Business intelligence platform provider Domo Inc. today announced a new product called Sandbox that offers a development and testing environment built on the Domo platform.

Domo Sandbox is designed to help customers more easily create and promote content into production across the enterprise. The company says Sandbox adds to its growing list of enterprise-strength capabilities that help customers more easily solve challenges that are common with the increased demand for large-scale BI and analytics deployments.

Using Sandbox, data professionals and business users now have a safe and governed space to collaborate and test before unleashing new business intelligence-related content into production. Domo says that the ability ensures a smoother rollout and a higher level of trust and satisfaction.

Covering data governance, the Sandbox functionality ensures data and content remains safe by building upon the core governance capabilities of Domo’s modern BI platform, such as personalized data permissions, certifications and dynamic groups.

The new features are pitched as helping companies hiring more data-driven decision-makers who need more data that in turn needs to be managed, integrated and governed.

Through Domo, features such as Adrenaline DataFlows, Magic ETL and Domo’s portfolio of enterprise-strength governance reduce the burden on customers by automating time-intensive, complicated tasks, so they have more time to help the business drive forward with data.

“Sandbox is a natural evolution of our platform’s enterprise-scale capabilities,” Jay Heglar, chief business officer at Domo, said in a statement. Heglar noted that the service was developed in response to customers asking for more software development lifecycle support, particularly as they build out more content such as apps to serve an increasing number of use cases across the business. “With Sandbox, the Domo platform gives customers the industry’s first integrated experience to build, test and deploy,” Heglar added.
