It allows you to explore the questions what happened and why did it happen? The second is monitoring. This is looking at things as they happen.

When business intelligence vendors talk about democratizing data discovery, they can have very different interpretations about 'democracy'. If a business intends to provide self-serve BI tools to its employees for daily use and data discovery, it must provide true data democratization.
