Even on Day One of Inspire 2011: Alteryx Community conference, Joe Francica was seeing an event that was "widely different than any other geospatial technology conference" he'd ever attended... and as Editor-in-Chief of DirectionsMag.com, Joe has attended hundreds of such events.
Read Joe's March 7th and March 9th posts on DirectionsMag's All Points Blog for his take on the Alteryx approach to geographic business intelligence. His second post also includes newly-announced details of the Alteryx Product Roadmap for 6.0 and 7.0.
Disclosure: DirectionsMag, sometimes described as "the most complete coverage of all things location," was one of six sponsors of Inspire 2011. Alteryx appreciates DirectionsMag's support.
