DI Squared, a leading data consultancy specializing in building reliable and scalable analytics ecosystems, today announced a strategic partnership with Astrato, a self-service cloud BI platform. Together, they aim to revolutionize how organizations access, analyze, and act on data across their enterprises.
By integrating Astrato’s cutting-edge capabilities into DI Squared’s approach to building tailored data foundations, this collaboration equips businesses with the tools they need to unlock real-time insights without the inefficiencies of data duplication or extensive IT support.
“At DI Squared, we’re focused on delivering fast, flexible analytics that align with the modern cloud data stack, and Astrato helps us do exactly that,” said Joel Kardell, Director of Analytics at DI Squared. “Its direct-query approach, paired with intuitive design and built-in governance, lets us deliver real-time insights without copying or moving data. From strategic dashboards to operational tools, we can enable business users and data teams alike to explore, act, and build with confidence.”
"Analytics should happen where the data lives,” said Martin Mahler, CEO of Astrato. “By pairing DI Squared’s deep expertise in cloud data foundations with Astrato’s live-query, no-code platform, we future-proof analytics for the next phase of AI in BI. We go beyond reporting with real-time writeback and no-code actions, so organizations can move from lagging dashboards to decision-ready data apps without the hidden cost of extracts or scripting.”
Astrato’s cloud-native platform is built for the modern data stack, querying data where it lives so teams get real-time answers without extracts or reload scripts. Warehouse agnostic and warehouse-native, its live-query engine connects directly to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and other cloud platforms. A no-code builder pairs with GenAI-powered explanations, writeback, and fine-grained governance controls, letting analysts and business users build decision-ready data apps in minutes rather than weeks.
This partnership also creates opportunities for DI Squared’s clients to leverage Astrato’s unique features, including native writeback, no-code actions for triggering BI workflows, baked-in AI capabilities, and a usage-based pricing model for cost control.
Organizations navigating complex regulatory environments or hybrid cloud infrastructures are particularly well-positioned to benefit from this partnership. DI Squared’s expertise in engineering data platforms for the long-term, combined with Astrato’s innovative platform, offers a clear path for enterprises modernizing their analytics frameworks.
“Together with Astrato, we’re helping organizations bridge gaps in their data ecosystems with solutions that are flexible, future-proof, and easy to deploy,” Joel Kardell added. “This partnership exemplifies our commitment to creating smarter and more agile analytics environments for our clients.”
