<p>This may sound counterintuitive coming from an analytics company, but analytics are not the “point” of analytics software. Making smarter decisions and delivering better business outcomes are the main reasons companies of all sizes in every industry want to drive their teams to make use of business intelligence.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But generations of technological innovation (better data visualizations, cloud analytics, and self-service tools) plus the rise of analytics-focused cultures in workplaces have failed to deliver on the many promises analytics hold; analytics adoption among in-house workforces remains stalled at around 30%.</p>



<p>However, in survey after survey, respondents rate using analyzed data to drive decision-making as vital to the success of their companies — including respondents to our <a href="https://www.sisense.com/reports/getting-strategic-value-from-data-analytics-when-initial-attempts-fail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harvard Business Review study</a>, where 89% of those polled stated that analyzed data is important to their organization’s innovation strategy.</p>



<p>Faced with a need to put actionable intelligence into the hands of users and stalled adoption rates, what are companies to do in a world where getting the most out of their data is a key to staying competitive? The answer: Make analytics invisible. By making workplace embedded analytics more like today’s consumer experiences, infusing intelligence into applications workers are already using, and focusing on outcomes (instead of technology), companies can increase their use of data and analytics and evolve how they do what they do.</p>



<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt;Consumer-style analytics infusion is the key to driving adoption.</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<a class="action-btn " href="https://www.sisense.com/whitepapers/three-steps-to-infusing-analytics-oem/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read more</a>



<h2>Decision-makers want consumer-style analytics</h2>



<p>Analytics are all around us today. In 2020, consumers executed <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1010716/apple-app-store-google-play-app-downloads-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">109 billion downloads</a> from the Google Play Store and 34 billion from the Apple App Store. Many of these consumer-centric apps already contain analytics seamlessly infused into the experience.</p>



<p>Guidance systems like Google Maps and Waze are becoming more intelligent, understanding when a user is on their daily commute, suggesting optimized routes, and even sending alerts when they should leave to arrive on time. Meanwhile, music services like Spotify constantly analyze listeners’ preferences as they “like” or skip songs and recommend new artists, albums, and tracks they might enjoy. Google Calendar has recently begun showing users insights like the amount of time they’re spending in meetings, who they meet with most often, and more.</p>



<p>These are all invisible analytics experiences that consumers — like the people on your teams — have come to know, love, and expect over time (without them even really realizing it). They want their workplace analytics served up the same way. The key to getting users to actually avail themselves of insights derived from analyzed data is to make the experience as <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/data-and-analytics-the-foundation-of-successful-apps/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seamless, invisible, and consumer-style</a> as possible.</p>



<h2>Use analytics to empower other applications</h2>



<p>COVID-19 made remote work a must for every industry able to facilitate it. Essential services like healthcare and foodservice can only be done face-to-face, but other sectors (especially those featuring high-tech companies) have pivoted hard to digital models.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This shift has led to an increase in the number of different business programs workers use every day. A recent study from identity-management company Okta reported that in 2020, the average company had 88 apps in use across the organization; some companies had almost 200! Gartner predicts that worker reliance on these apps will only go up over time, as remote work continues to be the norm for an increasingly distributed workforce.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Think about your own internal teams: How many applications are they using on a daily basis? Salesforce, Marketo, Gainsight, Asana … the list is endless. With so many icons and alerts lighting up their desktops (and, increasingly, phones) every day, do you really want one more program (an analytics platform) elbowing in for attention as well?</p>



<p>Again, all users want invisible, easy-to-use insights served up like the consumer analytics they’re already used to. The essence of actionable intelligence is the right piece of information, in front of the right person, at the right time and place, guiding them to the best next action. No switching between programs, hunting for the right insight, or puzzling over the right next action to take.&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/sisense-q2-2021-extensible-insights-infuse-analytics-beyond-dashboard/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Extending the abilities</a> of any piece of workplace software by adding personalized, actionable intelligence to it is the next wave or generation of analytics. The only limit for how analytics could positively impact your teams is your imagination. Savvy companies looking to augment their workforces with actionable intelligence should choose analytics platforms with robust, flexible APIs that allow for personalized, custom analytics inside any program their teams use — wherever your workforce spends its time, <em>that’s</em> where you want to put analytics.</p>



