Data warehouses were introduced to offer one integrated view of all the enterprise data spread across numerous isolated transactional systems. Now, organizations are struggling with a myriad of new data architectures that also try to offer some integrated view of the data to all business users and data scientists, such as data lakes, data hubs, data lakehouses.For business users, this is far from ideal. If they need data where should they get it from and how to integrate it? Especially now, that organizations want to become more data-driven, frictionless access to data is crucial.A popular...
