If we look at the BI evolution, earlier we had canned reports, then reports with input parameters, then dashboards and then in-memory BI tools. Next phase of BI will be integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence which will empower end users to type in their question and get instant business answers.
Helical Insight tool is able to provide the best of both world i.e. robustness of old BI tools with self service and backend driven reporting + machine learning module allowing business users to ask questions and get instantaneous business answers.
Apart from that, if you look at BI evolution not even a single BI tool survived the entire BI evolution because they were not developer friendly and were not able adapt to new technologies. Whereas Helical Insight comes with SOA architecture and is completely API driven.
This allows clients to add features and capabilities as and when they want with their own developers. Thus not only business users requirement are fulfilled but also entire solution stack can be upgraded as new technologies come into market without changing the entire stack.
Helical Insight is getting some really good feedback and business users are really excited about Instant BI. With it business users can just type in and get instantaneous data analysis.
