Shareable, Centralised Analytics
Analytics Hub consolidates analytic assets into one secure, scalable and intuitive platform. While the Alteryx APA Platform already helps scores of businesses solve complex problems by unifying analytics, data science and business process automation, the Analytics Hub also allows data workers to share and collaborate across teams. This eliminates silos that hold back transformation across an organisation. Regardless of data expertise, Analytics Hub takes users from data discovery, to insight, to action while automating repetitive, time-consuming data processes. With Analytics Hub, the time from data to decision is rapid, and flexible deployment (cloud, on-site, or using a multi-node environment) means organisations can scale the platform with ease.
“Our product engineering teams are relentlessly focussed on building products and capabilities with an extensibility-first mindset,” said Derek Knudsen, chief technology officer of Alteryx. “Analytics Hub, as an example, has more than 250 APIs, which means third parties can build innovative features on top of the Alteryx APA Platform. The result for businesses is even more powerful, flexible APA solutions.”
Upskill Human Talent
Intelligence Suite, a new offering and part of the Alteryx APA Platform (2020.2) update, works with Analytics Hub and Alteryx Designer, and helps users without a data science background easily build their own predictive models. By leveraging Assisted Modelling capabilities, a user that has never previously constructed a predictive model can create an end-to-end machine learning pipeline in just minutes—and build the skills to produce models in the future. This enables data workers in any line of business to spend more of their time asking questions of the data, armed with the calibre of explainable, predictive insights that ultimately give companies a competitive edge.
“I had never built a model before I launched Assisted Modelling and at the end, had created a model with 95 percent accuracy,” said Neal Thomas, senior business consultant at a Fortune 50 healthcare company. “I can start building a model myself, instead of waiting for someone else to build it, and can have it done in an hour. The things you can do in a day with Alteryx blows my mind.”
“This is designed with the end-user in mind,” said Chris McEleavey, technical lead at Bulien. “You don’t need any coding; it fits beautifully within Alteryx itself and any user would be able to use Assisted Modelling.”
Intelligence Suite helps build and reinforce datasets, making it easy to extract and import data from traditionally difficult data sources such as PDFs and images. This gives in-house analysts the ability to leverage valuable data to drive comprehensive insights back to the business.
Parallel Processes
2020.2 also introduces the new Alteryx Multithreaded Processing (AMP) Engine, allowing multiple threads of a process to execute simultaneously. The AMP Engine delivers greater efficiencies on larger datasets and complex processes. This gives workers the ability to have multiple projects running simultaneously, which saves time and frees them up to focus on the next analytic challenge.
Key features and highlights of 2020.2 include:
