Data Commercialization: Your Guide To Taking Data To Market
In uncertain times, companies seek external data to provide richer insights into their customers and operations. That growing demand for external data also provides an opportunity. Do I have data that others could use as well? Yet taking data to market-and deriving revenue from it-remains daunting. This session will draw from the experiences of companies who have successfully commercialized their data by offering data as an incremental service to existing customers or selling new data products. Participants will understand the opportunities and challenges of the data economy; discover how innovative business leaders have launched data products and services; and learn how to identify use cases, develop offers, determine pricing models and take data to market, including a short demo of how to list products on Snowflake Marketplace.
