Analytics automation firm Alteryx has announced the Alteryx Analytics Cloud, a unified end-to-end analytics automation platform to help businesses better understand their data.

With the new cloud platform, users only need a browser to gain access to insights, with a setup that can be done in minutes instead of days. Alteryx’s low-code/no-code capabilities also make it easier for any user to extract insights that help them tackle their toughest business problems.

“Gone are the days when only select teams could have access to analytics,” said Suresh Vittal, chief product officer of Alteryx, a New York Stock Exchange-listed company. “As we accelerate the next phase of our cloud growth, our new innovations will bring analytics to all so every business can empower every employee – from data engineers and IT to data analysts and scientists to line of business users – to make data-informed decisions using analytics automation.”

The gravity of data is moving to the cloud, with enterprises adopting cloud data warehouses or lakes to manage increasingly massive data sets, as well as looking for analytics solutions that are cloud-enabled. However, unlocking the value from their data – whether it is in the cloud or on premises – remains out of reach to many. According to an Alteryx-commissioned survey by YouGov, only 12 percent of workers reported having the benefit of driving business-changing outcomes through self-service analytics.

Democratising data analytics and ensuring every employee has access to insights will be key for enterprises to remain competitive. Alteryx is addressing this massive market need by delivering Alteryx Designer Cloud, Alteryx Machine Learning, Alteryx Auto Insights, and Trifacta Data Engineering Cloud in one unified solution suite, the Alteryx Analytics Cloud.
