Our industry has been on a 30-year march to self-service analytics. The road has been long and dusty with the destination nowhere in sight. Now, two new technologies, along with some hard-won knowledge about how to do data & analytics right, move the promise of self-service analytics from a distant mirage to a real possibility for most organizations. This session will explore the rise of data products, data fabric, and generative AI and how these new technologies and approaches are changing the nature of how business users consume data & analytics.
