#️⃣ How do you build robust, scalable enterprise Data Warehouses without code? DSharp has the answer. Join Kim Johnsson as we discuss the power of data modelling, low-code/no-code and the use of AI in building robust, scalable data systems.

Why a Model-First Approach Makes Data Warehousing Easier Kim emphasises that focusing on a business-friendly, UML-like model (instead of jumping straight to tables, hubs, links, or satellites) dramatically reduces complexity. By describing data concepts (e.g., “Person,” “Organisation”) rather than technical structures, teams work more closely with business requirements and accelerate design decisions. 2. Automation and Reusability for Faster Time-to-Value A recurring pain point in BI and data warehouse projects is repetitive manual work. Kim explains how automation tools—like DSH Studio—eliminate repetitive coding (SQL joins, Data Vault table creation, etc.). This reusability approach cuts down project timelines, enabling teams to deliver insights more rapidly. 3. Simplifying Ongoing Maintenance and Change Management Because the solution generates all of the underlying structures automatically, changes are handled at the model level. If the business logic changes (e.g., a new attribute or different key), teams update the model and regenerate the warehouse. This top-down approach reduces the technical burden of managing large numbers of tables and relationships over time. 4. Integrating AI and Language Models into Data Modelling** Kim highlights how generative AI (like ChatGPT) can quickly create initial data models by interpreting written business definitions. Though still maturing, these AI-driven features can give teams a head start, automate routine modelling tasks, and spark more productive discussions with stakeholders. 5. Key Takeaways for Data Leaders and Practitioners: 🫵🏼 Focus on Business Concepts: Modelling at a conceptual level encourages alignment with real business needs. 🫵🏼 Leverage Automation: Tools that auto-generate Data Vault structures free teams from repetitive coding, boosting productivity. 🫵🏼 Foster Collaboration: A shared model (versus purely technical artifacts) lets both business and IT speak a common language. 🫵🏼 Adapt to AI: Early experiments with LLMs show promising ways to speed up data modeling and design. 🫵🏼 Trust Through Iteration: As Kim notes, once teams see the automation “just works,” they confidently embrace a fully model-driven approach.
