Let your team answer their own data questions.
Every ad-hoc report request that goes through IT takes 1\u20132 weeks. By the time the report arrives, the question has changed. Self-service reporting gives your team direct access to governed data models so they can build reports, explore data, and answer questions themselves \u2014 without waiting, and without creating conflicting numbers.
