Strategy Mosaic named a 2026 trend-setting product by DBTA

The recognition reflects not only Mosaic’s forward-looking innovation, but also the deep foundations behind it, built on three decades of semantic and governance expertise from Strategy.

At its core, Strategy Mosaic is the enterprise-grade Universal Semantic Layer (USL), a shared, governed layer of intelligence that becomes your organization’s authoritative corporate memory.

By separating critical business logic from the underlying infrastructure, Mosaic makes your metrics portable, governed, and independent of any single cloud platform, database, or BI tool.

Data fragmentation has become a daily reality. Different teams define the same metrics differently across Power BI, Tableau, Excel, and AI tools. The result? Conflicting insights, governance blind spots, and declining trust.

Mosaic solves this by establishing a single, reusable semantic foundation that works everywhere. You define your logic once—and it is enforced consistently across every system.

That shared foundation is actively protected by Sentinel, Mosaic’s integrated governance layer. Sentinel turns governance into a living, real-time defense instead of a periodic compliance exercise.

It continuously monitors lineage, detects security anomalies, and surfaces cost inefficiencies, helping organizations stop risks and runaway spending before they escalate.

Mosaic also provides the semantic depth AI systems depend on to be trustworthy. With more than 25 years of accumulated semantic intelligence, including hierarchies, multi-form attributes, time intelligence, lineage, and complex business rules, Mosaic gives AI the context it needs to avoid hallucinations and deliver verifiable, auditable answers.

“The increasing adoption of AI-driven analytics, cloud, rising data volumes from IoT devices, and the demand for real-time business insights is contributing to an even larger demand for big data”

— Tom Hogan, Group Publisher, Database Trends and Applications

Because Mosaic operates independently of the rest of the data stack, it inherently future-proofs your architecture. Organizations can migrate warehouses, adopt new data engines, or change cloud providers without having to rebuild BI models or AI pipelines.

Mosaic’s in-memory acceleration also introduces meaningful cost arbitrage, cutting cloud compute usage and reducing exposure to unpredictable, usage-based pricing models across data and analytics platforms.

The recognition as a Trend-Setting Product for 2026 is a testament to how Strategy Mosaic transforms fragmented data into a single, governed, AI-ready enterprise asset. 

Engineered for portability, built for scale, and backed by decades of semantic leadership, Mosaic is poised to transform how organizations define, govern, and trust their data in the age of AI.
