Birst, an Infor company, introduced its Smart Analytics family of solutions, powered by Infor Coleman AI.
Birst Smart Analytics is a new set of AI-enabled capabilities that elevate organizations above traditional reports and dashboards, using machine learning algorithms to power intelligent insights not previously available to business users. Built with patented technologies, Birst Smart Analytics delivers automated and personalized insights and recommendations that help transform the Business Intelligence (BI) experience from descriptive (what is happening) to diagnostic (why is it happening) and predictive (what will happen).
Smart Insights, the first in this series of capabilities, empowers business users to tap into the power of data science and understand the variables driving their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Requiring no specialized expertise, Smart Insights helps business users find meaningful relationships between a given KPI and countless business variables, and then automatically generate visualizations and dashboards that explain the KPI’s behavior.
The dashboards generated by Smart Insights follow Birst’s Value-Based Design (VBD) methodology, which encompasses best practices for driving meaningful business outcomes with analytics. This means that the insights produced are more impactful because they prioritize the attributes that have the greatest impact on particular KPIs.
Additional capabilities that Birst plans to introduce, in the Smart Analytics family, include Anomaly Detection, Natural Language Generation/Querying (NLG/NLQ), and Intelligent Alerting, among others.
Better Decisions with Smart Analytics
Using the Birst platform’s semantic layer (a common set of business definitions across analytic instances), Smart Insights can provide more personalized, trusted and actionable intelligence than competing solutions.
Further, with the Networked BI capabilities of the Birst platform, business users can bring in their own local data, link it to analytic instances across the corporate network, and apply Smart Insights to this extended data set to get a more complete picture of what’s driving business performance.
Ultimately, Birst Smart Insights helps to significantly reduce the barrier to finding new insights, enabling more business users to make better decisions without having to rely on experts. With AI, Smart Insights gives business users the power to harness the intelligence of their organizations and their data.
