Common frustrations
A semantic layer comes first
Business logic, joins, metrics, and calculations typically need to be modeled and governed to support consistent enterprise analytics.
Designed for dedicated data teams
It's not just for ecommerce, and it's a flexible platform that can be used in a variety of industries from retail to finance to healthcare to telecommunications.
Built for every industry
From retail and finance to healthcare and telecom, it's designed as a flexible platform, not specifically for ecommerce.
Strong focus on embedded analytics
One of the key applications is to integrate analytics within an end-to-end customer-facing application, even if you are just looking to help your internal team with decision-making.
Enterprise implementation and pricing
Deployment, onboarding, and pricing are designed for enterprise organizations and longer-term analytics deployments.
