What is Contextual Analytics?

As a product feature for your app, embedded analytics is undoubtedly a valuable tool. But historically, many product managers and software developers have approached it as a standalone capability.

Listening to the Customer in the 21st Century: It's All About Data

The customer has never been more right. Across industries, customers have become conditioned to demand not only near-instant responses to their needs but that their needs be anticipated in advance.

Over time, we learn to set priorities, make a decision for one thing over the other, and compromise. Just like when it comes to data access in business.

Why We Need the Data Fabric

Computer science loves abstraction, and now, as it turns out, so does data management. Abstraction means reducing something complex to something simpler that elegantly delivers its essence. Applications all over the world become more robust and easier to maintain and evolve when a simple interface is put in front of a complex service. The consumer of the service is able to say: This is a lot simpler than allowing the consumer to reach directly under the hood and mess with the engine.
