Your organization invested heavily in a data warehouse, yet business users still wait days for answers to simple questions.

But teams on the pricing model learn the reality 6 months in. If you’re on the MAR model this is a must watch (before you get your next bill spike). Dan Murphy explains why MAR mechanics are designed to break.
