Do-it-yourself BI – powerful business intelligence from mountains of raw data to reports, dashboards and analytics in a single product!
Traditionally, the delivery of high-end business intelligence (BI) depended on large, complex software and IT staff with specialized skills. These systems, still in wide use today, require extensive data preparation and query/report coding, and take months to deploy. They are not fast and flexible when new data sources appear or when new requirements arise. This approach frequently results in frustrated business users and a shortage of strategic information when and where it is needed.
SiSense Prism’s advanced technology represents an exciting evolution of BI where:
- data preparation and mashups are quick and easy, using visual drag-and-drop tools
- new or frequently changing data sources can be easily incorporated on the fly for immediate availability
- queries, reports and dashboards can be easily created using visual drag-and-drop tools
- interactive reports and dashboards can be instantly shared among any number of users via a central, server-based data repository
- there is no need for IT involvement in data preparation, data management or report and dashboard creation
- rich, interactive data visualization and drill-down requires only a mouse
- massive amounts of data can be quickly processed using standard PC hardware
- you pay only a low monthly subscription fee for an entire BI deployment

Prism’s Technology
Columnar Data Storage
Prism stores all the data it processes in ElasticCube data repositories, which are column-based data stores containing the unified data of all combined data sources.
Just-in-Time In-Memory Processing
Prism implements a unique technological solution – just-in-time in-memory processing – which leverages all the benefits of in-memory databases while eliminating the inherent scalability limits and pre-processing requirements.
Elastic Data Structure
The incredible ease with which disparate data sources can be combined in Prism’s visual data management user interface is made possible by the automated,
multi-dimensional data schema technology running behind the scenes.
Unified Analytics Engine
Prism can execute queries against a wide variety of data sources as if they were all of the same type, essentially making the individual characteristics of each physical data source unimportant. This is made possible by Prism’s Unified Analytics Engine.
