Ernesto Ongaro shared thisSemantic layers. So many out there. What makes one good? Straight from a man who has built them for over a decade, Jamie Davidson https://lnkd.in/dQmR8F6jWhat makes a semantic layer good? - Omni AnalyticsWhat makes a semantic layer good? - Omni Analytics

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisGreat writeup by Osman Ghandour about using Omni for investment firmsErnesto Ongaro shared thisMost funds we work with have challenges related to portfolio reporting, pipeline analytics, and other use cases where BI tools could be helpful. We've spent a lot of time in the market and believe Omni is a great choice for today's investment firms. We wrote up why: what we compared, where the alternatives fell short, what we've actually built on it. It's the first piece on our refreshed site. Link below 👇

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisIt's great being early. Semantic layers are not new, but the interest in them is! But are they all built the same? No. Our team did some benchmarking to show you the areas where they really differ (token cost, accuracy and reliability). Read about it here: https://lnkd.in/eQz7EwSc

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisSo a few you of you reached out after my Omni Dashboard Builder demo and said what I made was a bit basic and not realistic...fine! Here's something a bit more surgical, Blobby nails it!

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisWell. Big day. The World Cup starts and at Omni we have released our ✨Dashboard Builder. Obviously we’ve had a regular point and click builder since day one, this is different. Describe what you want, and Omni builds it for you based on all the logic and permissions in your semantic layer. Then you review, refine, and publish when you're ready. Make that taller. Add a KPI. Change the chart type. Whatever you need. If you’ve ever built or maintained a dashboard by hand, this one is for you!

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisLa scaloneta ya llego! ⚽⚽ I watched Maradona lift the trophy in Mexico in 1986 and Messi in 2022. Back then we made our picks on pure faith and one very good number 10. This year you can do better. My colleague Peter Whitehead built Blobby's World Cup Bracket Challenge, a bracket app with live player stats, head-to-head records, and an AI agent you can interrogate before every pick. Make your picks with data instead of vibes: @ https://blobbyworldcup.com I'm still picking Argentina 🇦🇷 though. Some things aren't up for analysis. Quiero ver la cuarta ⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Ernesto Ongaro shared thisHey London peeps. Chris Merrick, Will Savage and myself will be attending, hope to see you there!Ernesto Ongaro shared thisI'm speaking at Anthropic’s Code with Claude event in London on May 20th. The session is on the agent harness we built for analytics: what we let Claude see, what we make it validate, and where Claude Code sped things up. If you're there, come find me. https://lnkd.in/eUhtjY9D

Ernesto Ongaro reposted thisHappy to be speaking at the upcoming Snowflake Stockholm User Group meetup ❄️📊 I’ll be sharing a few lessons from our work on finance and data challenges at 0TO9 | Bank of Entrepreneurship where finance and data meet in one place…and occasionally disagree 😄 We’ll look at how we’ve built reconciliation, P&L, and performance risk monitoring powered on Snowflake, dbt Labs and Omni and how “why don’t these numbers match?” is often less a spreadsheet issue and more a data platform story. Because every finance problem eventually turns into a data challenge 🚀 Looking forward to great conversations and meeting the Stockholm data community ❄️ Will also try to keep the spreadsheet jokes to a reasonable level… no promises 😄Ernesto Ongaro reposted this🚀 We’re excited to announce the next Snowflake Stockholm User Group meetup, this time focused on Finance & Data. ❄️🇸🇪 Join us for an evening exploring how organizations are leveraging Snowflake to modernize financial operations, improve trust in data, and accelerate decision-making in a highly regulated industry. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dybtMacK 🎤 Featured talks: 🎤 Transforming the Office of the CFO with Data & Technology by Matthew Jolliffe from Spaulding Ridge 🎤 From Transactions to Trust: P&L, Risk & Recon on Snowflake by Manish Ramrakhiani from 0TO9 | Bank of Entrepreneurship 💡 Whether you work in finance, analytics, governance, or enterprise architecture - this session is designed to deliver practical insights, modern data strategies, and great discussions with the Stockholm data community. Seats are limited, and we’d love to see a strong mix of finance and data professionals in the room. 👉 Join us and be part of the growing Snowflake community in Stockholm.

