Let’s be honest: you’re tired. Tired of waiting days for answers buried in spreadsheets. Tired of IT teams muttering about “data transformation” and “ETL pipelines.” Tired of paying for BI tools that feel like piloting a spaceship just to get a bar chart. What if I told you the era of clunky, slow BI is over—and the age of answers has begun? The Pr...

It’s like trying to sell a gym membership to someone who’s already hired a personal trainer, booked five classes and bought the lycra. And yet, many still manage to dodge the treadmill. Why?
