Abstract: 

Learn how AtScale's semantic layer works and why companies like Wayfair, The Home Depot, Fidelity, Cigna, and Tyson Foods use it for speed-of-thought query performance and consistent KPIs across their BI/AI tools on popular cloud data platforms. You'll see why a semantic layer is important and how AtScale pays for itself many times over by reducing costs by 2-16x and improving query performance and user concurrency by 11-31x.
