IDC predicts 80% of enterprises will speed up their shift to a cloud-centric infrastructure and cloud applications twice as fast as before the pandemic. The Sisense Fusion platform provides businesses the analytics foundation they need to transform their business inside and out and deliver AI-powered insights to employees and customers, at the right time, every time.
The Sisense Fusion Platform covers two key use cases: Sisense Fusion Embed, allowing the ability to infuse fully white-labelled analytic experiences into customer applications and workflows at scale, and also Sisense Fusion Analytics which does the same with employee-facing applications. Both use cases go beyond standard business intelligence by allowing all skill levels of employees and customers to analyze data and build customized experiences around the value of actionable intelligence.
The platform goes beyond the dashboard and helps customers simplify analytic complexity, build customizable experiences and infuse analytics everywhere with AI-powered insights. The result of this architecture provides a unique level of agility, flexibility and lower cost of ownership – from data flexibility to scale to analytical experience to extensibility to cloud to AI.
Sisense has a growing suite of local UK customers including Gousto, YourDMS and Learning Pool.
