In this age of information, companies are spending millions of dollars on data services, databases and data mining to use information as a competitive weapon. However, most employees are not trained analysts and many times data sources are not compatible. As a result, companies are not getting maximum value from all these data investments. Spotfire DecisionSite is recognized for its easy-to-use visual interface, ability to integrate with multiple data sources, and 'guided analytics" technology, which allows non-expert users to follow established analysis processes. DecisionSite Guided analytics enables developers to apply their programming and domain knowledge to create powerful visual analysis applications for end-users. By spreading best practices to a broad range of users, DecisionSite developers are helping their companies use current data investments to gain a significant information advantage over the competition. "Building Solutions" instructs new and existing DecisionSite developers on crafting Guided Analytic Applications that can be used by end-users to speed workflow, accelerate data sharing, and improve decision-making. Through application examples, code samples, and an overview of the DecisionSite system architecture, developers will learn to design applications to help end-users complete comprehensive data analysis promptly and accurately.
