Customer Pain Points

Business and departmental users often don’t have direct access to

raw enterprise data

enterprise data which they need to explore and visualize

Power users and analysts can’t merge and manipulate data from

different sources without depending on IT

These issues create bottlenecks which impede analysis required by

the business
