What is Data Democratization?
Making data accessible to all employees regardless of technical skill level.
Data democratization is the practice of making data accessible to all employees in an organization, not just data specialists or IT teams. It involves providing intuitive tools, training programs, governed self-service platforms, and a culture that encourages data-driven decision-making at every level. The goal is to remove bottlenecks where business users must wait for analysts or engineers to provide data access.
