Original Press Release:
Spotfire Introduces Broadcast Services for its Next Generation Business Intelligence Platform
IT and business professionals can easily publish and automatically distribute interactive reports and guided analyses to hundreds or thousands of co- workers, partners, and customers
SOMERVILLE, Mass., May 14 -- Spotfire, Inc. (http://www.spotfire.com/), the Information Insight Company(SM), today announced Broadcast Services, which deliver the power of the Spotfire DXP 2.0 enterprise analytics platform to a wider base of decision-makers with more speed and flexibility than traditional business intelligence. The addition of Broadcast Services allows Spotfire DXP users to self-publish analyses, automatically generate updated files as the data changes, and broadcast the files to internal and external audiences more easily than ever before.
With Spotfire DXP enterprise analytics, business users can directly author and publish their own personalized analytic applications and interactive reports. The introduction of Spotfire Broadcast Services automates the update of the underlying data and the distribution to internal or external business users. Updates to analyses can occur on schedule or as the underlying data changes. Recipients can receive these "broadcasted" analyses and interactive reports via email link, offline analysis file, or corporate portal. They can then interact with the analysis, asking and answering their own new questions with flexibility. Unlike the reports from typical Business Intelligence systems, Spotfire analyses are completely interactive and allow users to freely ask new questions on-the-fly without being limited to what was preconfigured for them.
"Broadcast Services takes the deployment of enterprise analytics to the next level, making it easier than ever for business professionals to share insights and improve decision-making capabilities with communities of colleagues" said Mark Lorion, Director of Product Marketing at Spotfire. "We expect many departments across the organization to leverage this new capability. As an example, sales managers can automatically receive a customized analytics application in their email inbox while out in the field. They can review the analysis and immediately ask and answer subsequent questions, such as testing various customer targeting and sales force deployment options."
Accommodating a range of users, a range of applications
One single Spotfire guided analysis application delivers the equivalent of dozens or hundreds of typical Business Intelligence reports and dashboards. By interactively filtering and querying data, users can instantly answer their own questions and generate new insights without laboring through countless reporting screens. IT organizations will deliver greater value to business users while reducing requests for new reports and custom applications.
Broadcast Services offer several benefits to IT, including:
-- Eliminating "spreadmarts" of data by providing a platform that supports a broad range of users with unique skill, data and workflow needs,
-- Leveraging existing information investments by enabling business users to get better returns from them,
-- Enabling configurable, role-based applications that are centrally managed for distribution throughout the enterprise.
"Today's knowledge workers need fast, powerful, yet easy-to-use analytics to speed and improve their decision-making," said Lorion. "Spotfire Broadcast Services help users across the organization easily adopt analytics as a core competency."
