KPMG Data festival
We live in a data-informed and insight-driven world, so if we can’t trust our metrics, we can’t trust our data. Today, with the explosion of how we consume data we’ve lost control of how and what metrics we use for analysis. In this session, you’ll learn how to take back control and why terms like “metrics layer,” “metrics store,” and “headless BI” are the buzzwords in analytics today.
WORKSHOP: Build Customer-Facing Analytics with Headless BI
Building advanced customer-facing analytics products comes with several challenges. In this hands-on workshop, learn the fundamental concepts of headless BI and how you can start building your next generation of customer-facing analytics products.
