Why Datameer Spotlight?
Analytics on All Your Data
Your business intelligence or data science tool can now reach beyond your EDW and query the entire enterprise data landscape. Discover and access any data—on-premise, in the cloud, in data warehouses, data lakes, file systems, or applications — blend and create your own virtual data sets with a click of the mouse.
Self-Service & Analytics
Put the power of data integration and integrity into the hands of the business. Users can self-serve and create the data sets they need in minutes vs. the weeks or months required with a traditional data warehouse/ETL approach. There’s no data engineering involvement needed, pipeline script to write, or ETL job to schedule.
Advanced Search & Speed
Flip the 80-20 rule to 1% searching and prepping and 99% analyzing. Just type the name of the data or information asset you’re looking for, and our intelligent search will surface any relevant virtualized data source, data set, table, row, or column in seconds. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Save time by reusing the data sets that have been vetted by a coworker.
Governed Analytics Processes
Analytics teams can now govern their processes. They can curate data sets, enrich the data dictionary, define the metadata, build a business glossary, tag, comment, and classify data assets.
Trusted Data & Collaboration
Data and business teams can collaborate in a wiki-style fashion to manage the quality, trust, description, and usability of data sets. Every created virtualized data asset comes with data profiling and visual data lineage to let users understand how the data set was built and trust the process.
Cost Savings & Increased Bottom Lines
Deliver data and insights faster and at a fraction of the costs of the traditional data warehouse approach: no need for ETL tools, a central data warehouse, data marts, data cataloging, data prep tools, data engineering, or middle man between the data and the end-user.
