WhereScape 3D 8.6

WhereScape 3D, from WhereScape Software Limited, is a data design and planning solution that helps teams scope, model, and document analytics environments before they build them. It streamlines the early stages of data warehousing and lakehouse projects by profiling source systems, capturing business requirements, and producing clear, metadata-driven designs that can be implemented rapidly with WhereScape automation tools.

Key capabilities

• Source discovery and profiling: Connect to common enterprise data sources to assess structures, relationships, and data quality early in the project.
• Data modeling options: Design conceptual, logical, and physical models for dimensional (star/snowflake), Data Vault 2.0, or third normal form architectures.
• Metadata-driven mapping: Define business rules, transformations, and mappings from source to target with reusable, standardized logic.
• Rapid prototyping: Build and validate working prototypes using sampled data to align stakeholders and reduce rework.
• Reverse engineering and documentation: Import and document existing warehouses, generate data dictionaries and design specs, and visualize lineage and impact.
• Governance and collaboration: Maintain a central repository of definitions, requirements, and design artifacts to support consistency and auditability.
• Seamless handoff: Publish designs to WhereScape automation (such as WhereScape RED) for implementation on leading cloud and on-premises platforms, including Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Azure Synapse, SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, and Databricks.

Who it’s for

• Data architects, modelers, and engineers who need to plan and validate designs quickly
• Analytics leaders and business stakeholders seeking clarity, traceability, and faster time to value

Primary benefits

• Reduces delivery risk through early profiling, prototyping, and impact analysis
• Accelerates build-out via metadata-driven designs and automated handoff
• Improves governance with consistent documentation, lineage, and definitions
