I wanted to touch on because we're talking

Juan: So, you're saying that we should stop saving data at an aggregate level. We should always have it at the granular level and then be able to go aggregate it later.
Cindi:
Yes, and I'm going to challenge this and aggregate later. I don't want you building cubes. That's a legacy technology and yet, that's the skillset that a lot of people know and feel comfortable with.
a little bit about technology here and something we had a discussion about is low-code and no-code. And I think we probably have different perspectives here.
How do you see this whole world of low-code and no-code when it comes to analytics and analysts and people trying to go answer their questions?
Cindi:
Well, I mean, let's be honest. ThoughtSpot is a low-code, no-code although, if you really want to code, there are certain windows that you can write SQL in, if that's what you want to do, or if you want to code in Python or R and surface that, you can. But, let's just say we're in the category of low-code, no-code for people. We generate the SQL for you.
I also look at platforms, let's go broader. Let's look at platforms like DataRobot and DataIQ. I mean, this is no-code machine learning as well. Our SpotIQ engine also generates insights running the algorithms for you. And you never see what that code is.
And some of the work like with OpenAI I think is quite interesting here as well. So, I think of low-code in terms of some of the development platforms. And then I think of it in terms of the belgium whatsapp number data analytics platforms. And I think this low-code approach is enabling insights for the non-analysts. And then, I think this approach is also what will ultimately drive some of the ecosystem integration so that you really can go from data ingestion to data storage, to your analytics, to then your predictive. And you're able to assemble these applications together without coding or low coding. Change this line in this script and that's it.
Tim: So, it sounds like, for the most part, you're pretty positive about low-code, no-code, and obviously it influences y'all's product and others. Is that kind of a right way to constitute it?
Cindi:
Yes. Why would I be negative? Are we worried about it or I think I spoke at VentureBeat and said, "Is this the death of IT?" And asked Tom Davenport that question. And I think it accelerates IT development. There needs to be a governance model in place, though. Are you nervous about it?
