Recently Paul Ross (VP of Product and Industry Marketing) shared the news about our Alteryx Strategic Analytics 8.0 release. There’s lot of great new functionality with the latest version – but how do you put it into context for your business? In this great whiteboard video, we help you understand the question ‘Why Alteryx? and why the Analytics Gallery matters?’.
For us, the emergence of BI in the cloud represents a huge opportunity to dramatically scale the sharing and consumption of analytics. It shouldn’t be about “just” saving $$$ by shifting deployment to a BI vendor. You may save money as you shift from a very expensive outlay to a slightly cheaper one, but that still doesn’t address how difficult or cumbersome it can be to create or share analytics applications. In response, many of you have started to adopt Cloud BI platforms for compelling visualization and data mining. But these platforms can be challenging to use if you still need to do sophisticated analytics with large, multiple and diverse data sets.
The Alteryx Analytics Gallery moves beyond traditional and cloud-based BI, building upon our years of experience with “web-based” analytics. It enables you and your business to be the first to take advantage of the consumerization of analytics in the cloud. We make it as easy to browse and run analytic applications at work, as the applications you’re used to using at home. That requires three key capabilities to make the cloud work for your business and your business users:
- Closing the gap between the analysts and the line-of-business users, with a consumer-ready experience that issimple and engaging.
- Building analytic applications quickly, without the need for extensive coding or a Ph.D in statistics.
- Access to all available data, whether it’s on your desktop, in corporate data stores (including Hadoop), or even in the cloud (for instance in salesforce.com or on Amazon’s S3 service).
See for yourself – check out the whiteboard video today. Then log in to gallery.alteryx.com, register for free, and get ready to experience and share Cloud BI in a fundamentally better way than you ever thought possible.
