More businesses want to provide staff with self-service BI tools they can all use, without needing IT help or technical knowledge. This helps drive a data-driven culture across the organization, open up access to data to more people, and unlock actionable insights.

Self-service analytics, also known as self-service business intelligence (BI), is an ideal solution to open up the process of accessing, analyzing and sharing data to both non-technical users (customers, staff) and data experts (IT, developers, analysts) alike.
