Recently, our engineering team undertook an extensive load testing effort to proactively find & fix scalability issues before they impact customers.

The dbt <> BI workflow is broken.
Switch to #dbt → build/test/document your model → check it into version control → build → deploy. Doing this for every data set doesn’t scale. There's a better way.

Omni was founded on the premise that we don't need to invent a new language to build a great business intelligence tool.
We already have all the coding languages we need.

There have only ever been two languages for data, SQL and Excel. Finally both together without compromising each other.
Introducing Calculations 🥳
Instead of trying to compete with Excel or Sheets, we made Calculations feel as much like a spreadsheet as possible.
Familiar experience 🤝 governed BI
