Big data is a huge consideration in business today. With more data created each day than ever before, business leaders are looking towards data-driven insights to make disruptionbusting decisions. Decision intelligence combines big data with advanced analytics techniques like AI, machine learning, and natural language processing to deliver the actionable insights those leaders need to make the right decisions, at the right time, at scale, to gain a competitive edge.

It enables organisations to uncover hidden patterns, trends, and insights that would be otherwise impossible to detect. One example of decision intelligence in practice is retailers predicting product popularity in advance and prestocking goods.

The Alteryx platform supports integration with a wide range of data sources including, databases, cloud applications, and big data platforms. It can also be integrated with business intelligence tools, visualisation tools, and other third-party analytic options.

Alteryx’s solution partner and ISVs integrations lets users integrate data from different systems, applications, and services. An organisation in the healthcare space, for example, might use Alteryx to connect with their Electronic Health Record system, then blend that data with claims data from their lab results – delivering a holistic view of patient information for clinical decision support, improving care coordination and outcomes.

Businesses are making huge gains with analytics in marketing, supply chain, fraud detection, and risk management among many others. Challenges around data governance, sovereignty, and data literacy, however, are hindering a more widespread adoption of analytics.

Integration of many different micro-technologies can also be an analytics pain point. End-to-end simple to use analytic technologies like Alteryx means that different systems can work together seamlessly to provide a holistic whole-business view.
