Schemabook is focused on three things:
- A schema registry (beyond just events)
- Data Contracts (both emerging standards)
- Stakeholder collaboration
Schemabook’s philosophy is simple. When stakeholders collaborate on the definition of data, quality improves, and data becomes more actionable.
Schemabook promises to make all of your organization’s stakeholders feel confident that the data is usable.
Schemabook’s ultimate goal is to make data more actionable. While building a central component of the data platform at a Fortune 100 company, Schemabook’s founder noticed that a lot of effort and cost went into collecting data that the business could not immediately act on. The data was collected and possibly even transformed but either just sat in a lake occupying space or required additional institutional knowledge to be useful. The issue was not related to the technologies used, nor the architecture. It was a people and process problem. Not all of the stakeholders were on the same page. Many times they didn’t know each other or weren’t even aware of each other.
How can data producers confidently deliver data that consumers need to perform their responsibilities? How can consumers make requests of the producers when they can’t identify them? The outcome everyone is looking for is grounded in stakeholders collaborating. Schemabook is a data stakeholder collaboration product.
Schemabook revolves around the idea of declared schemas, but it’s not just a central schema registry. It helps stakeholders stay on the same page and provides a space for data contracts to be defined and shared. It offers tooling for engineering teams to ensure the quality of the data they produce and consume. Stakeholders can easily identify themselves without a burdensome process, and changes to data can be discussed and prepared ahead of time, preventing downtime and data loss.
If your stakeholders don’t know one another or are not collaborating on defining the data needed to accelerate your business, please give Schemabook a try. Don’t just dump data in a lake or warehouse without knowing its purpose. We believe our lightweight approach can help you turn the page on the story of data in your organization.
Schemabook aims to make data more actionable by addressing the lack of collaboration among stakeholders in data management. The founder of Schemabook observed that despite efforts to collect and transform data at a Fortune 100 company, the data often went unused due to a lack of communication and shared understanding among stakeholders. This issue was not due to technological limitations, but rather a disconnect in processes and communication.
To address this challenge, Schemabook offers a platform for stakeholders to declare schemas and define data contracts, fostering collaboration and ensuring that data producers deliver the information that consumers need. By providing tools for engineering teams to maintain data quality and facilitating discussions around changes to data, Schemabook eliminates the risk of downtime and data loss.
If your organization struggles with disconnected stakeholders and inefficient data management processes, consider giving Schemabook a try. Rather than simply storing data in a repository without purpose, Schemabook offers a solution to streamline data management and drive business growth. Take the first step towards improved collaboration and data utilization with Schemabook’s innovative approach.