<h2>Focus on outcomes over technology</h2>



<p>If the right software program or a top-down culture of adopting analytics was enough to get everyone in every industry using analytics, it would have done so by now. Countless companies have gone through lengthy product buying cycles, rolled out fancy new analytics software, and gotten little for their efforts.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Infusing actionable intelligence into workflows and apps and focusing on outcomes is the solution to a problem that another standalone piece of software won’t solve. The right analytics platform capable of infusing advanced insights from complex data sources, augmented with AI-driven capabilities, into workflows is the key to smarter teams making better decisions.</p>



<p>An <a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/sisense-q2-2021-extensible-insights-infuse-analytics-beyond-dashboard/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">extensible framework</a> makes all that possible, supercharging any piece of workplace software and making users smarter without them even realizing it. Consumer software companies are already aware of how important real-time recommendations and actionable insights are and how much customers want them. Now it’s time for businesses in every industry to follow suit and provide their workforces with analytics experiences that mirror consumer ones.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The future is invisible analytics, and the future is here.</p>



<p><strong>&gt;&gt;&gt;Consumer-style analytics infusion is the key to driving adoption.</strong>&nbsp;</p>

Invisible Analytics Help Teams Make Smarter Decisions

<h2>The power of embedded analytics</h2>


<p>Your customers face a new dilemma. They need more agile, user-focused ways to discover and use insights from their business data. This demand for a next-generation analytics solution—embedded analytics— creates strategic opportunities for you to drive revenue, improve customer retention, even identify net new revenue opportunities by embedding next-level analytical capabilities into your applications.</p>


<p>Gartner reported that today 25% of analytics capabilities are embedded in business applications, while other industry research firms stated that as many as 40% percent of organizations are embedding analytics. Both numbers show the incredible growth of embedding analytics and point to a high-value return on investment.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img class="wp-image-118576" src="https://sisense.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/embedded-use-cases-companies-770x223.jpg" alt="" /></figure>


<p>In fact, the value is two-fold: service providers who are using embedded analytics to help their customers be more successful are simultaneously creating a powerful competitive differentiator. The outcome? Happier more loyal customers, and a strong competitive advantage for the company</p>


<h2 style="font-size: 39px;">Embedded analytics use cases: Event management</h2>


<p><strong>Global event management service</strong></p>


<p>A leader in the event management space with very large companies as clients, this company collects a tremendous amount<br />
of data on their events, from speakers and schedules to room reservations and more.</p>


<h3>The challenge</h3>


<p>A world-class global event management service was juggling multiple data sources from hundreds of clients and their events, but they lacked a tool that could consolidate the data into one interactive report they can send to their customers.</p>


<h3>The solution</h3>


<p>The company integrated the Sisense solution with their event management software that is combined with Salesforce. Then the company branded the solution as their own and created dashboard templates that could be used from one event to another. Clients have visualizations and reports for all their event needs and love the experience and the real-time updated data it provides.</p>


<p>The clients of the event management service went from calling the company daily for help and updates to becoming completely self-sufficient, in-the-know, and confident in the service they are getting.</p>


<h3>Embedded analytics in action</h3>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large fancybox"><img class="wp-image-118588" src="https://sisense.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/Embedded-analytics-in-action-Event-management-770x152.jpg" alt="" /></figure>


<h2>Computer software &amp; technology</h2>


<p><strong>Accounting service provider</strong></p>


<p>A premier portfolio accounting service provider for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) needed an analytics tool that their<br />
customers could use daily and self-sufficiently.</p>


<h3>The challenge</h3>


<p>Customers needed a platform with better visualizations and direct access to accurate, up-to-date data, in order to make informed business decisions. However, with 51 Terabytes of data to wade through, finding an analytics tool that could handle this volume without sacrificing granularity was not so easy to do.</p>