Randy Pitcher II 🌞 if you mean, should they be bundled with an interface to create dashboards, spreadsheets, MCP, Apps then yes, I agree. I don't go buy a car and expect to go buy the seats separately, they won't fit right.

Ernesto Ongaro liked thisErnesto Ongaro liked this"I really don't want to use your agent. I want to use my agent to use your thing." That's Ian Macomber, who leads data at Ramp, who wrote an incredible piece on the post-AI data stack. It's one of several stories Jason Ganz and I got into on the podcast this week. Beyond Ian's post, this episode covers the political fight over data centers (🌶️🌶️🌶️), updates on the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, and more. Jason and I are bringing our conversation to dbt Summit. If you’re there, check out our session, and come say hi. What do you want us to cover next? https://bit.ly/3UKNeKT #AnalyticsEngineering #AI #DataEngineering #Podcast

Ernesto Ongaro reacted on thisErnesto Ongaro reacted on thisHow do you actually make self-serve analytics work? 🤔 At 0TO9 | Bank of Entrepreneurship, we’ve been on a journey from data teams answering stakeholder questions to putting the answers directly in stakeholders’ hands. That shift involves much more than giving people access to dashboards and LLMs. It means laying a solid foundation, building trust in the data, establishing a strong semantic layer, exploring what MCPs and AI can unlock and, above all, making self-service simple enough that people actually want to use it. 🧠 I’m excited to unpack what that looks like together with Valentin Leister and Hjalmar Jensen at the Snowflake World Tour in Stockholm. 🚀 📍 Wednesday, 23 September · Stage 3 · 11:40 👉 Registration link in the comments 👇 Snowflake dbt Labs Omni #SnowflakeWorldTour

Ernesto Ongaro reacted on thisErnesto Ongaro reacted on thisWhat an amazing Data & AI Stockholm meetup we had yesterday together with Omni and Nextory! We kicked things off with a talk from Carl Niblaeus on how their data platform is structured, why the team works declaratively and generates code instead of writing it by hand, how these choices have shaped their approach to agentic analytics, and what challenges are still unsolved. Then came a hands-on workshop with our partner Omni; their team traveled all the way from Dublin just for this day to share more about what Omni does and pass on their knowledge to the community! Such a fantastic evening. Lovely to see some familiar faces, and just as great to meet new ones. Doing this during Nordic Tech Week made it even more special! Very, very happy with how it all came together! Thank you all for joining; it's always a pleasure to meet you! See you in a few weeks at the Summit (^_^) Peter Tjernström Mahan Haidari Jonas M.

Ernesto Ongaro reacted on thisErnesto Ongaro reacted on thisAfter a merger, me&u's analytics team inherited two ordering platforms, two data stacks, multiple definitions of revenue…and four BI tools 😅 Then Tom Imbert and his team selected Omni to make data easier to use across the combined business. A year after their 2️⃣ month migration, me&u shares how they: - doubled analytics usage to expand self-service across teams - grew AI-driven queries by 30x after connecting Claude via MCP - cut routine reporting work for the analytics team “The whole point of Omni is that whatever entry point people are most comfortable with, whether it’s a workbook, Blobby, or Claude, it’s the same governed model underneath. Same joins, definitions, and access controls.” — Tom Imbert, Director of Data & Analytics Read the case study to see how me&u built their AI foundation with Snowflake, Omni, Claude, & Shearwater Data 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g5XakpdU

Ernesto Ongaro reacted on thisErnesto Ongaro reacted on thisWe are looking for a Head of Product Marketing. This is the person who gets to tell us what company we are becoming. No pressure at all! The Synthesia story used to be relatively simple: type a script, get a great video. Now we have Studio, Interactive Avatars, Sessions Roleplay Agents, APIs, and quite a bit more on the way. The opportunity is getting much bigger. Explaining it simply is getting correspondingly harder, and this is what makes our Head of PMM role so interesting. This is not a “polish the launch deck” job. It is about finding the connective tissue across the portfolio, shaping a company-level narrative customers understand, helping Product make better decisions, and giving Sales teams language that works in the real world. You’ll lead a talented team of PMMs, work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales and Marketing, and help define the next chapter of Synthesia. If you are unusually good at turning complexity into clarity, or know someone who is, please reach out: https://lnkd.in/e_AFz5BJ
