A strong work environment can separate the winners from the flounders, according to a 2019 survey. In fact, the country’s thriving small businesses credit success to intangibles like an entrepreneur’s grit and how hard employees work.

Here’s the results from the latest salary survey by job-hunting website Comparably, which compiled data from 10 million ratings across 50,000 U.S. companies. Most employees (82%) at the large companies on the list said they felt they were paid fairly at work compared to 94% of workers at the top smaller companies. By contrast, 47% of all the workers surveyed by Comparably say they feel as though they are fairly compensated.

Sisense Reaches New Security Standards With ISO 27001 Compliance,  Continues Investments in Protecting and Securing Customer Data

– Sisense has achieved a series of new security compliance standards that will provide its customers with the highest levels of protection for their data. Sisense and Periscope Data both achieved ISO 27001 compliance, the internationally recognized standard for information security programs. ISO 27001 is a systematic approach to managing sensitive information and assets so they remain secure. Certifying to ISO 27001 validates that the governance and oversight of information security management has been confirmed to keep customer information at a high level of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

For the fourth annual year, the Forbes Cloud 100, produced in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures, recognizes the best private cloud companies in the world.

Ayantek, a digital strategy and solutions firms, announced today it was recently named the “Top Partner in America for 2019” by Sisense in recognition of its outstanding achievement in delivering Sisense BI and analytics solutions to clients.

Last week, analytics player Sisense issued a press release, touting the fact that it had fully re-architected its software, citing massive gains in delivery, reliability and scalability. This endeavor was no small task for Sisense, since the vendor had built its original solution directly on top of a predominantly on-premises rendition of Microsoft Windows. This was a wise move for Sisense, which specialises in embedded analytics, where its partners and customers take features from Sisense and drop them into their line of business solutions. Clearly for Sisense (and for many ISVs) the cost of re-architecting and thereby modernising its software via microservices will be worthwhile in the long run.

There’s both a moral and a business imperative to building and fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce. Hear from Project Include’s Ellen Pao and Tracy Chou about what it takes to get there, and from Harry Glaser, general manager and CMO of Sisense, on how focusing on diversity has positively impacted his bottom line.

The Q3 2019 release is highlighted by new AI-driven augmented analytics, a cloud-native architecture, DevOps tools, and more than 40 certified data connectors.

Sisense is launching a new round of updates to its flagship BI and data analytics product, according to a press release on the company’s website. The Q3 2019 release is highlighted by new AI-driven augmented analytics, a cloud-native architecture, DevOps tools, and more than 40 certified data connectors.

Sisense unveiled its Q3 2019 product updates, including AI-driven innovations designed to empower users to answer questions they didn’t know they had, a multi-cloud architecture to deploy analytics at scale, and critical features to empower data engineers, product developers, business analysts, and business users.

“The number one key to a successful merger is the people and culture. Over the last 18 months, we’ve made sure that we have the right people — and we do — and that we’re all aligned on what it takes to build a great company.”

SoftwareWorld provides you the leading names of business intelligence software companies who offer the top BI software in the market.

Sisense was named a business intelligence (BI) leader as part of the 2019 Dresner Advisory Services Industry Excellence Awards. Sisense was recognized as an “Overall Experience Leader” in BI, based on its customer ranking in the 2019 Wisdom of Crowds BI market study.

Sisense was named among the 2019 top 25 large companies in Scottsdale, AZ!

On the latest episode of the Global Connected Aircraft podcast, I spoke with Air Canada’s Shaul Shalev and Sisense CEO Amir Orad about how airlines can use data analytics to improve the way they analyze, process and communicate data points and information about their flight operations and overall organizational workflows.

“Sisense offers an integrated analytics and BI platform, covering the entire workflow — from data collection to storage — on a self-contained in-memory columnar database, with in-chip processing, visual data exploration, dashboards and recently added embedded advanced analytics features,”

“As individuals, we should learn a hard lesson and teach that to our kids,” says Amir Orad, CEO of SiSense, “Whatever you store online will probably get hacked one day, so be smart and selective about it.”

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) announced the top three vendors in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning in business intelligence platforms. The Top 3 business intelligence platforms in the use of AI enablement: Sisense, Tellius & ThoughtSpot.

