Leveraging the Power of Analytic Apps
• Too much for any one
person to own
• Expertise and process
become silo’d
• Coordination becomes
dependent on IT
• IT doesn’t always get
the Business side
• Slow, painful,
expensive

Why Analytic Apps?
When an Analytic App Isn’t Quite Enough

• Mobile
• Customization
• Same Analytic App
• Encapsulates BI process
• Call from anywhere
Why the APIs?
Analytic App
Desktop APIs
Cloud APIs
The Analytic App is the Engine
• The App == The Process
• If the Process needs to change
• Change the App
• Not the Code!
• This is what Agile means
• Limited or no IT involvement
• Entire process can turn on a dime
