Cloud analytics specialist Birst is releasing new capabilities for its Networked BI Platform aimed at empowering end users in the enterprise to work with data effectively.
New features include Birst Mobile for Android, Collaboration, and End-User Data Preparation. The networked BI Platform is aimed at creating a network of interwoven BI instances that share a common analytical fabric, eliminating data silos to ensure collaboration and accelerate the delivery of BI across the enterprise.
End-User Data Preparation gives users the ability to rapidly refine their own data, analyze it by itself, or blend it with data from other people in the BI network. Individuals can glean insights on their own while also staying networked and connected to other users. This eliminates the silos that emerge from analyzing data on a desktop and ensures one seamless connection.
Birst's Collaboration capability enables any user in the network to collaborate through in-context discussion threads that mimic their daily social media interactions. User posts, within Birst, capture the data in context, ensuring that users can see the data as it was when the original posts were created.
Additionally, Birst Mobile for Android enables users anywhere to access the same data whether on a desktop, laptop or mobile. Offline capabilities automatically sync data and content so business users are able to view mobile analytics even when not connected.
"Birst's revolutionary approach to BI allows for agility, so business users can operate in their own personal BI sandbox while staying connected across the entire enterprise," says Brad Peters, Chief Product Officer, Birst. "Unlike traditional approaches, Birst’s Networked BI Platform helps business leaders empower users to work freely with data, while delivering trust, governance and agility at scale".
