Session abstract

No matter where the data comes from (data warehouse, data lake, spreadsheets or any other data source), showing it in the right way is crucial for all organizations – as they strive for insights as a basis for actions.

Wrong decisions during the “last mile” can ruin all the efforts done in the steps before.
