It is a common adage that 80% of your time on data projects is spent on finding and preparing the data you need. And as the enterprise data landscape grows ever larger and more complex, data discovery and access could become even more of a burden. As a data consumer, you are reliant on IT or data engineering departments to provide you with the data you need.
But what if it didn't need to be that way? What if you were empowered to search, discover, and access the data you need independently and proactively?
From finding the data you need to understanding its structure and meaning to establishing who owns or governs access to the data, data access delays data projects and prevents agility and experimentation. Radically accelerate data access with Contiamo.
IT departments in many organizations act as the gatekeepers for the company's most valuable asset - its data. Overwhelmed with requests for data, they become the bottleneck for data access, preparation, and delivery. Access and prepare data proactively with Contiamo.
Understanding what data exists, what documentation exists, and where it resides is far from transparent. Even once you gain access to data, the lack of information can slow you down and limit the value or validity of your insights. Get all the info you need in one place.
Whether you want to export data to a CSV or consume real-time data in platforms of your choice, legacy or distributed systems can make this challenging, if not impossible. Prepare custom data sets, before extracting or consuming the data in the format or tool of your choice.
The lack of fast data access is hindering progress towards agility and experimentation with data. Projects are being delayed, abandoned, or proceed without the full array of relevant data. Contiamo provides a seamless, transparent access request process allowing you to get access to the data you need in seconds.
Contiamo's enterprise data catalog comes equipped with easy mechanisms to find out who owns or stewards specific data sets. In just a few clicks, they can provide you with full access to the data or provision custom or granular access with rows or columns filtered or masked, depending on the data set sensitivity.
IT departments are overwhelmed with data requests and infrastructure projects. However, in many organizations they have become the sole gatekeeper for data access. This bottleneck is a frustration for data consumers, such as data scientists and BI analysts. Contiamo empowers you to independently curate data sets for use in your analysis.
With a simple SQL workbench, you can access and combine data from across your distributed data landscape. Build rich, custom data sets without any data movement or replication, ensuring that the accessed data is always real-time. As your requirements change, make adjustments to the custom data with a line or two of SQL.
Information on your data landscape is stored in departmental wikis, a range of different systems, and often just in a data expert or owner's head. This trapped knowledge causes friction when accessing and understanding data. An enterprise data catalog centralizes this information for easy data discovery.
With intuitive and powerful search capabilities, you can search for and within all your data resources. Custom filters, set up to suit your organizational structure and nuances, allow you to narrow your search and find the data you need in seconds. Once found, you can validate the data against your requirements, find documentation, and request access in seconds.
Legacy systems and restrictions on the number of licenses for data-generating software can make extracting the data you need for analysis near-impossible. With Contiamo, all your systems can be virtually integrated, making real-time data extraction easy and fast. Previously inaccessible data can be flexibly consumed in any format or tool.
Combine data from across legacy, modern, or distributed systems to build rich, custom data sets. These data sets can be accessed an explored in Contiamo's SQL workbench, downloaded as CSV or XLXS files, or queried directly from BI or operational platforms of your choice, such as Tableau, Power BI, or GraphQL.
