Alteryx, Inc., the analytics automation firm, has introduced the Alteryx Analytics Cloud, its first unified end-to-end analytics automation platform that enables all users across the workplace to make better decisions with their data. Users simply need a browser to gain access to insights thanks to the availability of new Alteryx cloud solutions, which can be set up in minutes rather than days.
Alteryx's low-code/no-code features make it even easier for any user to extract insights that can help them solve their most difficult business problems.
The gravity of data is moving to the cloud, with enterprises adopting cloud data warehouses or lakes to manage increasingly massive data sets and looking for cloud-enabled analytics solutions. However, unlocking the value from their data – whether it is in the cloud or on premises – remains out of reach to many. According to an Alteryx-commissioned survey by YouGov, only 12% of workers reported having the benefit of driving business-changing outcomes through self-service analytics.
For businesses to remain competitive, they must democratise data analytics and ensure that every employee has access to insights. Alteryx is meeting this enormous market demand by combining Alteryx Designer Cloud, Alteryx Machine Learning, Alteryx Auto Insights, and Trifacta Data Engineering Cloud into the Alteryx Analytics Cloud, a single unified solution package.
“Gone are the days when only select teams could have access to analytics,” said Suresh Vittal, chief product officer of Alteryx. “As we accelerate the next phase of our cloud growth, our new innovations will bring analytics to all so every business can empower every employee – from data engineers and IT to data analysts and scientists to line of business users – to make data-informed decisions using analytics automation."
Alteryx Designer Cloud delivers the familiar Designer experience with ubiquitous access for all users
Designer Cloud enables businesses to extend the power of analytics to lines of business beyond data scientists, IT, and data and analytics departments. Designer Cloud allows any user who interacts with data to prepare, blend, and export data in a highly visual, code-free manner using a browser, including on Macs. Designer Cloud is compatible with Alteryx's popular Designer Desktop application, allowing users to seamlessly collaborate and share workflows between the two.
Users can also quicky integrate with their most used cloud applications, databases, spreadsheets, and more with cloud storage connectors available for platforms like Amazon S3, Google Drive, Office 365, and Snowflake.
Alteryx Machine Learning empowers any business user to use predictions to make smarter decisions
Alteryx Machine Learning is a cloud-native, automated modeling solution that helps business users make data-driven decisions. Instead of requiring data science experts to code machine learning models, business analysts can now quickly build, validate, iterate, and explore models with a visually guided user experience while learning about data science using Education Mode.
Alteryx Auto Insights enables everyone to derive impactful data storytelling to speed actions and decisions in the business
Alteryx Auto Insights, originally known as Hyper Anna, is a cloud-native analytics product that provides business users with AI-driven automatic insights. The solution functions similarly to a human analyst. It uncovers hidden tales, oddities, and insights in data, and produces concise summaries and explanations that are relevant across the organisation. This empowers business users to make data-driven decisions on their own, promoting data literacy throughout the organisation.
Trifacta Data Engineering Cloud helps IT and data engineering teams drive analytics transformation at cloud scale
Enterprise customers are deploying modern data architectures built upon cloud data warehouses and SaaS-based applications and analytics. With the addition of Trifacta to Alteryx Analytics Cloud, data engineers can now drive their analytics at scale and satisfy their business users' appetite for timely insights from these large cloud datasets to fuel digital transformation efforts.
“We use data for analytics to solve critical business challenges including Demand Planning. Transforming data quickly within our cloud data warehouse in a unified environment enables our teams to accomplish major goals including automated retailer level reporting on POS, and inventory and forecast planning,” said Zachary Smith, senior manager, Demand Planning CoE, Bayer Pharmaceuticals. “As we transition towards modern data approaches such as ELT with pushdown optimisation, we’re excited to adopt these capabilities from Trifacta by Alteryx and achieve greater efficiencies for our organisation.”
“Alteryx continues to strengthen its portfolio and accelerate its cloud growth through new product innovations and acquisitions,” Dan Vesset, group vice president, Analytics and Information Management, IDC. “With the launch of Alteryx Analytics Cloud, they’ll be able to truly extend the value of analytics automation and help their customers – regardless of where a user sits in an organisation – use analytics to drive their digital transformation efforts.”
“We are excited to see these new innovations from Alteryx and continuing to leverage our partnership to help organisations drive faster analytic and data science outcomes,” Tarik Dwiek, head of technology alliances, Snowflake. “We’ll be able to support the multitude of ways users prefer to work while making data management and processing flexible, scalable, and highly secure.”