“Sisense processes data a lot faster compared to many other similar BI tools. With this solution, you can leverage all of your data quickly and grow your business faster and better as a result.”

SoftwareReviews has published its 2019 Business Intelligence (BI) Emotional Footprint Awards, naming Sisense as one of its six “Champions” and gold medalists in the space.

Sisense and Periscope Data are two of the more technology forward BI providers in the space, and though the May announcementfirst came as a surprise, we believe it to be a great match. Sisense has seen its star rise considerably in the crowded BI marketplace since CEO Amir Orad took over in February of 2015. As a result of the deal, Periscope Data founders Harry Glaser and Tom O’Neill and their teams are taking leadership roles in the combined business, which will operate under the Sisense brand.

“In terms of what this means for the evolution of AI, we’ve reached a point where we have more than enough anonymized data to train the system, and now it’s a matter of honing how we use the AI to extract the maximum value from data”—Amir Orad, CEO, Sisense

Periscope Data by Sisense picked up several awards this week in recognition of its strong company culture. The company was ranked by Comparably.com as one of the top companies in the U.S. in several categories, including the best CEOs for women, best CEOs for diverse employees and best leadership team among small and mid-sized businesses. The company was also named No. 8 on the Bay Area News Group “Top Workplaces” list.

Compensation, culture and career monitoring website Comparably, which released a list of the top-ranked CEOs for diversity on Tuesday based on ratings from a pool of ethnically diverse employees.

One issue which is growing in prominence at present is the idea of embedded BI, which Sisense explains as the idea of adding analytics into existing applications. It is seen as a good way to keep things simple and offer a straightforward user experience, while Sisense adds that it believes its use will only grow in the years ahead with the rise of the Internet of Things and wearable devices. Could this be an option for your company?

In May, Sisense, a business analytics software provider, merged with Periscope Data, a data visualization platform, with the goal of offering customers “a unified, end-to-end data science and business intelligence platform.”

BI specialists such as Sisense now offer scalable white label solutions as standard with their embedded analytics systems. With this advanced yet easy-to-implement technology, companies ultimately save themselves a lot of time, effort and investment compared with the task of building their own branded data architecture from scratch.

Sisense’s website and brand design are impeccable. The prominent yellow branding makes them stand out in a crowded business analytics market and it showcases their sense of fun. Their blog explains complicated business analytics concepts in an accessible way and they have plenty of advocates amplifying their message on social media. They keep things as light as a B2B company can with a clean and aesthetic website design, clear messaging, and a modern, edgy style. It’s all you could want for a BI platform.

With businesses around the country and the world facing continual disruption, technological tools are increasingly crucial to the success of established enterprises and start-ups alike. Which tools can you rely on? Working with Statista Inc., the globally recognized data research company, Newsweek has produced an authoritative list of America’s Best Business Tools.

Sisense CEO Amir Orad told InformationWeek that these acquisitions are very much about big cloud vendors looking to own data and data assets. “If they own the data, they own the future of the market,” he said. They will also have the power to provide greater integration of these analytics acquisitions with their own platforms than they do with the platforms of competitors. “Everyone officially says that they will continue to support data from outside their cloud. I don’t think they are lying,” he said. “But if you are Salesforce, do you invest as much into integration with Salesforce and with Microsoft Dynamics equally?”

Sisense has announced a new cloud-native Linux architecture of its analytics platform called Cloud-Native Sisense. The release is part of a series of product updates announced at the Sisense Eureka! customer conference and aimed at helping Sisense users to simplify complex data. Cloud-Native Sisense integrates with infrastructure to enable quicker delivery, scalability, and native DevOps support.

NEW YORK, June 11, 2019 (Newswire.com) – ​​​Sisense, the world’s leading modern platform for analytics builders, kicked off its second annual customer conference, Sisense Eureka!, with a series of product innovations designed to help developers, data scientists and business analysts simplify complex data and provide insights to everyone across a business.

Buck today launched bEquipped™, a digital-first analytics offering designed to bring its clients — and its people — a comprehensive view of financial, workforce, healthcare, diversity, and engagement data. Buck partnered with Sisense, a business intelligence provider, to advance its digital workplace offerings and redefine what people analytics means in the HR and benefits industry.

