Slalom ConsultingIt’s 3pm on a Thursday night. You completed almost all your work with only one more analysis left to send out before you head to dinner with family and friends. You start by extracting your reports from your Business Intelligence system and importing them into an Access Database for preparation. All the preparation steps have been automated in Access, so once it finishes the process all you will need to do is create that pivot table and head out. Easy enough!

 

Approximately 2 hours into your data preparation process, you look at your Access database and notice a little box. To your dismay, the Access database has run out of memory and abruptly stopped your preparation process. It’s time to once again cancel your dinner plans and restart your analysis.

 

Does this sound familiar? Believe it or not, you are not the only individual facing this daily struggle. For over a decade now, analysts have been equipped with traditional analysis tools, such as Access and Excel. Although very functional, today’s data volumes and complexities have outgrown those tools, leaving analysts frustrated with the inability to complete their daily work in a reasonable amount of time.

 

Enter a new decade, where a robust data preparation and analytics tool has emerged. Alteryx enables you to directly connect to the data you need and perform complex data preparation and analyses, so you can find the strategic insights you are looking for in minutes instead of hours. It can easily adapt to increasing data volumes, eliminating the need to rework your analytics process or settle for a partial view of your business. If these time savings sound good, imagine experiencing the following:

 

  • A weekly 3-4 hour fraud analysis completing in just 3 minutes - That’s enough time left to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
  • A 6 month multi-person analysis no longer needing your or your team's attention - Imagine everything that you can do in 6 months!
  • Your Tableau dashboards rendering 60% faster - That’s over 3 hours of time savings every work day.

 

These are just a few examples of improvements we have seen when a client adopted Alteryx. Imagine what you will do with the additional hours received back every day. Imagine making it to dinner with your family and friends every week. Imagine loving your work again, because you have the power to do more, to do it better, and in a fraction of the time!
