At Deck, We Believe Data Is to Business What Water Is to Life – Vital and Indispensable

Now, with Deck, we’re approaching things differently. Instead of carving our space in a crowded market, we’re here to do what’s not being done. So what’s that exactly?

If you’ve followed the rise of Open Banking, then you know two things. One, access to user-permissioned financial data has changed the game by enabling so many established institutions and up-and-coming challengers to do things differently. Two, the Open Banking wave has reached its apex, but Open Data will come in many waves.

Not just any data will do. Advances like ChatGPT have made public information universally accessible, and let’s be frank, that leaves little room for differentiation. When’s the last time you’ve not encountered fake personalization, or generic reporting, or… you get the point. The future we believe in is powered by user-permissioned data: User consent basically acts as a gatekeeping mechanism allowing only certain businesses to gain unique insights and build powerful, differentiated solutions.

Next on the horizon: utility data. Access to utility data - including energy, water, fuel, and waste - will be at the centre of every business’ ability to manage these critical resources effectively, 
and is essential to power use-cases like energy management and billing automation. In short, 
if you want to differentiate through data, you’ll need utility and other types of user-permissioned data. Deck will be the infrastructure giving you access.

Our experience with Flinks taught us the immense potential of user - permissioned data. 
Timing is everything: Right now, Deck is positioned to lead the next wave - utility data - from the start. And then the wave after that. And the wave after that one, too. Hit us up if you’re curious. So there you have it, the big gap, the exciting punchline, the reason - dare we say - to care: There is no single trusted source for all of businesses’ user - permissioned data needs, and we’re building Deck to address that. This will be anything but boring. (Told you!)
