Create governed, reusable data products with stable data interfaces that unify data across systems—so teams can discover, access, and act on trusted data without moving it.

Business-entity–centric packaging (Customer360, Billing, etc.)

- Reusable, discoverable assets in the data catalog 
- Clear ownership & lifecycle management 
- Multi-source composition (external + ServiceNow + derived) 
- Interface-driven access (no direct table coupling)

**Catalog-First Authoring Experience**

- Discover and onboard data assets through Data Catalog  
- Create Data Interfaces and Data Products directly from catalog assets  
- Improve reuse and reduce duplication of data efforts  
- Schema mappings and transformations during authoring (coming soon)  

**Data Interfaces (Stable Data Contracts)**

- Define durable, schema-based interfaces for consistent data access  
- Support multi-source composition (e.g., unions, joins via DBViews) 
- Provide a consistent access layer for analytics, workflows, and AI  
- Late binding to underlying sources with backward-compatible schema evolution (coming soon)  

**Data Products (Governed Data Assets)**

- Create reusable, business-aligned data entities built on Data Interfaces  
- Package, govern, and manage data with ownership, lifecycle, and metadata  
- Enable discovery and consumption via Data Catalog

**Governance and Access Control**

- Integrate with ServiceNow ACL and role-based access control  
- Enable controlled, request-based access via catalog workflows  
- Ensure governed exposure of underlying data assets  

**Zero-Copy Data Access**

- Access external data in place without replication using federated queries  
- Support sources such as Snowflake, Databricks, and native ServiceNow data  
- Optimize performance through pushdown query execution 
- Enable near-real-time data access