Big tech players are “snapping up data analytics companies with big price tags,” said Amir Orad, chief executive of Sisense Inc., which develops technology that speeds and simplifies the analysis of large, complex data sets. “Looker clearly demonstrates the value these companies have in the larger cloud ecosystem,” Mr. Orad said.

In a larger sense, this multibillion-dollar cloud data acquisition is unsurprising when considering the significance of the cloud in the coming years, according to Amir Orad, CEO of Sisense, a business analytics company that last month made a similar acquisition of data science platform Periscope Data. “Companies must get on the cloud, or they will die,” Orad told PitchBook. “I know that sounds harsh, but that’s the reality. The future is in data. … Data is the new oil, and people have fought wars over oil.”

The tenth anniversary edition of the Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence Market Study offers a wide array of market and user trending – providing a valuable assessment of the state of the market.

The issue was handed over to Cause + Effect, an analytics-driven marketing agency, to look into. By using Sisense’ss data analytics platform, they were able to discover a marketing approach that appealed to the sort of audience that they had previously been missing out on. In the case of the PGA Seniors events, this process brought up the possible benefits of introducing a younger crowd with more contemporary tastes, as well as more female audience members. Part of the eventual solution was to put more of a focus on the food and social aspects of the 2019 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship at Oak Hill, in Rochester in May.

Israeli business intelligence software provider Sisense said it acquired Periscope Data, a U.S. provider of analytics for cloud data professionals.

The New York City-based Business Intelligence and Analytics leader Sisense has announced that it will be merging with San Francisco-based Periscope Data. The merger will see Sisense acquire Periscope Data’s assets, people, and overall business operations.

With the acquisition, Sisense will surpass the $100 million mark in annual recurring revenue.

Sisense has merged with analytics software provider Periscope Data in a deal that will see Sisense acquire Periscope Data’s assets, employees and business operations. Founded in 2012 and based in San Francisco, Periscope Data was valued at $100 million in 2016 with a $25 million Series B from investors including Bessemer Venture Partners and Susa Ventures.

Periscope Data offers an analytics platform geared toward more technically savvy users. The startup has built out extensive data integration features that provide the ability to combine information from multiple sources into a single dashboard. A marketing team, for instance, could create a report that displays Google Ads performance metrics alongside statistics about a company’s Facebook and Twitter presence.

“I realized over the last 18 months [as we spoke] that we’re actually building leadership positions into two unique areas of the market that will slowly become one as industries and technologies evolve,” Sisense CEO Amir Orad told TechCrunch.

Sisense, the leader in empowering analytic builders to simplify complex data and provide insights to everyone, today announced its merger with Periscope Data, the world’s leading analytics platform for cloud data professionals. Sisense delivers deep expertise in mashing up disparate data sets, building and embedding analytic apps and intuitive data exploration. Companies like GE and Nasdaq rely on Sisense to build operational analytics applications. Periscope Data is used by sophisticated data experts in organizations like Tinder and Flexport for advanced analytics and data science in the cloud.

Sisense #3: “In the last year, (Sisense) was bolstered by a revolution overtaking the business world, which on the one hand is aware of the huge amounts of data accumulating in its systems, and on the other hand, understands that its ability to leverage this data are limited. Sisense wants to bridge that gap via a cloud-based… platform that uses artificial intelligence… to analyze organizational data.”

For the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv next month, Israeli business intelligence and analytics startup Sisense has developed a platform that makes a lot of interesting information about the contest accessible to surfers, using the vast amount of data gathered over the decades during which the contest has been held.

Sisense partners with Amplifi, a leading strategy and information management consultancy that works with some of the world’s largest brands, to help extend analytical insights.

A CDO’s most important job is identifying opportunities to monetize data across an enterprise, and then activate them. The good ones start adding value to their organizations fairly quickly, and turn traditional cost centers into lucrative profit centers in the first 100 days of their tenure.

Sisense is about constant innovation and customer delight – and we do exactly that. Over the past 12 months, for example, we have introduced 3 key innovations, each of them radically changing the way analytics can and should be engaged.

Users can receive automatic alerts for their most important KPIs, and mobile alerts on the go. They can also use the Sisense Boto chatbot to learn about the data or their Amazon Echo to ask Alexa for real-time responses to any questions.

Sisense improves position on the ability to execute axis in the Visionaries quadrant compared to the previous year.

