Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed five major areas in the Domo ecosystem (acquiring, storing, presenting, extending, and governing). We learned all these areas are integrated, working together as seen in Figure 1.1. This integration simplifies the user experience, making it so that a typical business user can use the entire ecosystem without having to rely on other more technical resources. This democratizes the process while also tracking user activities so that proper governance can be enforced. We learned that it is important to not only create content but also have proper roles in place to get the most out of the technology and that as the organization's scope grows, the roles also expand.

In the following chapters, we will be diving deeper into all five areas, providing detailed steps for how to accomplish various tasks. We will start with getting data into Domo, then move on to sculpting the data, then address presenting and distributing content. Additionally, we will cover extending the system beyond Domo. And finally, we will walk through governing activities.

In the next chapter, we will take a hands-on approach to using the acquire pipeline intake features of the Domo ecosystem.
