Solution 03

Expand Data Access Without Losing Control.

Give authorized users access to trusted datasets, shared definitions, reusable models, and analytical tools within a governed environment.

Business users exploring trusted datasets within a governed self-service environment

Decision context

Bring the right context to the conversation.

Wider analytics access is valuable when it stays connected to governed definitions and controls. Governed Self-Service Analytics lets business users explore trusted data while centralized definitions, access, and governance remain in place.

01Trusted, analysis-ready datasets
02Reusable shared semantic models
03Controlled, role-based access

Common challenges

Move beyond fragmented reporting and incomplete context.

  • 01

    Self-service can drift from governed definitions and controls

  • 02

    Business users struggle to find relevant, trusted data

  • 03

    Similar measures are represented differently by each team

Typical data sources

Information that can shape the decision view.

  • Approved source systems and transformation processes
  • Governed datasets and semantic models
  • Catalog metadata and ownership context

What teams can work with

Decision-ready outputs for the people closest to the work.

  • Data and analytics leaders

Implementation approach

Build around a practical decision journey.

Every implementation should reflect the existing information environment and the people who need to use it.

  1. 01

    Trusted datasets

    Prepare analysis-ready datasets from approved sources and transformation processes.

  2. 02

    Shared semantic models

    Reuse consistent business concepts across teams and analytical outputs.

  3. 03

    Controlled access

    Apply permissions and policies according to roles, groups, and data sensitivity.

Questions

Explore the fit for your organization.

These answers explain the positioning of this solution without replacing a conversation about your needs.

Does self-service reduce governance?+

No. Access expands while shared definitions, permissions, and governance remain centralized.

How do users find the right data?+

Catalog metadata, ownership, and context help users discover relevant, trusted assets.

Can teams reuse existing models?+

Reusable semantic models let teams work from consistent business concepts instead of rebuilding logic.