<h3>The solution</h3>


<p>After attempting to build their own solution and then testing five different solutions, the company chose Sisense. The look and feel of the product and the sheer ease and responsiveness of it were exactly what they needed for their customers. They also found that they were able to go from the concept stage to getting their final service ready to use and launch within just 2 months.</p>


<h3>Embedded analytics in action</h3>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large fancybox"><img class="wp-image-118595" src="https://sisense.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/Embedded-analytics-in-action-Accounting-Service-Provider-770x168.jpg" alt="" /></figure>


<h2>Financial services</h2>


<p><strong>Global financial services company</strong></p>


<p>A large financial services company provides a variety of online intelligence products to listed companies the world over.</p>


<h3>The challenge</h3>


<p>With a flagship product already in place, the company needed a new way of interacting with data that their customers would feel comfortable using. They needed to be able to layer information that was licensed from others and information that they input themselves and attain a new level of value from the results. The end goal was to add smart analytics and insights for<br />
their customers.</p>


<h3>The solution</h3>


<p>By embedding Sisense’s interactive reporting into the platform, this company now offers their customers a way to combine and drill down into their data, and to manipulate and interpret this in ways that just weren’t possible in their industry before. Not only does this improve the quality of their insights, but it also makes it easier than ever to communicate these insights across the organization.</p>


<h3>Embedded analytics in action</h3>


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large fancybox"><img class="wp-image-118603" src="https://sisense.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/Embedded-analytics-in-action-Financial-Services-Company-770x163.jpg" alt="" /></figure>


<h2>Logistics/Transportation services</h2>


<p><strong>Airline crew and flight schedule management</strong></p>


<p>Specializing in airline crew and flight schedule management solutions, this company supports tens of thousands of aviation professionals at global, regional, cargo and charter airlines.</p>


<h3>The challenge</h3>


<p>The company lacked the ability to extract data for comprehensive analytics. Their software collected millions of data points from each customer during normal use, but the data was not being leveraged enough for analysis and insight.</p>


<h3>The solution</h3>


<p>With Sisense to serve as their business intelligence provider, the company gained powerful embedded analytics while saving scores of development hours to build an analytics platform internally. Using Sisense has provided a more competitive market position and allowed them to concentrate on their core product while empowering customers to get exactly the information they need to make more informed, reasoned, and profitable decisions.</p>


<h3>Embedded analytics in action</h3>

<h2>Transportation &amp; shipping</h2>


<p><strong>Leading transportation and shipping company</strong></p>


<p>A transportation and shipping company has been very successful over the years at improving their customers’ shipping execution.</p>


<h3>The challenge</h3>


<p>The company needed integration technologies that could enable transportation managers to see if an order had shipped, what happened with it, and if there were any issues that need to be attended to. This extremely tactical system approach worked great for employees on the warehouse floor, so they wanted to extend it as a service to their customers to monitor day-to-day performance.</p>


<h3>The solution</h3>


<p>Sisense is used as the backend to collect and store customer data from hundreds of disparate data sources. This data is interpreted into standardized items using the company's systems and then processed by the Sisense platform. The easy integration with Sisense allows the company to offer their customers a way to interact with the data – to drill down, filter, to clean up data so it can be analyzed. Sisense enables integration at a “click of a button,” so they can easily add new data and new customers in minutes.</p>

5 Effective Embedded Analytics Use Cases

<h2>Dashboards are dead. </h2>


<p>Just kidding, you can keep reading. Your beloved, painstakingly-arranged, all-encompassing dashboards aren’t going anywhere. Dashboards are great, and they will always have a place in the world of analytics and BI. That being said, for every power user who lives in their dashboards and loves them, speaks the language of data, and can’t imagine life without them, there are countless other business users who could get immense value out of insights from their data and will never experience them, because dashboards aren’t for them.</p>


<p>Rather than stay shackled to this all-or-nothing approach, why not give each individual user the right analytics, data, and insights for them, in an easy-to-understand app or standalone widget? Or maybe you <a href="https://www.sisense.com/glossary/embedded-reporting/">embed</a> those insights right into their workflow, into a tool or product they already know and use all the time. And if you could put the ability to take action right alongside the analytics in question, even better, right?</p>


