Data marketplace for corporate organisations

Large organisations rarely have too little data. What's missing is a place where you can see what exists and who's allowed to use it. For that, Your Tech Club designed and built a white-label data marketplace: one entry point where datasets can be found and access can be requested.

What needed to improve?

Information was spread across platforms and storage locations, with no shared index. Staff didn't know what existed, hunted for who had what, and redid work that had already been done elsewhere. Access ran through separate permissions per system, so no one had a central view of who could access what.

One entry point, not another system

The answer wasn't another place to store data, but one entry point above it all: an overview of what exists, with a fixed route to get access. Because the platform is white label, it runs under the name and brand identity of the organisation using it.

What did we build?

A secure environment where users see which datasets exist, request access and view data without leaving the environment. Each request goes through an approval step, so there's a record of who got access and why.

Designed on research

The request process is based on UX research and interviews with corporates, not on assumptions. That research decided which steps are really needed and which could go.

Built by twelve specialists

A React front end on a .NET back end, built by a team of twelve specialists. The focus was on security, scalability and connecting a wide range of data sources.

What has it achieved?

One place for indexing, access management and data visualisation. Who can access what is visible centrally instead of scattered across systems. That way, data that already existed becomes genuinely usable.
