FEATURED SPEAKERS

Join this webinar (preso & demo) featuring analyst Andrew Brust, to learn how semantic layers and metrics stores enable the data mesh approach to analytics and imbue it with a mechanism for robust governance and proper federation across the enterprise. 

You’ll also see how semantic layers are consistent with the concept of dimensional models, which have been critical to analytics since the very early days of BI. Tune in to learn how to create a single source for enterprise metrics, analysis dimensions, and model features — enabling business unit autonomy, with central coordination and consistency across use cases.
