Fivetran Data democratization explained
Data democratization empowers employees at all levels to make decisions with data, enabling agility against fast-changing markets and competition. It requires centralizing data into a single source of truth to eliminate silos, supported by a hub-and-spoke model where a core analytics team guides specialized departmental analysts. Governance is essential, with three pillars: knowing your data through cataloging and lineage, protecting it with role-based access, encryption, and PII detection, and scaling it through APIs for programmatic management. Without these, organizations face tradeoffs between access and compliance that hinder agility.
