Periscope Data Introduces Visual Data Discovery for BusinessSAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Periscope Data, the world's first software platform built to address the complete analytics lifecycle, today introduced the spring 2018 release of its platform, including new visual data discovery capabilities designed to empower business professionals to explore trusted data sets on their own within the Periscope Data platform. In the latest version of the Periscope Data platform, each business user will be able to receive direct access to current data sets, curated by their data analysts and data scientists, and customized to the needs of their line of business. With Periscope Data, business users can now visually explore the data they need — when they need it — to drive actionable insights and answer the critical questions they have today as well as any new or unexpected questions tomorrow. All with no complicated, proprietary markup languages, no repetitive data modeling and no waiting weeks or months. To explore data sets, business users will interact with an easy to use, drag-and-drop interface that will make even the most complex data sets navigable to the least technical users in a company. These users will then find a variety of visualization options to quickly create rich, shareable dashboards, with confidence that their data is accurate, reliable and up-to-date. "There's a large gap today between the powerful insights data teams uncover and the needs of the leaders that guide the business," said Harry Glaser, CEO and co-founder of Periscope Data. "Business users deserve an agile approach that lets them be hands-on in the data without requiring them to waste time learning complex markup languages or waiting weeks to see results. For the first time, business users will have the power to personally explore their data and answer the tough questions about their business, faster." Data professionals' time is in high demand — they regularly fill up their days delivering customized reports to various teams across their business while business users grow impatient waiting for answers to their data quesions. The new data discovery capabilities in Periscope address both audiences: business users can now access fresh and accurate datasets to get deep insights on their business. Meanwhile, data pros can free up more of their time to focus on complex, advanced analytics, while maintaining control and consistency of data use throughout their organization. "This new functionality from Periscope Data will allow our marketing, content and business development teams to become more self-sufficient, so that basic requests for charts and involvement goes down," said Jaime Brugueras, Vice President, Data & Analytics at FloSports. "Many of them are experts at Excel and pivot tables but don't know SQL. Now, they will have a much more advanced way to help them create visuals, map data, and ultimately, achieve their team goals." With more than 1,000 companies across the globe using its Unified Data Platform, Periscope Data has become a trusted single source of truth for data professionals and their teams. Periscope Data offers a truly connected platform – including complex analysis with SQL, Python and R together on one platform – to ingest, store, analyze, visualize and report on data in one place. In addition to new data discovery capabilities, the latest release of Periscope Data includes:
