Data Prism
From plain language questions to a detailed analytics dashboard. No SQL, no ticket, no waiting.
The Problem
Analysts and program staff need answers fast, but most analytics work still runs through engineers who write the SQL, build the pipelines, and manage access.
Routine questions are congested behind technical teams or outside vendors, while the people closest to the program wait for insight they could have acted on immediately.
What Data Prism Does
Data Prism is the self-service analytics layer that lets the people answer their own questions. It connects to data sources or uploads a file, and enables plain-language interrogation.
A per-connection semantic model teaches Data Prism what your data means, so natural-language questions become accurate, and role-based access plus a full audit trail keeps every session inside the policy-and-rule box. Analysts assemble charts into collections and dashboards without filing a ticket or waiting on a vendor.
Data Prism powers the self-service analytics experience inside the Tessarix™ platform, and runs in your own cloud environment. It turns the analytics backlog into a conversation: question in, dashboard out, in the time it used to take to write the request.

How It Works
From Question to Dashboard
Follow one plain-language question as it becomes a governed, shareable answer.
Point Data Prism at a database, a cloud source, or an uploaded file. A per-connection semantic model learns what your data actually means.
Type a question the way you would say it out loud, in plain language. Prefer SQL? Write it directly. Either way, no waiting on an engineer.
Data Prism turns the question into governed SQL and a chart, always inside your role-based access rules, with every query logged for audit.
Collect answers into visualizations, organize them into a dashboard, and share, with no ticket, no vendor cycle, and nothing rebuilt by hand.
How It Works
Key Capabilities

How We Compare
Waiting on the Data Team vs. Data Prism
| Waiting on the Data Team | Data Prism |
|---|---|
| Every question becomes an engineering ticket | Analysts ask and answer for themselves |
| Routine answers take days or a vendor cycle | Question to dashboard in one sitting |
| SQL skills required to explore the data | Plain language, or SQL when you want it |
| Ungoverned exports and shadow spreadsheets | Governed SQL, role-based access, full audit |
| Dashboards rebuilt by hand each time | Charts and dashboards assembled and reused |
Why It Wins
The Differentiator
Most self-service analytics tools still require the user to write SQL, or they hand over a text-to-SQL toy that guesses. Data Prism is built for government and regulated data: a per-connection semantic model makes natural language accurate, governance and audit are in the path rather than bolted on, and bring-your-own-data and bring-your-own-analytics live in one layer, the same layer that powers self-service inside Tessarix™.
