Decentralizing Data Access at Galp – The role of Dremio in Driving A Data Mesh Paradigm
Galp data strategy is built upon the pillar of democratizing data access and analytics, promoting decentralization when it comes to data product development. As the democratization of data access continues to grow, and data becomes a central component of our business operations, more functional teams are involved in data and analytics management with the aim of simplifying and expediting decision-making processes. From the beginning, Galp’s strategy has implemented around the adoption of a decentralized data architecture, where the Ulysses platform (Galp Enterprise Data Hub) serves as the central piece managed by our data engineering team, but with analytics and data science teams distributed across various business areas.
Dremio supports our entire strategy concerning self-service data exploration and analytics, allowing access to our hub’s data and federating other data sources, all in a performant, secure, and governed manner. We anticipate an increase in the organization’s data literacy, and in the near future, we hope to move towards data mesh concepts, with Dremio being one of the components that will enable us to accelerate the adoption of this organizational data paradigm.
