Event Storage: Dataceen accurately tracks changes to data elements and stores these modifications in an event store. This event store provides the ability to replay data changes whenever necessary, giving you the flexibility to analyze historical data states.

  • API Creation for Consumer Applications: It generates secure APIs for client applications, enabling seamless access to your data while maintaining stringent security protocols.

  • Search Engine Development: Dataceen builds and maintains search engines that leverage data from any segment of your model, allowing you to quickly and efficiently retrieve insights.

  • Notification Services: The platform provides secure notification services for subscribed client applications, keeping stakeholders informed of relevant changes or updates in real-time.

  • Developer Documentation Generation: Dataceen automatically produces comprehensive documentation for developers, complete with working code examples tailored to all aspects of your model, which simplifies onboarding and usage.

  • Source Code Generation: It even generates source code to offer your development team a head start in building and enhancing your business applications, streamlining development processes and reducing time to market.

  • …and a lot more

Overall, Dataceen not only simplifies data management and consumption but also empowers you to turn your data into strategic assets that drive decision-making and business growth.

The concept of Dataceen centers on optimizing data consumption by shifting the focus of data management and
integration away from traditional systems. Here's a simplified explanation:

  • Lightening the Load: By transferring data from legacy systems into Dataceen, these older systems
    experience reduced strain, improving their performance and efficiency. When needed, go
    through Dataceen and fetch data from the master data system in real time,
    using Dataceen’s security mechanism to secure access.

  • Data Enrichment: Dataceen allows you to enhance your existing data
    with new, relevant information that might not fit within the constraints
    of traditional master data systems.

  • Integration Across Sources: Dataceen makes it easy to combine data from various
    sources, breaking down barriers and silos, and providing a comprehensive picture of
    your data landscape.

  • Unified Data Environment: Dataceen moves away from keeping data isolated in silos, promoting a more
    holistic and integrated approach to data management.

  • Flexible Control with Document Databases: The platform uses document databases tailored to your business model,
    which are managed by Dataceen but owned by your business. These databases provide greater flexibility as they can be located
    anywhere, provided they remain connected to the Dataceen system.
