# Getting Started

## 💛 Welcome to Soal

Soal is the first data operations platform. Data teams are plagued by ad-hoc requests that drain resources and complicate the team's value-add to the organization's bottom line.
Soal cuts down on the repeated work associated with these requests and boosts the data team's ROI, with the analytics to prove it.

<br />
