The Demise of the Keyboard – Natural Language Technology Takeover

Sisense, a BI and analytics platform, offers an API so users can leverage Amazon’s Echo and use voice commands to widgets and dashboards to retrieve and hear numeric data as well as dashboard summaries. In reference to using natural language search for Sisense, John Loury, president of Cause + Effect Strategy and Marketing, said, “(T)he insights pulled through NLP are… still fantastic to non-analysts. If that person can interact with Alexa or a chatbot…to access insights, we should nurture that. With NLP, it’s not just analytics on demand, it’s analytics the way you want them… and the ways that are easiest to consume.”

ANALYZING 2018 GARTNER BI MAGIC QUADRANT

Sisense was “positioned in the top quartile for its vision on product strategy, which is supported by a solid development roadmap with innovative capabilities. As workforce diversity helps with innovation, it is noteworthy that more than 30% of leadership positions in Sisense are held by women, above the industry average.” Kudos. Refreshing. Rare. Gartner went on to share the vendor’s total company revenue grew by an estimated 70% for 2017, with 1,000 customer deployments. Reference customer scores also placed Sisense in the top quartile for its ethics, culture and diversity, with 100% of its references evaluating the vendor as “excellent.”

Business Intelligence: Managing Data Complexity with Analytics

With Sisense now a part of its solution, Profit Tools can offer more insights to its customers. A typical scenario would be for a customer to receive corporate profitability data that differs from the level of the previous month. “The analytics layer provided by Sisense allows our customers to find out what component costs are affecting profitability,” Widell explains. “They might find that the fuel cost is the same, but that unbilled waiting time has gone up. Then they could find out whether the drivers are being delayed at a port or rail terminal or at the customer’s facility. Once they know the cause, they can start considering options for solving the problem.”

Why Companies Aren’t Using Unified Data And BI in Their Marketing Campaigns

Why Brick And Mortar Retailers Need E-Commerce-Style Data Tracking Methods

With the help of the Sisense business intelligence platform, Erea’s dashboards are taking this seemingly intangible data and turning it into usable, actionable tips for retailers. This dashboard makes it possible to collect, analyze and employ data that improves the user experience to increase sales. A store manager can go to a management-only dashboard view and see exactly what combination of category, brand or supplier is the one with the worst results against the day before, or against the same day the year before, or any comparison timeframe desired.
