Data Contracts 101

Cover image

Get my FREE white paper, Data Contracts 101!

It’s the perfect introduction to data contracts, what they are, and the problems they aim to solve.

Topics covered include:

  • The problems data contracts will solve
  • How to use data contracts to improve data quality at source
  • How to use data contracts for agreements between producers and consumers of data
  • Using data contracts to publish data through explicit interfaces
  • Why data contracts are a change in our approach to data

I found that highly accessible to a non-datapro non-tech audience. It lays out a progression of ideas very well. The metaphors aren’t forced. The language is convivial. It was clear what an interface enables and what to do about it, and why.

    Who am I?

    Andrew Jones Hi 👋 I’m Andrew.

    I’ve been working in the industry for 20 years, specialising in data platforms for the last 10 years.

    In 2021 I created data contracts, an architectural pattern that brings data teams closer to the business, drives team autonomy, and embeds quality and governance as part of the data platform.

    In 2023 I wrote the definite book on data contracts, which currently has an average rating of 4.7 stars on Amazon.

    I now bring that experience and expertise to dozens of other organisations, big and small, through my independent consulting practice.

    I’m based near London, UK, am a regular writer and public speaker, and have worked with organisations in the US, Europe, and Asia.
