Pyramid Analytics is an enterprise-grade Decision Intelligence Platform that unifies data preparation, business analytics, and data science in a single, browser-based environment — eliminating the need to stitch together separate tools for modeling, visualization, and distribution. Acquired by ServiceNow in March 2026, the platform is positioned as a governance-first alternative to fragmented BI stacks, powering everything from ad hoc exploration to pixel-perfect report bursting and embedded analytics at scale. The key mental model for Pyramid is that every module — Discover, Present, Illustrate, Publish, Model, Formulate, and the data science workbench — shares a single governed semantic layer and content management system, so calculations and data access rules defined once propagate everywhere automatically.
