Self-serve analytics

Don’t gatekeep your data

Allow non-technical users to tap into your metrics. They’ll be empowered to confidently answer their own questions based on the governed semantic building blocks you’ve created.

They get the insights they need, and you can ensure the quality and governance posture of that data without ever fielding an ad hoc request. It’s a win/win.
