Oestreich, James Laurence Richardson, Joao Tapadinhas Summary The business intelligence and analytics platform market's shift from IT-led reporting to modern business-led analytics is now mainstream. Data and analytics leaders face countless choices: from traditional BI vendors that have closed feature gaps and innovated, to disruptors continuing to execute. Strategic Planning Assumptions By 2020, smart, governed, Hadoop/Spark-, search- and visual-based data discovery capabilities will converge into a single set of next-generation data discovery capabilities as components of modern BI and analytics platforms. By 2021, the number of users of modern BI and analytics platforms that are differentiated by smart data discovery capabilities will grow at twice the rate of those that are not, and will deliver twice the business value. By 2020, natural-language generation and artificial intelligence will be a standard feature of 90% of modern BI platforms. By 2020, 50% of analytic queries will be generated using search, natural-language processing or voice, or will be autogenerated. By 2020, organizations that offer users access to a curated catalog of internal and external data will realize twice the business value from analytics investments than those that do not. Through 2020, the number of citizen data scientists will grow five times faster than the number of data scientists. Market Definition/Description Visual-based data discovery, a defining feature of the modern business intelligence (BI) platform, began in around 2004 and has since transformed the market and new buying trends away from IT- centric system of record (SOR) reporting to business-centric agile analytics.

  • Data3sixty® Analyze
    Data3Sixty® Analyze The Challenge The laws of supply and demand are different when it comes to data. There’s certainly no shortage of data among organizations, and the demand for the analytical insights that data can reveal has never been stronger. But the challenge lies in how quickly that raw data can be transformed into actionable and reliable business intelligence. Traditional extract, transform and load (ETL) technologies are often overly technical and cumbersome tools that drain money, time and resources, and can turn data preparation into a months-long project. And in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace, speed matters. You can’t have sluggish data preparation standing between you and timely insights. Data3Sixty® Analyze Data3Sixty Analyze provides you with the ability to process and transform data and to rapidly build data-rich, analytically complex applications, improving productivity and dramatically lowering overall costs. It allows you to access virtually any data source—from legacy systems to NoSQL platforms—and easily acquire and cleanse that data in a fraction of the time. Users can create a comprehensive source for analysis without incurring the infrastructure costs and time required by traditional data warehouses and ETL. Our approach enables data analysts, data engineers, data scientists, and other users to visually collaborate as they acquire, prepare, and analyze data from disparate sources and deliver these applications to data visualization tools, direct to end users, or back to operational systems. How it Works Data3Sixty Feature Overview Data3Sixty Analyze automates data blending and cleansing, as native functions allow users to profile, aggregate, correlate and transform selected data.
