The need for Self-service data analytics is inevitable as it supports the business in making the right decisions.In this paper, we argue that self-service analytics frameworks should be based on a process-centric approach and visualized selfservice components in order to meet current business demands.Further, we enunciate the need for mainly three components: Map component, Process Flow component and a Control Model component.Furthermore, we explain the architecture of a self-service analytics framework based on these components.Some parts of the proposed framework were deployed to different sites and are discussed in detail in this paper.The obtained results showed a clear enhancement of data warehouse operation spent from the IT departments' side compared to the traditional BI architecture.
