Single Pane of Glass Reporting - Refreshing Recap - WK5

The concept of the "Single Pane of Glass" for reporting is not actually about reporting itself but rather about creating a unified Semantic Data Layer that provides access to all Business Data Models. Standardised tools for accessing and managing these data models are essential. One of the main challenges is moving away from the idea that each report comes from a different model. The more data models an organisation uses, the harder it is to create a single, unified view.

While some data may not be included in a shared data model, it's important to prioritise inclusion rather than separation when making decisions. This approach will help keep your organisation moving in the right direction.
