“Modern approaches to data modeling expedite time to insight by eschewing a few costly steps previously required for analytics. They’re also far more flexible for arranging schema, and even involve automated detection of schema for optimal celerity. Additionally, the downstream effects of these advantages reduce the time spent recalibrating schema after sources or business requirements change.
The artful combination of automation and agility enables organizations to spend less time modeling data, and more time analyzing data for informed action.”
