Realize self-service BI (LoB①)

By implementing HULFT DataCatalog, sales and back office staff can find the data they need themselves and analyze and visualize it using BI tools such as Tableau and Excel (Power BI). This eliminates the need to request the IT department each time, enabling self-service BI by LoB (field staff).

Establishing a glossary to avoid misinterpretation (LoB②)

By focusing on the "meaning" of the term itself, it eliminates communication loss caused by different business terms used by different departments/divisions. By linking defined terms with data, it is possible to correctly understand the data and prevent incorrect data selection due to misinterpretation.
