Background

A business insights team at a Fortune 5 technology company was not getting the value it needed from its enterprise analytics and visualization solution. The packaged application-builder had proved cumbersome for the development of internal applications, as each app required additional coding to implement the desired access control. In addition, although the suite offered wide-ranging functionality, a considerable portion of it was under- or unutilized by the organization. These drawbacks, combined with the solution’s high annual licensing fee, motivated the team to find an alternative. After looking at a variety of other packaged offerings and speaking with vendors that could deliver custom solutions, the team chose to work with Starschema.

Fast, Customized Data Visualizations Using Reportal

A global technology-focused investment management firm launched an initiative to upgrade their BI toolset. The team identified two key areas for improvement: visualizations were taking too long to display the requested information and the limited feature set made it impossible to build charts with the desired level of customization.

Improving Time-to-Insight with Elements for Tableau

At a Fortune 5 technology company, whenever Tableau users noticed data inconsistencies and irregularities, they had to go through a cumbersome process of going all the way back to the source of the data to question and update it. To reduce time-to-insight, they wanted to be able to write back to the data source, annotate the data and discuss the data point directly from the Tableau dashboard itself.
