How Cresco International and Denodo Deliver the Future of Data, AI, and Analytics
Modern enterprises are drowning in data, yet starving for insight. As organizations migrate to hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems, data becomes increasingly fragmented across warehouses, lakes, SaaS systems, legacy ERPs, and unstructured repositories. The result is a landscape full of silos, broken pipelines, inconsistent governance, and operational inefficiencies that block AI and analytics programs from scaling.
This blog explains how Cresco International https://www.cresco-international.com leveraging the Denodo Logical Data Fabric https://www.denodo.com transforms this chaos into clarity. The goal is simple: deliver trusted, governed, real-time data to every business function, every application, and every AI model without the complexity of data movement.
This is the new paradigm of data.
Logical. Governed. Real-time. AI-ready.
THE CRESCO–DENODO VISION
A Unified Logical Architecture for an AI-Driven Enterprise
The shared Cresco–Denodo proposition revolves around a powerful idea:
Organizations no longer need to move data to use data.
Denodo’s Logical Data Fabric (LDF) https://www.denodo.com/en/platform/logical-data-fabric creates a semantic, metadata-driven fabric that connects every enterprise system—cloud or on-premise—into a centralized, governed access layer.
Cresco International turns this foundation into outcomes by designing data products, AI pipelines, analytics platforms, governance frameworks, and automation ecosystems that accelerate enterprise transformation.
Together, this delivers:
- Faster integration
- Stronger governance
- Lower cloud and ETL costs
- Scalable enterprise AI adoption
DEEP DIVE: THE LOGICAL DATA FABRIC (LDF)
Understanding the Architecture and Its Business Impact
- Data Virtualization: Integration Without Replication
Denodo’s Data Virtualization https://www.denodo.com/en/platform/data-virtualization integrates distributed systems without physically copying or moving data.
Benefits:
- No physical data movement
- Reduced storage duplication
- Near real-time access
- Rapid project delivery
- Lower maintenance
This replaces months of ETL work with days of logical modeling.
- The Semantic Layer: The Brain of the Data Fabric
This layer defines business terms, KPIs, relationships, and logic in one place, and exposes them everywhere.
Benefits:
- A unified business vocabulary
- Consistent analytics across BI tools
- Accurate KPIs
- Strong compliance & governance

Denodo’s cost-based optimizer executes sub-queries at the most efficient location.
Capabilities:
- MPP optimization
- Parallel query execution
- Predicate pushdown
- Source-side acceleration
This ensures high performance even across distributed and siloed systems
