Sisense – Powering customer experiences by increasing user adoption and supporting smart, quick business moves

Data technology is advancing at a rate that surpasses even the wildest dreams of industry experts, reinventing business intelligence on a daily basis. Data visualizations were just the beginning. Now, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data sharing and other complex services have become essential elements when building a robust analytics platform. The implementation of these services in a cloud analytics platform can help all companies revolutionize their data strategies.

Sisense embeds analytics seamlessly into any workflow. With Sisense, business leaders can better understand their world and gain the necessary knowledge to take action in it. Sisense goes beyond traditional business intelligence by providing organizations with the ability to infuse analytics everywhere, embedded in both customer and employee applications and workflows. Its customers are breaking through the barriers of analytics adoption by going beyond the dashboard with Sisense Fusion – the highly customizable, AI-driven analytics cloud platform, that infuses intelligence at the right place and the right time, every time. More than 2,000 global companies such as GitLab, Nasdaq, Rolls Royce, Seismic, ZoomInfo and Philips Healthcare rely on Sisense to innovate, disrupt markets and drive meaningful change in the world.

Sisense Fusion Embedded Analytics

In today’s digital economy, organizations are in a race toward digital transformation, with the fundamental goal of empowering people at every level of the organization to make data-driven decisions and to improve business outcomes. However, despite considerable and growing investment in the field of data and analytics, many organizations still struggle to drive pervasive adoption. In fact, multiple studies show that in most organizations, only a third of individuals are benefiting from existing analytics. Gartner’s research has shown that over 65% of organizations have not been able to operationalize their data science projects.

The difficulty in driving adoption and realizing the resulting return on investments is due in part to both the growing complexity of the data as well as scarcity of analytical talent. Additionally, it is critical to understand that analytics can no longer be thought of as an isolated element. It is simply not enough to have a BI application that is distinct and separate from other business applications. While reporting and dashboarding will persist for quite some time, truly transformative organizations are striving to ensure that analytics are pervasive by embedding analytics into every application and ensuring that individuals can turn insights into immediate actions directly from their analytics environments. Furthermore, analytics creates additional revenue engines and business models. White label your application and offerings to deliver that consistent look and feel. Change the icons, images, texts and email templates to suit your brand with just a few clicks. Share actionable insights and data in the productivity and collaboration tools used daily. Users unlock opportunities – without having to go to a dashboard.

Git Integration

Develop, test and release with confidence when you incorporate analytics into your agile development and CI/CD process. Best practice dictates there is source control for all elements of production software – code, libraries, APIs, and even analytics. Sisense Git Integration works seamlessly with your CI/CD and release processes allowing analytics models, dashboards, and other assets to be committed in git, just like the rest of your code. Multiple data analysts changing the same models can easily break your analytics in the applications where they are embedded. Most BI tools were not made with collaboration in mind. With Sisense Fusion you can revise models and compare diffs to work out problems. Teams can branch, commit, merge and revert changes to analytics assets to a git repository. Using Git with Sisense Fusion, you can build, test and release versioned analytics assets the same way you develop your software – with total control over branching strategy, CI/CD methodology, and release processes. And with the Sisense Fusion Git Automation API you can fully automate workflows to streamline your process. Everyone can be confident that analytics embedded into applications will continue to function as expected and enhance the customer experience.

Sisense Cloud

Scalability and agility are huge benefits of the Sisense Cloud. Add users, data and projects in a predictable and consistent way on-demand. Accelerate your projects by months and understand cost benefits up front while planning for the future.

Sisense’s containerized microservices architecture ensures that the analytics can meet higher loads and concurrency when needed. Support Auto Scale Kubernetes environments like AWS EKS and Azure AKS.
