# What Is Atlas and How Does It Work?

## An all-in-one data analytics and business intelligence platform for connecting, preparing, analyzing, and visualizing your business data.

### What Is Atlas BI?

Atlas BI is an all-in-one data analytics and business intelligence platform that helps teams connect, store, prepare, analyze, visualize, and export their business data.

It combines data connectors, a data warehouse, dashboards, AI data analysis, machine learning, and advanced analytics in one platform. This allows teams to work with their data more efficiently without switching between different tools for every step of the process.

### What Can You Use Atlas BI For?

Atlas BI helps you manage the complete data analytics workflow:

- Connect data from different business sources.
- Store and organize data in Atlas Warehouse.
- Prepare and query data using SQL.
- Build interactive dashboards and reports.
- Analyze data using AI-powered insights and machine learning.
- Share, export, and use your results in other workflows.

This makes Atlas BI useful for reporting, business intelligence, marketing analytics, self-service analytics, and advanced data analysis.

### How Does Atlas BI Work?

#### Connect Your Business Data

Atlas BI connects to business data through API connectors and other supported data sources. This allows you to bring your data into one centralized environment for analysis.

#### Store and Prepare Your Data

Atlas Warehouse provides the data warehouse layer of the platform. You can store, prepare, query, and export your data before using it for reporting or analysis.

#### Build Dashboards

Once your data is ready, you can use Atlas Dashboard to create visual reports, monitor key metrics, compare time periods, apply filters, and identify important trends.

#### Analyze Data with AI and Machine Learning

Atlas BI also provides AI-powered insights, machine learning, and advanced analytics to help you explore your data, identify patterns, and understand what may happen next.

#### Export and Share Your Results

You can export your data and results when you need to use them in other tools or workflows. Atlas can also help you share insights with your team through dashboards and reports.

### Which Tools and Workflows Can Atlas Simplify?

Atlas BI can simplify workflows commonly handled with tools such as Google Sheets, Excel, Data Studio, Power BI, BigQuery, Snowflake, and Amazon Redshift.

Instead of moving data between separate tools for storage, reporting, analysis, and visualization, Atlas brings many of these workflows together in one data analytics platform.

Depending on your setup, Atlas can help reduce the need for multiple tools across your data stack while keeping your data, dashboards, and analysis connected.

### Who Is Atlas BI For?

Atlas BI is designed for teams that need to work with business data without relying on multiple disconnected tools.

It can be useful for:

- Marketing and growth teams.
- Data and business intelligence teams.
- Agencies managing data for multiple clients.
- Companies that need a centralized data warehouse.
- Teams building marketing dashboards and reports.
- Analysts who want to use AI data analysis and machine learning.
- Businesses looking for self-service analytics.

### What Is the Difference Between Atlas Warehouse and Atlas Dashboard?

Atlas Warehouse is where you store, prepare, query, and manage your data.

Atlas Dashboard is where you visualize that data, monitor metrics, apply filters, compare results, and communicate insights.

In simple terms, Atlas Warehouse helps you prepare the data, while Atlas Dashboard helps you understand and present it.

### How Do I Get Started with Atlas BI?

To get started, connect a data source and import your data into Atlas Warehouse. From there, you can review and prepare your data, create a dashboard, and begin exploring your results with Atlas BI's analytics and AI-powered features.
