I have really appreciated how Witboost gave operational concreteness to all the key concepts we have discussed at framework level in the preparation phase of our data & analytics initiative, especially "Data as a Product". In the implementation path, a tangible help we got from Withboost is the "first step forward" that enabled us to move from idea to execution. This is because we were in a phase when we got several "vision Powerpoint decks" about data mesh and domain ownership, from different consulting companies, but we were struggling to see the operational side behind them. While this phase proved to be crucial from a directional point of view, after a while we needed a platform that could translate those principles into repeatable delivery patterns, governance controls, and engineering workflows, to avoid to reinvent the wheel for every use case. Witboost helped us move our data platform to a level where domain teams could actually use it and scale it in autonomy, while keeping the coherence defined by our governance and data architecture teams. The coherence over federation was a key requirement for us, because we were building the data teams along with Data & Analytics platform & practice, so we had a continuous improvement of our policies and guidelines that Witboost helped to manage also for the change management aspects.

The platform requires a mid level of organizational and technical maturity to unlock its full value. It is not just a tool you install and immediately benefit from, without preparation. For some parts we were not fully ready with our governance policies and staffed with cloud and data engineers to fully understand the advantages Witboost could have provided to us.
