Domo is a power-packed business intelligence (BI) platform that empowers organizations to track, analyze, and activate data in record time at cloud scale and performance.
Data Democratization with Domo begins with an overview of the Domo ecosystem. You'll learn how to get data into the cloud with Domo data connectors and Workbench; profile datasets; use Magic ETL to transform data; work with in-memory data sculpting tools (Data Views and Beast Modes); create, edit, and link card visualizations; and create card drill paths using Domo Analyzer. Next, you'll discover options to distribute content with real-time updates using Domo Embed and digital wallboards. As you advance, you'll understand how to use alerts and webhooks to drive automated actions. You'll also build and deploy a custom app to the Domo Appstore and find out how to code Python apps, use Jupyter Notebooks, and insert R custom models. Furthermore, you'll learn how to use Auto ML to automatically evaluate dozens of models for the best fit using SageMaker and produce a predictive model as well as use Python and the Domo Command Line Interface tool to extend Domo. Finally, you'll learn how to govern and secure the entire Domo platform.
By the end of this book, you'll have gained the skills you need to become a successful Domo master.
Review
"I often talk about Domo as the ultimate data agility platform. This makes it very powerful but also means there is a lot of flexibility within the platform, and it can even be overwhelming for some. This book helps you break down all that complexity and walks through all the wonderful features available to you on your data agility journey in Domo."
--Ben Schein, Vice President, Data Curiosity at Domo
