Analytical Workflow Tools and Technology

InforSense's Analytical Workflow technology is the foundation of the InforSense platform for Embedding Intelligence. It enables Business Analysts and Informaticians to build analytical applications that integrate heterogeneous data sources from across the enterprise and to then transform and analyze this data to deliver actionable intelligence throughout the enterprise.

Traditional analytics methodologies typically start with sample data provided by a database administrator to a highly-skilled analytic users in a statistics group. The data is then analyzed either by developing custom scripts, or by using expert tools. The results generated by the statistics group must then be handed over to the IT organization so that these results can be hard coded into business systems. The multiple handovers and different groups mean that analytics strategies can take months to organise and update.

In contrast, the InforSense Analytical Workflow technology can bridge these organizational gaps. The technology can be used to perform statistical analysis as well as to develop embeddable analytical applications such as real time recommendations engines, report and dashboard generation engines, sets of business rules and database update procedures. Once developed, applications built from analytical workflows can be directly executed in the InforSense platform or the InforSense Grid.

The InforSense Analytical Workflow technology can be used to perform a vast array of different analytical tasks including:

• Integration of data from different silos in an organization to develop richer data sets for analysis
• Join data from databases with the data accessed via a SOA
• Use analytical modules for Data Mining, Statistics and domain specific modules such as Cheminformatics, Bioinformatics and Genomics tools to answer key business questions
• Design analytical workflows over any data type including text and images
• Use the workflow as a Visual SQL-Builder using InforSense's In-Database Execution technology
• Integrate into workflow your own modules for analysis including programs and scripts

These capabilities enable workflows that can handle any analytical application. This in turn allows your organizations to rapidly build and deploy analytical strategies and to change analytical applications as fast as your enterprise requires.
