I recently had the pleasure of attending the Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit in Las Vegas. Together with over 2,000 attendees, I heard Gartner analysts cover the latest market trends, which included the growing importance of self-service analytics capabilities.

 

Alteryx received many positive mentions throughout the conference. Rita Sallam ran a data preparation session where Alteryx was positioned as the only vendor who fits into all three types of self-service data preparation models: stand-alone, integrated with BI/data discovery, and integrated with advanced analytics platforms.

 

Analysts Josh Parenteau and Gareth Herschel walked attendees through the results of the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrants on Business Intelligence and Analytics Platforms and Advanced Analytics Platforms.

 

Alteryx finished favorably, and was the only company who was named as a "Visionary"in both reports. You can download a free copy of their 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Advanced Analytics Platforms here.

 

Our Alteryx booth saw heavy foot traffic, with inquiries from many attendees who were interested in use case examples and demos on data blending and advanced analytics. From higher education to CPG, retail and financial services, booth visitors crossed not only industries but departments and roles as well. Analysts and LOB decision makers from marketing, operations and finance stopped by, in addition to those from IT who are supporting the move towards self-service analytics within their own organizations.

 

Mike Setticasi, Director of Business Development at Alteryx, also gave two presentations in the Qlik booth, discussing the benefits of using Alteryx and Qlik together to a packed audience. After both of Michael's presentations we had a steady stream of folks stopping by the Alteryx booth for more in-depth demos as a result of these presentations.

 

I'm looking forward to the 2016 BI & Analytics Summit, being held March 18-20 at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas. We'll be a Platinum sponsor, and I hope you'll block the time on your calendar now and make plans to join us in the Lone Star State.
