What is referred to as a Data Product in the SAP Insight App context?

In the context of SAP Insight Apps, a Data Product refers to replicated and prepared business data. This type of data is specifically formatted, cleaned, and structured to be suitable for analysis and reporting. The preparation process ensures that the data is reliable and relevant, allowing users to derive insights effectively.

By focusing on replicated and prepared business data, the Insight Apps provide a streamlined and efficient way to access important information without the complexities of underlying raw data management. The handling of data in this manner enhances usability and speeds up the decision-making process, as users can interact with data that is already aligned with business needs and analytical objectives.

In contrast, raw business data lacks the necessary preparation and may require significant effort to clean and analyze, while data models created in Foundation Services involve the structuring of data rather than its direct usage in business insights. Generated dashboards, while visually representing data, do not constitute data products themselves; they are tools for visualization built upon data products. Therefore, the focus on replicated and prepared business data makes it the appropriate designation as a Data Product in the SAP Insight App framework.
