Denodo has just released version 9.0 of its Denodo Platform, which represents a significant advancement in data management by incorporating artificial intelligence and advanced analytics. The new version facilitates intelligent data delivery through AI, allowing users to perform queries in natural language without the need for SQL knowledge. It also provides large linguistic models (LLM) with governed data in real time, improving retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to obtain accurate and reliable results in generative AI applications.
Denodo Platform 9.0 includes new features that enable the system to learn from users’ interactions with data, offering automatic recommendations on the most appropriate data for each specific need. This will significantly increase user productivity, as they will not have to spend time searching for or selecting the necessary data.
Users can formulate their queries in natural language and receive immediate responses along with a detailed breakdown of the query building process. The platform also optimizes data delivery across multiple channels, automatically identifying and using the most efficient methods, reducing costs and saving time. Additionally, the platform reinforces regulatory compliance with advanced security measures.
