Today’s organizations need faster, more reliable insights — but metric sprawl and inconsistent KPIs make that difficult. In this session, you’ll learn how Unity Catalog Metrics helps unify business semantics across your organization. Define your KPIs once, apply enterprise-grade governance with fine-grained access controls, auditing and lineage, and use them across any Databricks tool — from AI/BI Dashboards and Genie to notebooks and Lakeflow. You’ll learn how to eliminate metric chaos by centrally defining and governing metrics with Unity Catalog. You’ll walk away with strategies to boost trust through built-in governance and empower every team — regardless of technical skill — to work from the same certified metrics.

With hundreds of millions viewing broadcasts from news to sports, Fox relies on a sophisticated and trusted architecture ingesting 100+ data sources, carefully governed to improve UX across products, drive sales and marketing, and ensure KPI tracking. Join Oliver Gomes, VP of Enterprise and Data Platform at Fox, and Prukalpa Sankar of Atlan to learn how true partnership helps their team navigate opportunities from Governance to AI. To govern and democratize their multi-cloud data platform, Fox chose Atlan to make data accessible and understandable for more users than ever before. Their team then used a data product approach to create a shared language using context from sources like Unity Catalog at a single point of access, no matter the underlying technology. Now, Fox is defining an ambitious future for Metadata. With Atlan and Iceberg driving interoperability, their team prepares to build a “control plane”, creating a common system of trust and governance.

In this session, attendees will learn how to leverage Databricks' system tables to measure user adoption and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for data products. The session will focus on how organizations can use system tables to analyze user behavior, assess engagement with data products and identify usage trends that can inform product development. By measuring KPIs such as user retention, frequency of use and data queries, organizations can optimize their data products for better performance and ROI.
