Product Details

InetSoft’s BI solution, Style Intelligence, features InetSoft’s proprietary Data Block technology that allows for data mashups from most data sources. The data mashups are done in real-time so that users can access their information as they are available. Users can customize their dashboards, including a variety of chart types (i.e. bar charts, custom geographic mapping, ec), as well as adding new data.

The latest version of Style Intelligence (Version 11.5) allows for the program to pull data from the Hadoop connector, which is an open-source framework for data processing.

What we like about this program is that no one needs to be an expert in BI analytics to be able to customize dashboards and reports. And the solution is aimed at specific job functions, such as Marketing, Sales, and Supply Chain. For example, Marketing can customize dashboards to track campaigns and leads.

Features

InetSoft’s BI solution’s standard analytical and reporting functions are indicated below.

Shortcomings
