For the past 20 years, we've had BI tools and we've talked about self-service, but there is still a wall that exists between data and the users who need it to make decisions. The core problem of self-service hasn't been addressed. BI tools have been designed around technical problems, not around people. The unmet promise of self-service analytics is not a problem of capability, it's one of design philosophy.

We believe that analytics should be designed around how humans think about data. A user should be able to explore, iterate, and experiment on their data without being concerned about the boundaries of the warehouse or running into the walls that exist around BI.

In this thoughtful presentation, we’ll demonstrate live, collaborative, human-centered data analytics, and novel ways to fully leverage the power of the modern data cloud.

Jon Avrach, Sr. Director, Solution Architecture & Evangelism, Sigma Computing
