Details

In the era of data-driven decision-making, organizations are under increasing pressure to empower business users with self-service analytics while maintaining strict data governance and compliance. Striking the right balance between data democratization and governance is critical, but not without challenges. This session explores how semantic layers serve as the cornerstone of modern enterprise data strategies, enabling organizations to adopt a hub-and-spoke governance model.

The hub-and-spoke approach combines centralized governance of critical data with decentralized innovation at the business unit level. By implementing a semantic layer, enterprises create a shared, business-friendly abstraction of complex data, providing consistent definitions, robust security, and real-time accessibility. This ensures a single source of truth across analytics tools and teams, fostering both agility and control.

Takeaways:

  • A clear understanding of how semantic layers simplify complex data governance.
  • Practical strategies to enable decentralized innovation without losing central control.
  • Real-world case studies showcasing the business impact of semantic layer implementations.

Gain actionable insights into leveraging semantic layers to address governance challenges, accelerate insights, and foster a collaborative, data-driven culture! Join us to explore how the intersection of governance, semantic layers, and the hub-and-spoke model can transform your enterprise data strategy.
