Shared measures for the different ways your team explores data.

When Omni fits
Cloud Data Consulting uses Omni to give business and technical users ways to explore a shared data model. We help define the measures, build reporting and prepare users to work with the results.
A useful starting point: Your team needs self-service exploration without rebuilding business definitions in every workbook or dashboard.
What Cloud Data implements
Connections and access
Configure warehouse connections and approved roles, then test which data different users should be able to see.
Shared models and measures
Map source and dbt models into business-friendly fields, joins and metrics, with review by the people who own the definitions.
Dashboards and exploration
Build reporting and drill-through paths around recurring decisions, then test the experience with the people who will use it.
Adoption and extended use
Train users and model maintainers. Scope embedded analytics separately where customer-facing access is part of the requirement.
Decisions to make together
- The model remains a business decision
- A semantic layer helps reuse agreed definitions. It still needs owners for joins, calculations and changes to business rules.
- Access and workload
- Confirm permissions through the configured warehouse connection and test performance against realistic dashboards and user activity.
- Self-service and support
- Agree which questions the model covers, how users learn to explore it and where requests outside that scope go.
In practice
