Frequently Asked Questions
PowerMetrics is a self-serve metrics platform. It helps data teams unlock the value in their data by delivering metrics to business users with a metrics catalog and streamlined metric-centric analytics. With the ability to create native metrics from common file format and hundreds of data services and the integration with dbt Semantic Layer metrics, PowerMetrics is a hybrid metrics solution.
A metrics catalog lists and organizes a company's metrics. Providing access to certified metrics in a centralized location brings focus to key data points, improves data consistency, reduces data duplication, and ensures all metrics are meaningful. Governance is assured by granting access rights and permissions at the user level to determine who can view or edit each metric.
A well-defined metrics framework enables faster, more reliable decision making. The consistent structure of metrics allows for effective data monitoring over time. It also makes it easier to quickly see when there are changes in the data. Key members of the organization, through careful consideration, decide what each metric measures and how the data is processed. As a result, metrics represent deeply meaningful, well-understood information, based on agreed-upon standards and definitions. Read more about the value of metrics in decision making.
The simplest answer to this question is both! PowerMetrics enables everyone in the organization to work with central, trusted metrics, curated by the data team. Data teams will use PowerMetrics to integrate with the dbt Semantic Layer, define and connect custom and calculated metrics to data, and manage access/governance. Business users can access the catalog, visualize and explore data, set goals, and build their own dashboards and reports.
PowerMetrics uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Canada to store and manage customer information and processed data and AWS in Ireland to back up this data. Read our privacy statement for more details.
