Alteryx customers can choose to host all… Show more What Alteryx Does:Alteryx gives the analyst the ability to access and assimilate data from any source both structured or un-structured. Further, it gives the analyst the ability to perform advanced predictive analytic functions or spatial analytic functions on those data sources. Also, Alteryx gives the analyst the ability to report on those analytics and data sets which can be delivered via standard products like Tableau, Excel, Power Point, PDF. Alteryx customers can choose to host all or part of the Alteryx platform on-premise or in the cloud to share solutions between users. Alteryx includes (but is not limited to) -Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (Data Integration)-Address Hygiene and Data Quality -Reporting and Visualization -Social Media and Big Data connectors (Hadoop)-Predictive Analytics via integration with "R" (Revolution Analytics enabled for scalability)-Spatial Data Processing (maps, drive times & geocoding)Why Alteryx is important:Analysts have to rely upon an approach requiring them to use multiple tools, processes or people to get the data they need to analyze before they do the analysis. Often these tools require specific skills or coding ability. This process is slow, requires multiple steps and is expensive. Similarly, gifted Data Scientists are in short supply and Business Analysts far outnumber them, and will continue you to do so for the foreseeable future. It makes sense to offload some advanced analytic problems to non-data scientists for numerous reasons like availability and cost but also for less obvious reasons like agile response and deeper understanding of business outcomes. Further, Alteryx makes data scientists more productive by relieving them of basic analytics freeing them up to work on more complex problems, and gives them a commercialized platform on which to deploy their analytics. In short operational efficiency gains accelerate, and organizations gain deeper business insights in hours not weeks. Show less
