What Is a Semantic Layer?

Description

A semantic layer — a crucial yet often overlooked part of every business intelligence platform — is an intangible concept with tangible components that resolve the following pain points of managing data and analytics.

• Static dashboards that do not allow business end users to flexibly query the underlying data and, therefore, perform data and insight exploration
• Data and analytics that do not scale to the user base as smoothly as the company needs
• Resources and time that are wasted on duplicated communication and ensuring data veracity

This e-book will explore these points as well as how semantic layers can be beneficial for companies and end users.