CB Insights, a firm that tracks start-ups, analyzed a variety of data to create a list of 50 private companies around the world that are on a path to a $1 billion valuation.

In collaboration with the New York Times, we put together a list of 50 future unicorns (companies that we think will eventually be valued at $1B or more).

Technology companies too are making their software available to better understand how the office is impacting productivity. This year, analytics company Sisense and data collector Measuremen announced a partnership to analyze use and efficiency for European e-commerce company Bol.com’s new office in Amsterdam.

On the analytics front, we are pleased to announce our new People Analytics platform leveraging Sisense technology. This platform allows our clients to see the spectrum of health, wealth, career and engagement data in one place, and to make informed business decisions across it. Buck’s data lake gathers all interaction and transaction data and marries it with all other available internal & external benchmark data. Predictive services, such as anticipating who will leave the organization based on retirement readiness analytics, allow our consultants to provide insights and guidance from our clients’ data.

Sisense simplifies business analytics for complex data by providing a complete solution for preparing, analyzing and visualizing big data.

An electronics manufacturer which has deployed a data cognition engine managed to replace a 6 gigabyte data set containing 2 billion records with hundreds of columns which required 30 minutes to query, with a 2 megabyte data cognition engine. This data cognition brain can answer questions and provide its “hunches” at 99% accuracy or better and within 0.1 millisecond. This represents a 30,000x reduction in storage needs and 18,000,000x speed improvement.

We will be attending AWS: ReInvent, stop by the booth to learn how Sisense’s powerful analytics solution can instantly give you the visibility and answers needed to make smarter, faster business decisions.

Amir Orad, who currently serves as CEO of the Big Data analytics startup Sisense, views things with a slightly different twist. He thinks that cybersecurity, data analytics and fraud prevention are a sort of triangle and that many of the good startup companies today combine at least two sides of the triangle if not all three.

(W)hat frequently holds back an enterprise from becoming a true data-driven business is lack of well-vetted data scientists for performing and interpreting sophisticated data analytics. This is what drove Sisense to build a business intelligence solution that is simple to use and easy to comprehend. Sisense simplifies business analytics by reducing the reliance on scarce, specialized IT skills and empowering individual business users.

In September, business intelligence startup Sisense Ltd. announced it has raised $80 million, bringing the company’s total equity funding to around $200 million. The same month, automated medical diagnosis startup MeMed Diagnostics Ltd. announced Thursday it completed a $70 million funding round.

“Sisense takes a radically different approach to business analytics. The company’s obsessive commitment to consistent product innovation and customer success enable organizations to instantly reveal insights from complex data.”

Teddie Wardi, Principal at Insight Venture Partners, chats with Amir Orad, CEO of Sisense, about his entrepreneurial background and how their team will utilize this recent investment to continue growing the business globally.

The DFJ-backed analytics startup today unveiled Hunch, an artificial intelligence engine that it claims can condense large datasets into a size manageable even for connected devices. The software does so by creating a neural network that acts as a stand-in, taking up only megabytes of space for every terabyte of information being substituted.

The new Sisense Hunch product represents a “new class of big data analytics” that can be applied to applications that were previously impossible on the Internet of Things, due to its latency, power, storage, and cost challenges.

Sisense’s Boto is a bit different. The free chatbot works across Facebook Messenger, Skype and Slack. Users access Boto simply by adding it to their contact list and using a drag-and-drop interface to upload data the bot can automatically analyze.

Business analytics platform Sisense has raised $80M in Series E funding from investors that include Bessemer Venture Partners, Battery Ventures, Insight Venture Partners, Genesis Partners, Opus Capital, and DFJ Growth.

Sisense today announced that it has expanded its global footprint with the opening of a new office in London to accelerate its European growth. The move follows significant client growth in the UK and globally, driven by increased demand for full-stack analytics solutions and a growing need for agile data-driven insights.

Sisense is at the forefront of “self-service” business intelligence by giving businesses total control over data and the ability to add datasets and analyze them without the need for dedicated data scientists. The service can even extract key data points and insights from IoT devices like smart light bulbs and Amazon’s Alexa.

Sisense, whose technology enables non-technical people in businesses to connect multiple data sources and prepare professional reports, said Thursday it raised $50 million in one of the biggest fundraisings ever by an Israeli startup.

