“At Wiiisdom, we’ve been at the forefront of BI governance for 15 years. With the dawn of Analytics Governance, we’re excited to pioneer this new space by leveraging our expertise across a multitude of analytics technologies. In today’s landscape of ever-increasing data, stringent regulations, and the surge of BI content driven by GenAI analytics, investing in analytics governance is a no-brainer. It ensures that organizations can trust their data and make informed decisions with confidence.”

At Wiiisdom, innovation is ingrained in our DNA. We constantly push boundaries and think outside the box to better serve our customers and lead our industry. Recently, we introduced a groundbreaking feature that dynamically and automatically certifies and decertifies BI & Analytics assets, including data sources, dashboards and Gen-BI Insights.

This step highlights our capacity to innovate and underscores the unique aspects of our solutions that set us apart in the industry.
