The PLATO Data Acquisition and Analysis System (PDAAS), a key component of PLATO, will provide ground support for the acquisition, validation, calibration, and analysis of the PLATO observations. Here we present an updated summary of the PDAAS Assessment Study, including a description of the PLATO data products. The final data product is a list of confirmed planetary systems, which will be fully characterized by combining information from the planetary transits, the seismology of the planet-host stars, and the follow-up observations. The PDAAS includes the PLATO Data Centre (PDC), which will be responsible for producing and validating the science-ready calibrated light curves and centroid curves, as well as all the high-level scientific data products and the ancillary data. The PDC is led by Germany with significant contributions from France and the UK, among others.
