« It is a capital mistake to theorize before

one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist

facts to suit theories, instead of theories to

suit facts »

Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle, 1891

Where can I find data?

Who can help me extract

insights from

my data?What are the tools /

solutions I

can reuse?How do I

manage the

data I have?

What data can I find in

my own DG?

The Data Ecosystem is a system of

interconnected human and technological

resources, working together to extract value

from data and to use it for decision-making.

Why

A corporate enabler:

Avoid duplication

of effort by providing

a pre-configured

and customisable

technology stack

Economies of scale,

resource pooling

Offer analytics as a

service to close the

maturity gap among

different DGs and services

Deliverable of the Data

Action Plan agreed at

the IMSB level

Avoid procurement

efforts, usage of the

cloud FC

Leveraging on the

strengths of cloud

technology and of

linking data from

different sources

The EC Data Platform is a set of

services aiming at unlocking the

full potential of data: from

providing an easy way to find and

access data to enabling advanced analytics to extract insights.
