Unlock the 7 benefits of Templates and SpotApps by cutting time-to-insights from months to minutes.
Gaining insights from your data can be time-consuming. Or as simple as a few clicks. Depending on if you want to do everything by yourself, or if you let us help.
For example, next time one of your stakeholders asks: “Can you deliver the dashboards by the end of next week?”
You can say yes with confidence, and in this blog we are going to show you why and how it is done.
Keboola and ThoughtSpot partnered up to solve the problem and offer out-of-the-box, end-to-end insight engines that fuel your growth. Now business teams can tap into advanced analytics with 0 help from the IT department.
But first… what’s the challenge with the current data landscape?
The Modern Data Stack makes transforming raw data into insights unnecessarily difficult.
From multiple tools that hate working together to constant maintenance and lack of technical resources; wrangling and engineering data is a bit of a nightmare.
Even when you have clean data, you also need to catalog it, define and build metrics, and engineer dashboards that can showcase the insights hidden behind the 1s and 0s.
Instead of building data pipelines yourself to deliver data, rely on Keboola’s Use Case Templates. Access advanced analytics without having to wait on the engineering or IT departments.
Configure a Template in a couple of clicks, and the Template will automatically extract raw data from a data source, clean it, aggregate it, compute metrics, model it into tables and save it to the data warehouse of your choice. And share data with ThoughtSpot for visualization. From raw data to actionable clean, visualized data in minutes.
Is this data heaven? Nope, just the future. And the future is here now!
Each Template and SpotApp is pre-made with bespoke analytic use cases, centered around the industry best practices, trends, and needs of data practitioners.

Moving from a question to a fully-fledged AI-driven insights machine takes months with the modern data stack.
Keboola’s Templates take minutes to configure and launch, providing ready-to-use data in a heartbeat - no need to dip into your own engineering and DevOps resources.
ThoughtSpot’s SpotApps set up and launch Liveboards that are equipped with AI-driven SearchIQ to answer the most common industry questions (and equip you with the tools to answer ad hoc queries) in minutes.
Cutting the data lifecycle from months to minutes gives you the edge over your competition and frees up your resources for more revenue-generating activities.
In the traditional data world, a business question triggers a domino effect.
The business stakeholder asks a question. Analysts pick up the question and decide how to compute metrics to answer it. Scientists need to model data to support metric computation. And engineers need to construct data pipelines to provide that data.
A simple question introduces a lot of delays and dependencies.
With Keboola and ThoughtSpot, anyone can ask questions and get answers without needing to rely on limited technical resources.
This is data democratization at your fingertips.
Manual data workflows - for analytic or engineering pipelines - often result in hidden human errors and time-consuming bug chasing to resolve them.
With end-to-end automatization of data lifecycles, you’re less likely to introduce human errors to your data operations and avoid tedious and repetitive tasks.
Automation helps you to guarantee a smooth and higher standard of data quality and consistency while making your entire DataOps much more resilient.
Both Keboola and ThoughtSpot have made their solutions fully portable.
You can develop a Keboola Template that handles data engineering as a proof-of-concept (POC). Once you validate it, you can move it from the staging branch to the QA or production branch.
The ability to click and launch end-to-end workflows also enables you to tear down silos between different stakeholders in your company. A successful analytics pipeline developed by one team can quickly be picked up and reused by another team for their project.
Keboola’s Templates and ThoughtSpot’s SpotApps provide you with a massive head start. But you can always open up the pre-made solutions and fully customize them to suit your needs.
The platforms scale and grow with you, without vendor lock-in stifling your growth.
Every touchpoint and change is versioned in Keboola and ThoughtSpot.
This allows you to understand how business concepts have evolved, roll back an unsuccessful change to the previous version, and quickly identify who made what change when you need to track a bug to its root cause.
Most BI and data engineering tools look great on paper… until you realize you need a team of data engineers to even use them.
That’s not the case with Keboola and ThoughtSpot. Both platforms are designed for you to bring your own data stack, without needing to introduce new infrastructure that would inflate your data operations costs and add complexity.
Templates and SpotApps are native features of Keboola and ThoughtSpot. They are governed by all the data security mechanisms offered by the platforms. So you can rest assured your data is fully protected.
With Templates and SpotApps you access end-to-end encryption of data at rest and in transit, get the power to manage data access and sharing on a granular and role-based level, and make sure your data operations are compliant with GDPR and the other regulations. And those are just some of the many security features protecting your data.
