Building Solutions with the DecisionSite Analytics Platform

by Kevin Hanegan

In this age of information, companies are spending millions of dollars on data services, databases and data mining to use information as a competitive weapon. However, most employees are not trained analysts and many times data sources are not compatible. As a result, companies are not getting maximum value from all these data investments.Spotfire DecisionSite is recognized for its easy-to-use visual interface, ability to integrate with multiple data sources, and "guided analytics" technology, which allows non-expert users to follow established analysis processes. DecisionSite Guided analytics enables developers to apply their programming and domain knowledge to create powerful visual analysis applications for end-users. By spreading best practices to a broad range of users, DecisionSite developers are helping their companies use current data investments to gain a significant information advantage over the competition.Building Solutions instructs new and existing DecisionSite developers on crafting Guided Analytic Applications that can be used by end-users to speed workflow, accelerate data sharing, and improve decision-making. Through application examples, code samples, and an overview of the DecisionSite system architecture, developers will learn to design applications to help end-users complete comprehensive data analysis promptly and accurately.
