Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
Today was another milestone in our quest to Humanize Big Data Analytics with the announcement by our President & COO, George Mathew, of the upcoming release of Alteryx Strategic Analytics 8.5.
 |
The release will be available in April 2013 and with Alteryx Strategic Analytics 8.5 we’re putting Big Data and Customer Analytics where they have the most value. We put analytics in hands of the business and business analysts, not locked way in IT megaprojects, or hidden away on the desktops of specialist users. We are providing a product that is purpose built for the data artisan.
So what are the highlights of this release?
We all know that there’s a tremendous amount of potential value in data from social media sources like Twitter, Yelp and Foursquare but how do you actually start to use it? In Alteryx 8.5 integrated social media tools let you inject that data into analytic workflows. Alteryx makes it easy to for you to generate actionable understanding of customer wants, needs and behavior. We help you to put customer Big Data into any analytic application.
How do you make analytics useful for the business user? Serve it up in the way they want it. Uniquely we are also the first analytics platform to offer native output through of the Tableau Data Extract format. Tableau has become as default a file format as Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint. If you’re taking advantage of Tableau’s advanced data discovery and visualization but need to get past roadblocks like the need to handle large, diverse and messy datasets, or the need for sophisticated analytics, we can make the integration of Alteryx and Tableau that much easier and faster. We are also delivering an updated connector to the Teradata data warehouse that enables faster read/write, plus have improved our support for Teradata Aster’s analytic capabilities.
Finally Alteryx Strategic Analytics 8.5 makes it easy to create and consume analytics. Why settle for complicated coding, or force users to figure out how to use sophisticated analytics? 8.5 introduces a modern intuitive user experience for Data Artisans and business decision makers. The new Alteryx Designer Desktop interface has been greatly simplified and augmented so that creating analytic applications has never been easier. And the new interactive mapping functionality makes it as easy for users to consume sophisticated mapping-focused analytics. We continue to add new predictive and statistical tools including Market Basket Analysis and A/B Testing among others in this release.
All of these enhancements are linked to continued consumerization of analytics, making both production and consumption of application as easy as the apps people use at home.
Alteryx Strategic Analytics 8.5 makes it easy to put Big Data and Customer Analytics to work for your business. Interested in getting a “sneak” preview? Contact your local Account Exec or contact us directly and get ready to innovate!
