The players
Domo
A cloud-based platform provider focusing on business intelligence, data integration, and embedded analytics.
Progress Software
A developer of application development, infrastructure, and data management software that recently acquired Domo.
Snowflake
A data warehousing and analytics company providing cloud-native infrastructure for data storage and processing.
The details
The Magic ETL—a drag-and-drop tool for preparing data—has been redesigned to include heatmaps that surface jobs experiencing specific runtime effects. New AI tiles automatically perform sentiment analysis and data classification, while the platform now supports Snowflake Semantic Views, which allow the system to interpret data models defined in Snowflake, a cloud-based data platform. These additions aim to simplify the process of fixing and monitoring data pipelines by moving AI functions directly into the workspace.
