TREATING DATA AS A PRODUCT
Omio (formerly GoEuro) is Europe’s leading online travel platform for booking
the fastest, cheapest and easiest journeys via train, bus and plane.
Option 3: Multiple ‘federated’ data teams
There are times when one data team just isn’t enough. As a company scales
and data volumes increase, it can be necessary to divide and conquer data
responsibilities to keep up with business demands.
At Omio, there is not just one data team, but three, divided by discipline.
Firstly, there is a large data engineering team that provides a central source
of business intelligence. Secondly, a smaller data team that supports
marketing, and finally a team dedicated to data science and insights – one of
the primary consumers of data provided by the data engineering team.
