Spotfire Analytics Server allows you to centrally configure and administer Guided Analytics Applications.
In order to fulfill the promise of Guided Analytics to enable
an enterprise to make better and faster data-driven decisions
and compete on analytics, usage must cross functional, role
and data asset boundaries.
The Spotfire Analytics Server provides the platform for analysts
and IT to perform the integration with existing information
infrastructure and capture the analytic best practices that
enable downstream business users to generate insights and make
decisions without being bogged down with the behind the scenes
complexities of getting the right data and tools to them when
they need it the most.
The Spotfire Analytics Server enables all of the configuration
and integration required to deploy the right set of solutions
throughout the entire enterprise to be centrally managed, secured
and deployed.
Key Features and Benefits
As a centrally managed platform for distributing data and analytic
solutions, the Spotfire Analytic Server is a prerequisite for
deployment of enterprise analytics across multiple user communities.
The configured solutions can be extended by integrating with
existing data sources, statistical computation engines, third
party applications, or any kind of custom components. The platform
makes it easy to maintain, distribute and upgrade applications
for your user communities. The applications and the components
are managed through a common security, permission and meta-model
system.
The Spotfire Analytics Server:
- Simplifies query and retrieval from multiple external data sources
- Distribute and administer complete analytic solutions
- Integrate Spotfire into your existing information and analytics
infrastructure, not vice versa
- Process data with configured procedures in your preferred computational
engines
- Extend and control the server platform through standards-based
Web Services APIs
- Secure your solutions, data, and analyses
