Extraction, Transformation, and Loading

Perform necessary data reading, writing, profiling, and other integration tasks

Address Hygiene and Data Quality

Ensure that all data to be analyzed is correct,complete and of highest quality possible

Advanced Analytics Explore the meaning, relationships and trends within the underlying data

Spatial Processing Analyze data for specifically-defined geographies and geometries including points, lines and polygons

Customer Data Integration Maintain an accurate, timely, complete, and comprehensive representation of customer records

Data Indexing, Storage & Compression

Stores record level data while performing indexing, compression, table linking, fast processing & retrieval

Reporting and Visualization Create reports that can include data tables, charts, maps, graphs, images, and other formats


Must Support Agile Development


Must Support a Variety of Producers/Consumers


Effective Geo-BI Desktop/Server Architecture

Wizards allow analysts to design and distributecustom processes or models within theirorganization without software development.

The Software Development Kit (SDK) allowsdevelopers to add custom tools to the Alteryxuser interface.

The API allows developers to integrateAlteryx functionality with 3rd party applicationsand automate modules and wizards

• Spatial Analytics has nothing to do with a Map• Location Intelligence isn’t Geographic Business Intelligence®

• Hosted Services - Great Training Ground but Long Term Limitations• Software is a requirement for Geo-BI Cloud Services• Public, Private and Hybrid with single architecture is critical• Business Sustainability and Continuity are Ensured • TCO is Greatly reduced, Time to Market is Short• Analysts become the Producers of apps not just Developers• Cloud Services will Eventually Reach an Equilibrium of Desktop/Web• Never as Easy, Scalable or Extensible as the Vendor pitches• Risks can be High but the Rewards Enormous
