An important aspect of the Information Delivery layer is the creation of data marts—specialized subsets of the data platform that serve distinct business needs. These marts are designed to optimize performance and usability for specific types of analysis.
EXAMPLES OF MARTS
— Information Mart: Focuses on presenting business metrics, KPIs, and performance indicators, offering insights for decision-making and reporting
— Error Mart: Tracks and manages inconsistencies that violate hard rules
— Meta Mart: Centralized repository containing metadata about data structures, lineage, transformations, and applied business rules
— AI Mart: Feature store derived from multiple data sources used by data scientists to train AI models
The Information Delivery layer empowers business users with accurate, timely, and relevant data. This layer is not just about data presentation; it’s about enabling better business outcomes by providing the right data in the right format at the right time. Whether through dashboards, reports, or more complex analytical models, the Information Delivery layer is crucial in transforming raw data into actionable insights.