Business analytics is one of the hottest B2B sectors, and business intelligence company Sisense has $80M more in its war chest to prove it. The newly announced funding, led by New York based Insight Venture Partners, brings Sisense’s total funding to date to around $200M. That strategic versatility, which is data-agnostic and plug-and-play, is the new normal in business analytics, and it’s giving rise to some novel applications. One of Sisense’s clients, Captis Intelligence, has been using the company’s hybrid-cloud analytics to extract insights from publicly accessible social media feeds and posts on the unindexed deep web about crimes and credible threats to safety, including in schools. Captis calls its analytics tool PRISM and uses Sisense for its data digesting and to run the analysis.

CEO Amir Orad says investors like their mission of simplifying complex data with analytics and business intelligence and delivering it in whatever way makes sense. That could be on screens throughout the company, desktop or smartphone, or via Amazon Alexa. “We found a way to make accessing data extremely simple, mashing it together in a logical way and embedding it in every logical place,” he explained.

In the past year, the company also raised a previously unannounced sum of $20 million, bringing the company’s overall equity funding to $200 million

If there’s one word to describe business analytics software company Sisense, it’s “big” — big data, big clients, and now, a big round of funding. The company just announced it raised an $80 million Series E, with participation from Insight Venture Partners, Battery Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, DFJ Venture Capital, Genesis Partners and Opus Capital.

Sisense today announced that it had been given top-honors by three separate groups: Dresner Advisory Services (“Dresner”), JMP Securities LLC (“JMP Securities”), and FinancesOnline.

For the moment, the human element is a necessary one; the technological limitations of AI means that it’s not yet ready to infer small subtleties in the sales interaction — things like mood, tone and sarcasm, for example. Functionality aside, there’s also the negative association with automation in a luxury setting. For an affluent, frequent customer, a single call to a service line that reaches the automated phone tree might be enough to scotch the brand experience. To be sure, as consumers become more comfortable with the technology, especially as more and more millennials reach a point of affluence, humans may no longer be a requisite part of the mix. For now we better augment humans rather than replace them.

“An increasing number of service businesses are leveraging AI to increase margins, but luxury has been something of a holdout,” (said Guy Levy-Yurista, PhD, VP Strategic Growth and Innovation at Sisense). “Affluent customers have demanded concierge-like service which could only be delivered by humans.” But this is changing, he said. Levy-Yurista looks to systems that can anticipate questions before they’re asked and fulfill needs that buyers weren’t even aware of, calling them “the essence of excellent, high-touch service.”

In the intensely competitive visual analytics market, Sisense stands out from the crowd with impressive innovation and staggering growth while most other vendors in the same space are losing market share. Sisense was named one of Forbes’ Next Billion Dollar Startups, and named to the inaugural Forbes 100 Best Cloud Companies list. The company is ranked 8th in the 2016 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Israel, a ranking announced at the end of 2016 that recognizes the fastest growing technology companies. Sisense also surprised market pundits with strong Visionary placement Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for BI and Analytics Platforms.

Amir Orad, CEO of business analytics software Sisense, says that children should be multidisciplined. “Our tradition of schooling from the Industrial Age makes you really, really good at one thing,” he says. “I think that’s very dangerous for the next generation.” Parents should encourage kids to be good at more than one thing as a way of being flexible, he says. By choosing interdisciplinary courses of study, kids will not only develop a variety of skills, they’ll also be knowledgeable about more than one subject area, giving them some adaptability as jobs change. Another way to think about it? Try out a lot of different stuff. Having a variety of experience will prove valuable in the future, he says.

We will be heading over to Atlanta for the CDO Executive Summit which focuses on driving a competitive advantage and improving performance using Big Data and analytics.

Sisense today announced the successful conclusion of Eureka!, its sold-out, invitation-only, global client event in New York City June 12 through June 13, 2018. Air Canada, Skullcandy, and WeWork were among the key speakers at this premier event for the business analytics community.

As has been the case for several years now, analytics will play a big role. We are using a dashboarding and visualization tool called Sisense, which has transformed the way the business uses data day to day. We are also exploring next steps with text analytics, and trying to understand how we can take the mountains of review data, social media and customer interactions and use it to drive process and product improvements.