<p>The world of analytics and data is changing. Not every user who could benefit from insights is going to become a dashboard jockey and BI expert. And now they don’t have to! The ability to leave dashboards behind and create data experiences is putting more insights into the hands of more users than ever before. Embedding, customizing, and integrating those analytics widgets into other business apps is flipping the script: users don’t come to the data, the data comes to them.</p>


<p>The result: more engaged users, quicker decisions, and better results. Read on to see the future of analytics, beyond the dashboard.</p>


<h2>Experiences &gt; Dashboards</h2>


<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Buyers don’t want a power drill, they just want to put a hole in something.</p></blockquote>


<p>While analytics and BI superusers love dashboards—getting buried in data, digging into every KPI, and coming up with ever more intricate visualizations—most users just want the bottom line: Are sales up or down? Is this social media campaign reaching a large audience or not? Do we have enough coffee to make it through the week?</p>


<p>That’s why analytics platforms are expanding their features to include more and more ways for users of all kinds to get the data and insights they need in easy-to-digest bites. Instead of setting the table for a whole dashboard just to get one piece of information, they break the desired KPI out into a standalone app or widget.</p>


<p>This way of presenting data and insights now has legs! It can go where the user needs it most: on a phone or other mobile device, embedded into another application, or as a standalone app, but with a twist.&nbsp;</p>


<p>These versatile, bite-sized analytics utilities can be outfitted with functionality that allows users to take action right alongside the information (and, yes, even within a dashboard), wherever it best fits into their workflow. That makes a certain kind of sense, right? Instead of jumping between where the data lives and where the work gets actually done, users get insights and actions in the same place. It’s a great way to boost analytics adoptions and improve outcomes and efficiency, all at once. Best of all, what this synthesis looks like is up to each individual user.</p>


<h2>Analytics your way</h2>


<p>It’s not enough to just free your users from reliance on dashboards by giving them widgets, apps, and embeddable analytics paired with actions. Each business- and user-type has different data and action needs. So the non-dashboard analytics solution they use has to be versatile enough to suit their unique requirements. This is accomplished by embedding, customizing, and integrating with other apps.</p>


<p>First off, embedding: The versatile, highly-mobile, standalone analytics utilities discussed above are designed to go anywhere in a user’s workflow that the info and insights are most useful. That could mean they sit on the desktop, giving the user constant updates on KPIs that will drive decisions and actions throughout the day (with appropriate functionality built in). Or the user can stick the insight widget right into their favorite apps or productivity software and rely on the info there.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.sisense.com/blog/boost-engagement-drive-better-decisions-custom-analytics/">Customizing</a>: Using standalone data and analytics widgets that are customized to your own way of working is key to adoption and actually getting value out of data. Users can set the look, feel, and visualization to give help them understand the numbers at a glance and know what action to take without having to puzzle over a complicated display. And putting the functionality to take action right alongside the data helps improve adoption and efficiency.</p>


<p><a href="https://www.sisense.com/data-integration/">Integrating</a>: One of the best ways to get people to use analytics in their daily business activities is to combine the two. Embedding analytics within apps that users live in every day (like Salesforce, etc.) puts the information they need and the actions they need to take based off that information right in the same place. While dashboards might not be dead, switching between an analytics platform and a work application certainly is.</p>


<p>Portable analytics widgets that can fit right where users need them is one way to combine software and apps of all kinds with data to yield better results and more efficient workflows.</p>


<h2>Increased engagement, faster decisions, better results</h2>


<p>Technology moves fast. As quickly as users pick up a new piece of tech, they lose interest and forget about it—even if that tech could radically transform the way they work and deliver huge value to them and their organization.</p>


<p>That being said, portable analytics widgets that live within a user’s workflow have huge potential to drive engagement and stay a part of their lives long after the honeymoon phase has ended. Users develop a partnership with these utilities, turning to them throughout their days and integrating them organically into their workflows. This smooth synthesis makes accessing data and insights a natural, easy aspect of their daily routine; not something dreaded or burdensome.</p>


