DataSelf Now
The Power of DataSelf — A Faster Way to Get Started
For years, DataSelf has helped organizations turn business data into trusted information for reporting, analytics, and AI. DataSelf Now brings that same proven approach into a streamlined, ready-to-deploy cloud platform—making powerful data warehousing and analytics faster, easier, and more affordable to implement.
Unlike DataSelf Analytics, our enterprise platform designed for large data volumes, complex requirements, and highly customized environments, DataSelf Now is standardized and preconfigured for faster deployment and simpler ongoing management. DataSelf Analytics harnesses the power and scalability of Microsoft SQL Server data warehousing and supports flexible architectures—including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments.
DataSelf Now brings together automated data extraction, historical data, a managed data warehouse, reporting-ready data models, prebuilt KPIs, customizable dashboards, and tightly integrated AI capabilities—all in one cloud environment.
Create your dedicated DataSelf Now site in minutes, connect your systems, and begin loading data—without having to design and build an analytics environment from scratch.
From Business Data to Trusted Insights
Business applications process transactions; they don’t make reporting and analysis easy. Their data is distributed across multiple tables, fields, and APIs that require specialized knowledge.
DataSelf Now does the hard work for you. It:
| Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | Connect | Connects securely to your source systems. |
| Step 2 | Extract | Extracts current and historical data. |
| Step 3 | Organize | Organizes the data in a reporting-ready data warehouse. |
| Step 4 | Model | Adds business-friendly definitions, data models, and prebuilt KPIs. |
| Step 5 | Analyze | Provides reports and dashboards, with connections to AI and other analytics tools. |
| Step 6 | Refresh | Refresh the data warehouse and reports on a schedule. |
Full AI, Selective AI, or No AI—Your Choice
With DataSelf Now, you decide how and where AI is used. Enable full AI, selected AI features, or disable AI entirely. You remain in control of your data, who accesses it, and how.
AI Empowerment
You can choose from:
AI for Data Analysis
AI can answer questions, explain results, and create analyses.
For example: “Build a dashboard showing sales by customer and product.”
AI for Metadata and Business Definitions
AI can analyze metadata (table and field descriptions, relationships, calculations, KPIs) without accessing transaction-level data.
For example: “How is gross profit calculated?”
Agentic AI for Data Warehousing and BI
AI can perform authorized changes within the DataSelf environment.
For example: “Add my new customer-category optional field.”
“Update this dashboard and publish the new version.”
