Overview
I created the product vision to rethink the onboarding experience, providing a centralized approach for data integration, allowing users to connect with all of their external data in one unified product.
During this project, I led the research effort to identify the experience gap and facilitated cross-team collaborations to affect the product roadmap of 2025-2026.
The key challenge of the current data integration experience is that users don't know which product to use for data integration.
While Splunk provides multiple products for users to connect and access their external data, what they really need is a cohesive ecosystem to manage all the data without having to pick a specific one.
The current model of data integration needs to be changed. Splunk needs to shift strategy from product based approach to use case driven approach.
The product vision showcases the use case driven approach to centralize data integration in one unified product.
