On Demand | Is Visual Data Modeling Better Than Code-Based Data Modeling?

April 16, 2026
visual data modeling

Code-first workflows can be great for transformations, but the “big picture” often stays trapped in repos, files and tribal knowledge. Visual modeling changes that.

In this webinar, you’ll see a practical walk-through of how WhereScape 3D turns your environment into a living visual blueprint – from discovery + profiling to modeling, impact analysis & always-current documentation.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn tribal knowledge into shared understanding: map relationships, document intent & keep architecture readable as it grows.
  • Auto-inventory your environment: ingest metadata, generate ERDs/diagrams & see how systems connect.
  • De-risk modeling with profiling: surface nulls, ranges, cardinality and anomalies early.
  • Collaborate across roles: give architects, engineers & stakeholders a common visual language.
  • Work alongside code ecosystems: see where 3D complements dbt-style DAG/docs to reduce friction.

If your project ever slowed because “only one person understands it”, this session shows how to fix that.

“It took the architects a day and a half to solve all four use cases. They built two Data Vaults on the host application data, linked the two applications together and documented the whole process. This was impressive by any standard. After that it was an easy process to get all the documents signed.”

Daniel Seymore, Head of BI, Investec South Africa

"At seven months into the project we can say it really worked out. We have been able to really quickly develop an initial MVP for our first country and that was really good. The automation and the changes we needed to do were rapidly applied. We had to remodel a few things and that was done within a day with the automation in WhereScape."

Carsten Griefnow, Senior BI Manager

"It’s like having five people with only really two people working on it."
