Spotfire’s Enterprise Analytics Platform is used by thousands of customers to gain an information advantage over their competitors.
The visual and interactive experience of the Spotfire Analytic
Clients helps business professionals and analysts rapidly reveal
previously unseen insights in their data.
What distinguishes the Spotfire Enterprise Analytics Platform
from the previous generation of business intelligence platforms
is the speed in which it can be adapted to specific business
challenges.
The Spotfire Enterprise Analytics Platform is made up of three
major pieces, each of which contributes to the speed of adaptability
in its own way:
Guided Analytics
In its simplest form, a Guided Analytics™ application could be
a single visualization saved as a .dxp file. Each
and every Guided Analytics application is tied to and customized
around a specific process within an organization.
Spotfire Guided Analytics applications navigate users to known
places of insight and discovery, while simultaneously leaving
downstream users free to explore the data and pursue their own
questions on demand. In turn, as those users uncover new findings
and insights, they can publish and share their resulting guided
applications with a single click.
Spotfire’s unique ability to eliminate the barrier between authors
and recipients of analysis means that business users can ask
and answer their own questions on demand. This model of self-service
removes the latency that currently exists when front line business
professionals are forced to call in over-burdened support teams
of analysts and IT specialists. The direct result is faster
and better data-driven decisions being made throughout an organization.
Competing on Analytics
In order for analytics to have their maximum impact on an organization
their use must permeate throughout:
- All available data and systems that can aid decision-making,
- All functions and processes within an organization, and
- All roles and skill sets that are involved in the process.
As Guided Analytic applications shift the power to answer their
own questions to the business users, analysts and IT professionals
are freed up to focus on the higher value tasks of expanding
the reach and impact of analytics in improving decision making
within their organizations.
IT and analysts need to focus on:
- Capturing and developing standard operating procedures and best
practices for each of the processes within your organization,
- Managing information models and access,
- Integrating existing business and analytic systems,
- Broadly deploying applications, and
- Administering configurations for different user groups.
