The time between asking questions of your data and getting answers used to create a massive bottleneck for businesses. Those days are gone. Now anyone can search and find insights hidden in their company data in seconds.

Across all the companies we work with, the typical pipeline looks like this. It might look painfully familiar to you.
You probably have data scattered in tables across dozens of data sources which your data teams must extract and put through a complicated ETL process to simplify the data model.
Then the data needs to be moved into a data warehouse or data lake for centralized storage. In order to get around performance issues, you have to segment data into data marts, and then summarize data even further into cubes and views.
And we haven’t even touched on the skill required to create dashboards – which given the complexity of today’s analytics products takes days and requires highly skilled data analysts to use. Even if you make it all the way through this nasty pipeline, that dreaded “next question” from the business person often sends you back to square one.