<p>And with this familiarity and regular use of insights comes increased speed to decisions. This is what the whole trend towards bite-sized analytics that can go anywhere has been pointing to this entire time—it’s the destiny of all analytics and business intelligence. We live in an always-on world of data, data that’s becoming too complex and all-encompassing for any single human to handle. But narrowing focus and putting the right insights in the right place for each user to extract maximum value from them and make the best possible decisions is maybe the optimum way humans can harness this upheaval of data</p>


<p>With custom-tailored insights integrated into workflows, every human is smarter and every decision is made better and faster. It’s an edge that very soon no organization will be able to live without.</p>


<h2>Use cases: How are people combining actions and analytics?</h2>


<p>Combining actions and insights in highly portable widgets and apps gives users the freedom to custom-design experiences that suit their workflows. Two key features that allow standalone widgets to interact with other systems are webhooks and writebacks. There are also a variety of ways that the look and feel of the app can be customized, based on that functionality.</p>


<p>Webhooks and writebacks give standalone analytics widgets the ability to interact with other systems and make users more efficient. Writebacks update the systems of record while staying within the context of the widget, while webhooks can post and even launch processes in other applications. A webhook between a widget and a transaction database could simplify completing a new sale by alerting the user to click the ‘buy’ button when the item in question reaches a certain price. The user could even have the choice to purchase, add to a wishlist, or send a link to a colleague (instead of being locked into only one action). The system provides the data and insights, then the human user makes a decision and takes action. And simplifying a buying process is just one way this kind of system can be used: launching marketing campaigns, opening up a support chat, and triggering other processes are all possible within a flexible, customizable framework.</p>


<p>These frameworks also give users a wide array of visualization options to display datasets. Carousels rotate through multiple KPI’s and visualizations within one widget. Or use a slide bar and apply filters to datasets by moving units on a bar higher or lower, which then dynamically updates the datasets in the visualization. Users who want to focus on one thing at a time can use a “light box” feature to display an image or video that fills the screen and dims everything else. Whatever will help users work more efficiently, standalone widgets can be tailored to provide an experience that works for them.</p>


<h2>What's out there now?</h2>


<p>Analytics and BI companies already know that giving users custom-tailored analytics widgets and apps and embeddable utilities is the way of the future. Here’s a peek at some market approaches that are being developed right now:</p>


<p>One direction is to allow users to create extensions that integrate visualizations, writebacks, advanced and <a href="https://www.sisense.com/glossary/predictive-data-analytics/">predictive analytics</a>. This is a step towards combining user actions and insights, but doesn’t allow for portable insights that can live anywhere or be embedded into other applications.</p>


<p>Another direction is to enable Admins to integrate predefined actions from a list of third-party services that are already integrated with other BI tools. In some cases, there may be a limited number of applications that can be integrated with a single predefined command, severely limiting user choice and customization.</p>


<p>Some approaches include infographic tools that allow customers to create visually insightful communication materials (charts, graphs, text, tables, etc) and automate delivery to large audiences. However, this approach doesn’t allow users to take actions alongside the data/insights.</p>


<h2>Summary</h2>


<p>Dashboards aren’t dead, but the genie is out of the bottle when it comes to portable, tailored analytics widgets that can go anywhere and do just about anything. As more and more applications are being built with analytics as part of the core offerings, like Wordpress site hosting software and Hive for team productivity management, the line between daily-use productivity tools and analytics software will start to blur until it becomes meaningless.</p>


<p>In the meantime, analytics and BI companies like Sisense will continue focusing efforts on giving users customizable, highly-portable analytics widgets that can go anywhere to help users get the insights they need to make a difference in their workflows. AI elements integrated into analytics platforms will also make it easier for non-technical users to navigate these systems and extract and share insights that they never could have come up with on their own. The future of analytics and BI will take many forms, all of them bringing insights and data to humans with much less heavy lifting</p>


<p>Your organization has data and you need the insights locked away within it to be competitive. If your workflow tools aren’t giving you the insights you need to make better decisions, faster, then an embeddable analytics widget could help you close the gap.&nbsp;</p>
