Secoda’s new integration with Omni brings trusted BI assets into the data catalog, making dashboards, charts, and lineage searchable and governed alongside the rest of your metadata.

Secoda has launched a new integration with Omni, a fast-growing business intelligence platform designed to align data and business teams through a modern semantic layer. With this release, organizations can now bring Omni’s dashboards, charts and end-to-end lineage into Secoda, creating full visibility from raw data to final report.

This integration enables teams to search, explore, and document BI assets in the same place they manage upstream metadata. It improves consistency, reduces manual work, and supports faster, more reliable decision-making across the business.

Why Omni is the right BI layer for modern teams

Omni gives data teams the structure of a semantic layer with the flexibility of modern dashboarding. Metrics are defined once and reused across models, workbooks, and dashboards. This reduces the risk of conflicting logic and ensures teams are working from the same definitions.

Unlike traditional BI tools, which often hard-code logic into each dashboard, Omni separates metric definitions from their visualizations. This makes it easier to maintain accuracy, update metrics over time, and ensure consistent reporting across teams.

Omni also supports a development workflow that helps data teams manage changes, collaborate, and audit updates over time. Business users benefit from consistent reporting, while data teams stay in control of how metrics are defined and applied.

By combining governed definitions with flexible reporting, Omni helps teams move faster and stay aligned on what the data means.

Secoda automatically visualizes Omni lineage back to Snowflake source tables and views.

Why Secoda is the foundation for data discovery and governance

Secoda brings all your metadata into one place and automates documentation, discovery, analytics, observability and governance across the stack. By connecting to warehouses, dbt, orchestrators, and BI platforms like Omni, Secoda gives teams a unified view of how data is defined, transformed, and used — from ingestion to insight.

Unlike traditional catalogs, Secoda is designed for both data consumers and data producers. It acts as a single entry point where anyone can search for definitions, dashboards, owners, and lineage - even across tools they don't directly access. With built-in automation, Secoda keeps documentation up to date, flags stale assets, and makes it easy to track changes over time.

Secoda AI helps users get answers faster, whether they’re onboarding, troubleshooting, or exploring data for a new project. And with granular access management, teams can confidently share knowledge while maintaining security and control.

By centralizing context and enabling governed self-serve discovery, Secoda helps teams reduce repetitive work, improve data quality, and move faster with fewer handoffs.

Why this integration makes both tools more powerful

Together, Secoda and Omni help organizations align their data infrastructure with business needs. This integration:

  • Connects the full analytics workflow from source to dashboard so issues can be identified and resolved quickly
  • Improves data literacy across teams by making definitions, dashboards, and metrics easier to find and understand
  • Reduces duplicated reporting by enabling teams to search and reuse existing models and workbooks
  • Expands access to trusted BI content by allowing users to discover Omni dashboards and metrics in Secoda - including through Secoda’s AI chatbot - even if they don’t have direct access to Omni
  • Brings context into one place by linking BI assets with upstream data models, warehouse tables, and transformation logic
  • Supports scalable governance with always-up-to-date lineage and documentation across the stack
  • Reduces ad hoc support requests by making documentation and metric ownership easier to access

By connecting Omni’s BI layer with Secoda’s governance engine, teams can move faster, reduce confusion, and build reporting they trust.

What metadata gets synced

Once connected, Secoda automatically ingests and keeps up to date:

  • Dashboards and charts
  • Lineage between all relevant assets

This metadata becomes available in Secoda’s catalog, glossary, and lineage views, making BI assets as discoverable and governed as the rest of your data stack.

See it in action

The integration takes just a few minutes to configure. Once connected, Omni assets start syncing automatically, with no manual setup required. From there, teams can enrich their documentation, build a data dictionary, and make trusted analytics accessible to everyone.