Bots are just a user interface of a much bigger revolution that is surrounding us these days — the artificial intelligence revolution… The technology has the ability to interact with us in new, surprising and unprecedented ways, provide us insights we were previously blind to, and is quickly becoming the new user interface for platforms like bots. With this, we’re going to start to see a new class of bots become as ubiquitous as smartphones — not just in business, but in every aspect of human life.

Sisense ranks #1 in ComputerWorld’s overview of mobile apps for business intelligence: “The platform is fully browser-based which eliminates the need to download any software, and also makes it easier to share interactive dashboards to collaborate with other team members.”

Amir Orad joins BBC Business Live to discuss the future of business intelligence and the Sisense Coming Up For Air program.

We are excited to be attending TDWI Chicago.  Visit us at booth #208 to learn how you can develop an insight-driven organization that leverages analytics to enable faster, smarter business decisions.

Disconnecting from work outside of the office needs to be a habit — not just something leaders allow employees to do when they go on vacation. This is why New York-based business intelligence software company Sisense created its “Coming Up for Air” program. Once a quarter, the company schedules a long weekend and requires that all employees disconnect out of the office. No phone calls or emails between team members are permitted.

The chatbot application that I’m most excited for is business intelligence (BI). Real potential is unleashed when we marry AI and BI. Companies like Sisense have already developed technologies that enable chatbots to assist executives in answering critical business questions–the latest sales trends, data about a customer, insights about a competitor, and more. If you’re considering a chatbot, consider the multitude of different challenges you’d like to solve. Chances are there’s a chatbot that can help.

Sisense Inc., which helps companies organize and analyze their data, has won customers like Unilever, Airbus and Nasdaq from its perch in New York. It has raised almost $100 million from top U.S. VCs like Bessemer Venture Partners and Battery Ventures.

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.”

As a Premier Plus Sponsor, we invite you to join us at Gartner Data Summit. Hear from an amazing line-up of guest speakers and participate in several hands-on sessions.

Sisense also enables companies to manage complex datasets with its BI platform, and provides AI tools such as NLP-powered chatbots. Users can query their data through simple conversational interfaces, such as Skype or Slack. In a recent upgrade, Sisense added intuitive visual drag-and-drop tools for data preparation, so nontechnical business users can easily find, add, and combine complex data sources to their data platforms.

We’ll be attending the TDWI Las Vegas Conference this year. Learn all about the latest trends and developments in the business intelligence and data management market.

TruHome is a mortgage banking Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) that provides a full range of private-label services to credit unions throughout the country. When TruHome found that databases and manual reporting took up too much time, they looked for a solution and found it in Sisense. Having the analytics aspect linked directly to the data and accessible in a web portal makes it possible for them to find necessary information in just minutes, something that helped them effectively reach out mortgage holders affected by recent disasters to direct them to resources and extend a grace period for payment.

Israeli business intelligence company Sisense has announced that it will hire 150 new employees: half in its Ramat Gan offices and half in the US. The company, which currently has 400 employees, serves 1,000 customers, including General Electric, Nasdaq, Royal Philips, and Airbus.

Sisense launches Version 7.0, which takes advanced design and visualization concepts commonly used for the creation of dashboards and analytics, and applies them in a new way.

Mark Hopkins CIO of Skullcandy and Amir Orad, CEO of Sisense, joined Cheddar to speak about how the companies are catching those who are gaming the system.TV.

Unlike older platforms for complex data analytics, Sisense offers solutions that can be used by marketers with any level of technical knowhow. This platform makes it easy to connect data sets from any number of sources, both structured and unstructured, and it automates the data preparation, merging and mapping required for fast processing. Building dashboards and formulating queries is accomplished via an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, so there’s no coding required, and Sisense’s conversational bots make it easy to pull insights on the fly, while you’re working in Slack.

(E)-learning firms are turning to solutions like Cloud Assessments, a virtual workspace designed to observe students to see if they can apply what they’ve learned in the same settings they would see on the job. The platform partnered with Sisense, a business intelligence and data analytics firm, to pull insights from the complex data and metrics so they could more clearly see how students were performing.

While Amazon took aim at business directly for the first time… some companies had been experimenting with Echo integration much earlier. Sisense, a BI and analytics tool company, introduced Echo integration as early as July 2016.
