Problem
Data silos and inconsistent business definitions across various business intelligence (BI) tools lead to fragmented analytics workflows and a lack of a single source of truth. This results in duplicated data modeling efforts, increased analytics downtime, and difficulties in ensuring consistent insights for informed business decisions.
Solution
Cube offers a universal semantic layer that sits between data sources and data consumers, providing a centralized platform for data modeling, access control, caching, and API integration. It unifies fragmented business definitions by consolidating data modeling workflows, ensuring consistent metrics across all BI platforms and data endpoints. Cube enables centralized enforcement of fine-grained governance and security policies, granting row and column-level permissions and masking sensitive data upstream. Its caching layer optimizes query performance and reduces cloud costs, while its AI, GraphQL, MDX, REST, and SQL APIs facilitate integration with any endpoint, delivering trusted data to front-end applications and AI agents.
Target Audience
Cube is designed for data engineers and application developers who need to organize data from cloud data warehouses into centralized, consistent definitions and deliver it to various downstream tools.
