Can you pair ubiquitous software with pervasive models to democratize analytics?

With the world’s most popular software and applications, Microsoft products are indeed ubiquitous. Products like Excel, SharePoint, PowerPoint and Word have standardized the tools for analysis, collaboration, presentation and reporting, while SQL Server is widely used by businesses to record and manage their data. Microsoft products are the tools of choice for businesses worldwide.

Find out about The Democratization of Analytics

At Fuzzy Logix, we designed our models to be embedded in software and devices so it’s easy to make analytics available for end-users. This can be accomplished because our solutions run using T-SQL, so any reporting tool or development product that can run a SQL query, can now run analytics. In addition, our models run in-database, which eliminates data movement and allows our models to run at lightning speed. The ability to be embedded into almost any reporting tool, combined with speed of execution allow, us to easily and pervasively deploy analytic solutions.

By partnering with Microsoft we’ve combined the ubiquity of their software products and the pervasive nature of our analytic models to democratize analytics. We use the term democratization because we believe that analytics should be available on demand and embedded in standard business processes, with no awkward infrastructure needed to deliver the results. For example, you can now embed powerful analytics into Excel, PowerPoint and Word.

• With our Excel plug-in (or your Visual Basic code), you can run in-database analytics and return the results to Excel for further analysis and graphing.
• By using Share Point web analytics, you can add predictive models and collaborate across sales, marketing and inventory management on the results.
• With PowerPoint, you can build presentations, for example monthly business unit reviews, and then update the charts and tables for each slide automatically.
• Integration with Word brings other opportunities such as keeping detailed reports current and even updating text.

Instead of analytics being the domain of a select few, our joint solutions empower business users and emancipate them from the tyranny of traditional analytics solutions.
