Classmethod strengthens Data Stack with Omni partnership

Classmethod just locked in a partnership with Omni Analytics and is rolling out support services for Omni, the AI-driven next-gen BI platform. This slots neatly into their Modern Data Stack play where they already lean on Snowflake and dbt to give companies a tight data foundation and a smoother path from infrastructure to hands-on business use.

The move comes as companies struggle with a familiar headache. Everyone built strong cloud data warehouses, MDS tools made data collection easier, yet the tug of war continues. Data teams want governance and clean metrics. Business teams want freedom to explore data and move fast. That clash still slows down real data adoption.

Omni positions itself exactly at that fault line. Built by ex-Looker and Stitch folks, it tries to kill the old tradeoff between governance and flexibility. Users across the org get disciplined modeling along with an interface that feels like a simple spreadsheet. Joins and calculations created in the UI get stored as a Semantic Layer in YAML, which keeps definitions consistent while still letting business users explore without breaking things. AI chips in with summaries and anomaly spotting for faster decisions.

For engineering teams, Omni ties neatly into dbt. Metrics and logic defined in Omni can be pulled into dbt models and dbt models under development can be checked inside Omni, making the whole workflow more coherent.

Classmethod is launching an Omni + dbt implementation service that takes customers from setup to daily use. Certified Omni and dbt engineers handle training, development support, standardization guidelines, documentation, Git branching strategies and weekly check-ins. The idea is simple. Build the system with the customer and make sure the use cases they defined together actually come to life.

Classmethod is also showing up as a Gold Sponsor at dbt Coalesce on the road Tokyo on December 11, 2025 at Bellesalle Shibuya First. Tech lead Sagara will walk through how Omni and dbt work together and take a deeper look at Omni’s feature set. The session runs 13:45 to 14:15 and is titled ‘We’ll make you a fan of Omni in 30 minutes An AI Ready BI tool that lets you code the clicks on the analysis screen.’
