What IDS means by self-service analytics
Self-service without governance is just ungoverned chaos
Giving business users access to raw data without a semantic layer, naming standards, or access controls creates more conflicting numbers, not fewer. IDS builds self-service environments where users can explore freely — but within a governed structure that keeps everyone looking at the same truth.
- Semantic layer
Business-friendly metrics, KPIs and dimensions — defined once, used everywhere, maintained centrally. - Governed access
Role-based access to the right data, with row-level security and data classification applied consistently. - User training
Business user enablement programs — so the environment actually gets used, not abandoned after go-live.

The BI problem — why it keeps happening
Reports take weeks and are outdated on arrival
Manual reporting cycles, no self-service layer, and a BI team buried in ad-hoc requests instead of building value.
Platform migrations lose functionality and business trust
Moving from OBIEE or Cognos to Power BI without the right methodology means reports that look different, feel broken, and get abandoned.
Self-service creates more confusion than insight
Without a governed semantic layer, users build conflicting reports — and nobody trusts the numbers.
