SlipstreamBI has announced that it is the newest addition to the Alteryx Analytic Partner Programme. Alteryx is the leader in data blending and advanced analytics.
Andrew Milner, technology director of SlipstreamBI which is already a top Tableau reseller in South Africa, says: “We approached Alteryx because we believe it is the ideal partner to Tableau. Alteryx is used daily by over 200 000 users and significantly reduces the time it takes these customers to process and analyse their data. It is simply less complex.”
Paul Ross, VP of product marketing at Alteryx, says the momentum that Alteryx and Tableau have built based on technology integration and a growing joint customer base, made this a natural fit for partnering with SlipstreamBI.
“We’re excited to welcome SlipstreamBI as a new Alteryx reseller and to extend our technology reach into sub-Saharan Africa.”
Ross says visualisations powered by rich datasets continue to become an increasingly influential and high-profile decision-making tool for organisations: “We feel that SlipstreamBI shares a common vision with Alteryx of empowering the everyday business analyst with powerful, yet easy-to-use tools for data blending and advanced analytics.”
Milner says SlipstreamBI was attracted to Alteryx because it provides analysts with an intuitive workflow for data blending and advanced analytics that leads to deeper insights in hours, not weeks and without the need for coding or specialised training.
“We were also attracted to Alteryx because it integrates seamlessly with Tableau and provides for richer visualisations, with data analysts able to automatically create Tableau Data Extract files directly from their Alteryx workflows,” Milner says.
“The integration between Alteryx Strategic Analytics and Tableau makes it simple to visualise the answers generated in Alteryx – you simply save the results of your Alteryx workflow in the Tableau TDE format and open the file in Tableau.”
Ross says powerful data visualisations require rich datasets and the preparation of datasets typically consumes 60% to 70% of a project’s budget and time. “With Alteryx, business analysts can dramatically reduce the time to create the perfect analytical data set, so they can spend more time creating opportunities with data and less time preparing it.”
