Managing data and access to data is one of the biggest challenges that a company can face. It’s common for data to be siloed into independent sources that are difficult to access in a unified and integrated way.

One approach to solving this problem is to build a layer on top of the heterogenous data sources. This layer can serve as an interface for the data and provide governance and access control.

Cube is a semantic layer between the data source and data applications. Artyom Keydunov is the founder of Cube and he joins the show to talk about the approach Cube is taking.
