Enabling Citizen Data Analysts with No-Code Data Connectivity IT is bogged down with ad hoc requests for data access, and support ticket wait times are impeding organizations' ability to move with agility and compete in a fast-paced market. LOB users often know better than IT what their departments want and need from their data, but they require self-service connectivity tools to help them access and work with that data. Real-time data connectivity platforms are lowering the skill barriers to invite LOB teams to self-manage their department's data needs as citizen data analysts. Citizen data analysts build business intelligence reports in a similar approach to how citizen developers use low-code/no-code tools, empowering LOBs to access and analyze not only their own departmental data but also data from across the entire organization. Data initiatives no longer need to live behind the red tape of IT, and organizations can prioritize data literacy and allow LOBs to take ownership of more data management and preparation tasks. Real-time data connectivity tools like CData Connect Cloud simplify how data connects, establish guardrails for compliance and security, and accelerate data use in real-time.
