For years, businesses have wrestled with the same paradox: “Should we invest heavily in building and maintaining a data warehouse, or should we attempt to leverage a data lake for agility?”
Traditionally, the answer has been costly and limiting. A data warehouse required significant investment in infrastructure, cloud storage, administration, and IT expertise. A data lake offered flexibility but often demanded sophisticated engineering to make the data consistent, reliable, and usable.
Most companies, especially small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), have struggled to find a middle ground. SART360 changes that.
A Dual Approach: Data Lake or Data Warehouse: Your Choice
With SART360, organizations no longer have to be locked into one rigid path. Instead, they gain:
1. A No-Code Data Lake Creation Path, for those who want agility without the overhead of building and maintaining a data warehouse.
- Create consistency and structure within SART360 itself.
- Combine data across multiple sources.
- All without writing a single line of code.
2. Data Warehouse Connectivity, for organizations that already have or want to maintain a data warehouse.
- Seamlessly connect to the warehouse.
- Leverage existing investments in governance and performance tuning.
- SART360 has ready-made connectors for several popular data warehouse platforms.
This dual flexibility is not just a technical feature; it is a business enabler.
Cost-Effectiveness: Especially for SME Clients
For SMEs, the economics are compelling:
- No need to build and maintain a separate data warehouse.
- No hidden costs in cloud storage, compute, and administration.
- No technical debt from cobbled-together integrations or scripts.
- Faster time to insight, without the bottleneck of IT dependency.
In short: you can get enterprise-grade data capabilities without enterprise-grade costs.
No-Code Citizen Data Lake Creation
One of the most powerful features of SART360 is that building a data lake is completely no-code.
That means:
- Business users (not just data engineers) can create and manage their data environments.
- Data remains accessible, consistent, and ready-to-analyse without back-and-forth IT tickets.
- Companies avoid technical debt, no brittle pipelines, no reliance on scarce engineering bandwidth.
This embodies the citizen approach that SART360 was built on: empowering users to be self-reliant, confident, and data driven.
Flexibility That Future-Proofs
The brilliance of SART360’s dual approach lies in its futureproofing:
- Start with a no-code data lake when lean and agile.
- Connect to a data warehouse later if governance or enterprise scale demands it.
- Or continue with both in parallel, depending on department needs.
The choice is always in the client’s hands, not dictated by technology constraints.
Why This Matters
- For SMEs → Immediate cost savings, agility, and freedom from IT bottlenecks.
- For large enterprises → Flexibility to leverage existing data warehouses while experimenting with leaner no-code data lakes.
- For all users → A true citizen-first experience that puts data power where it belongs: in the hands of decision-makers.
SART360’s Promise
Data should enable decisions, not create overhead. With its dual, no-code approach to data lakes and warehouses, SART360 has redefined what is possible for organizations of every size. It is not just analytics. It is not just reporting. It is data freedom, built for the future, accessible today.
