Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
Business analysts are under immense pressure to solve business problems quickly, with increasingly larger amounts data and data sources. A new analytic stack has emerged to address their needs. As Alteryx COO George Mathew has written, the new analytic stack is about management, transparency, and user consumption. This new analytics stack is accelerating the use of sophisticated analytics to solve urgent problems quickly.
Optimum Lightpath is a great example. The business analysts were under tremendous pressure to analyze outages caused by Hurricane Sandy. They used Alteryx to gather data from a number of different sources, blend it, and run analytics processes. They then took the results and fed them into Tableau for visualization. A complete picture of storm outages emerged by combining CRM data, network system data, and to understand outage causes. A process that would have taken months to run through an IT team was accomplished within a few hours.
The sophisticated analytics in Alteryx, combined with the ability to visualize results in Tableau, is accelerating the impact of the new analytic stack. What makes this scalable is the fact that, unlike the old analytic stack, the combination of Alteryx and Tableau is affordable for every analyst.
Today we are announcing , Alteryx for Strategic Analytics specifically designed for users that want to use Alteryx and Tableau together. It provides all the data blending and analytics that Alteryx is famous for, but narrows output options to Tableau TDE file format, and a handful of others useful for Tableau users. With a price of $2,495, Alteryx for Visual Analytics is affordable for every analyst.
