The DPP is yet another requirement that is going to cost us a huge amount of effort, governance, and money to create structures and generate data. Can that be made easier somehow?

Most companies we have experience with have way more relevant data than they are aware of. This is mostly due to silos within the organization not knowing each other's processes, flows, datasets. This is often discovered when a company starts implementing PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)capabilities, which by nature are cross-functional, departmental in nature. So, DPP is less about creating more data; it is more about dealing with already existing data, enriching it where needed, and making it available to relevant audiences.
