WhereScape FAQs

  • Who is WhereScape best for - their role(s) within what kind of companies.

    WhereScape helps IT teams of all sizes use its automation software to fast-track the design, development, deployment and operation of data infrastructure, from data warehouses and data vaults, to data lakes and data marts - whether in the cloud, on-premises or managing a hybrid of both. IT management and architects focused on data warehousing and analytics routinely attest to value that automation software brings to their organizations in terms of quicker project delivery, less risk, lower cost and increased project success.

  • How does WhereScape benefit them?

    WhereScape automation software is designed to leverage the best practices and native strengths of the leading data platforms on the market, including Amazon Redshift, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Azure, Oracle, Snowflake, Teradata and more. Through automation, WhereScape is able to help IT teams eliminate 95% of the hand-coding traditionally required in the design, development, deployment and operation of data infrastructure - boosting developer productivity five-fold. Beyond auto-generating code, the metadata-based software automatically produces all documentation as you work - allowing IT teams to focus on the more strategic aspects of data infrastructure development and positioning teams to understand impacts and more easily and efficiently address change in the future.

  • How technical do users need to be to use WhereScape's software?

    One of the repeated benefits attested to by WhereScape customers is that users with little to no previous experience in data warehousing, and/or the data platforms to be used, are able to leverage WhereScape automation to deliver data infrastructure projects with little assistance. Additionally, as organizations evolve their data infrastructure into new domains - such as migration to the cloud - or begin to take advantage of a new era of data sources - real-time streaming data like IoT or social media, for example - WhereScape automation masks much of the complexity and helps companies to evolve no matter their current staff skillset.

  • What makes WhereScape a leader in this space?

    WhereScape has been at the forefront of data warehouse automation since the category's inception and continues to evolve with new offerings that bridge the opportunity associated with our quickly evolving data landscape and the current demands and resourcing most IT organizations wrestle with each day. Recent examples of new offerings include data vault 2.0 automation, streaming data automation and cloud data warehouse automation.

  • Who are WhereScape's biggest competitors (3-5 companies)?

    Companies that continue to use traditional, manual-intensive methods to design, develop, deploy and operate data infrastructure remain the biggest competition for WhereScape. When companies see the potential of automation to help IT teams handle the increasing complexity and ever-growing demand for data that business users require today, automation becomes a clear leader.

  • How/why is WhereScape better than those competitors (or most others in their market)? What about WhereScape is unique, stronger, easier, etc.?

    Companies who choose to leverage automation are able to reduce their time to delivery of data-infrastructure projects by 80%, boost developer productivity five-fold, increase project success through greater code stability, and put their teams in a position to quickly respond to changing needs with metadata-backed development and current documentation.
