Recently, here at InterWorks, we had a professional development day where we talked through popular partner systems. Databricks was one that really stood out to me. Rather than focusing on one specific feature, I decided to talk about 10 things that I believe makes them...
dbt is continuing its tradition of upping the ante and developing new features to really enhance the seamless data transformation experience. In their most recent installment of “What’s new in dbt Cloud,” there were many announcements. Here are a few that we are the most excited...
When I'm doing data engineering work for a client, it's very common to work with data that's been exported from a source system to a Comma Separated Variable (CSV) file. For a lot of data transfer scenarios, these simple text-based files can work well. Where I...
Sometimes, just writing things down or saying things aloud helps me learn or understand something with more clarity and in greater depth. I’m sure that I’m not alone in my learning style and how I best absorb information into my brain. So, while trying to...
Man, the shortest month of the year always has a habit of feeling like the longest, huh? But we've done it, dear readers: the second month of the year is behind us. Only ten more to go! Welcome back to our monthly roundup, where we share...
As a Tableau Consultant or Data Analyst, many of us may find ourselves looking at the blank canvas of our first Power BI report, trying to understand the terminology of this new tool that many of us may find ourselves switching to or adding to...
One of the most exciting advancements in the Snowflake ecosystem as of late is the support for Streamlit, a powerful open-source Python framework for data scientists and AI/ML engineers that allows the creation of data apps. By combining Snowflake cloud data platform possibilities with Streamlit's ease...
I’m seeing in today’s data landscape that many companies find themselves drowning in a sea of disjointed data. (Apologies in advance for the nautical references, I’m a fan of history and the Royal Navy in the 1800’s, so there will be more!) Imagine a scenario...
I’ve had the benefit over the last few years of listening to hundreds of our clients talk about business intelligence (BI) tools and how they are being used across their organizations. Although there’s never a one-size-fits-all approach to success across all companies, there are some...
Happy New Year, dear readers! (Now that I think about it, it's probably been about a month since you last heard that one, huh?) We're happy to have you back for another great year of content on the blog. We're spinning up some exciting content on...
Having recently been brought on as one of InterWorks' newest Data Engineers, I wanted to compile a list of advice that I've found helpful during the onboarding process. Hopefully, if you're in a similar position of starting your data engineering journey, this will make your...
While there is no crystal ball that can predict exactly where the data industry will go in 2025, or which tools or practices will make the largest impact, we at InterWorks are uniquely positioned to help our customers take the next best step on the...
Snowflake has transformed how businesses manage and interact with data, providing a powerful platform for handling large-scale data processing, analytics and integration with modern tools. One of Snowflake’s standout capabilities is its integration with Document AI, which allows for automatic extraction of data from documents. In...
Recently, I have been involved in working with larger datasets. Anyone who has done extensive data preparation with datasets at scale, in order to get the data cleaned and shaped for Tableau visualization purposes, will soon realize the importance of a workbook performance budget. When I’m...
Snowflake recently started supporting a whole range of new private connectivity functionality when interacting with Azure, and as a security-conscious architect I really couldn't be happier. We've already seen private connectivity support between Azure and Snowflake in other ways, such as the following: Configure Azure Private...
In one of its newer releases from 2024 (version 2024.2 to be exact), Tableau began to offer Viz Extensions. These are newly offered chart types, which are available as point-and-click selections from within the Marks cards area. Essentially, they are powered by web applications that...
Ever wonder what the pros and cons of dark mode versus light mode dashboards in Tableau might be? I think ultimately, it boils to personal preference. That’s exactly my point. Stay with me as I discuss why users might prefer one over the other. First, a dark...
When it comes to the business intelligence sphere, InterWorks provides quite an array of services and solutions. From foundational data engineering and data architecture to helping clients create beautiful dashboards, it’s truly end to end. One area we’ve seen explode in recent years is an increased...
One of our biggest projects this year was a white paper collaboration between InterWorks and dbt, one of the most important players in the data space at the moment, titled "Semantic Layers in Action: Real-World Use Cases and Business Impact." Nor surprisingly, for white paper...
When I teach LODs in Tableau trainings, I usually set the expectation that it will take a while (and a lot of practice) before students will understand what is going on. That still stands. Teaching the pure concept, though, we can do in ten minutes....
