Centralize metric logic once
Without a semantic layer, each dashboard team re-implements business rules. This causes duplicate logic, conflicting KPI values, and low trust in BI outputs.
Decouple business metrics from tool choice
A semantic model allows multiple BI tools and AI assistants to consume the same governed metric definitions. This protects consistency as tooling evolves.
- Canonical KPI definitions with owner and version
- Role-based access and domain scoping
- Lineage from source to metric consumption
Scale analytics with fewer governance bottlenecks
When definitions are centralized, BI teams spend less time reconciling numbers and more time delivering insights. Governance becomes faster because controls are reusable.
The semantic layer is the foundation for trusted self-service analytics.
