At a Glance
Our client, a global digital information provider, partnered with our team to improve data accessibility and self-service analytics across their organization. With growing demand from content, marketing, and analytics teams, the company needed a simplified way for non-technical users to access insights directly from their Amazon Redshift data warehouse without relying on SQL or BI dashboards.
Challenge
Limited analytics accessibility for non-technical business teams
Although the organization had a strong Redshift data warehouse, business teams still relied heavily on analysts for day-to-day reporting. Limited SQL skills restricted true self-service analytics, slowing down routine insight requests across marketing, content, and analytics functions. The absence of a semantic layer also meant the system couldn't interpret business-specific terms, KPIs, or domain language.
To overcome these challenges, the organization needed an AI-driven, natural-language analytics solution that improved accessibility without rebuilding dashboards while ensuring accuracy, scalability, and alignment with real business needs.
Solution
Implementing Amazon Quick Sight Q with a business-aware semantic layer
Our team delivered a structured proof-of-concept to operationalize natural-language analytics on Redshift.
- Implemented Natural-Language Querying on Redshift: Enabled Amazon QuickSight Q to interpret business questions and generate insights without SQL, dashboards, or BI training.
- Designed and Configured a Domain-Specific Semantic Layer: Reviewed Redshift schemas, curated datasets, standardized terminology, and mapped business KPIs to support accurate interpretation.
- Validated Real Business Scenarios Through Workshops: Engaged marketing, content, and analytics teams to gather real user questions and iteratively tune Q for higher accuracy.
