Spotfire DXP - exiting new stuff
The countdown for the biggest product launch in the history of Spotfire will very
soon reach zero now, and I will try to describe some of the great innovations in
this product.
The product will be called Spotfire DXP and it is a completely new foundation for
interactive business analytics. Spotfire DXP embraces the strengths of the Spotfire
DecisionSite and adds a huge set of new capabilities never seen together in one
product before.
We have talked to customers and investigated all aspects of the data analytics market
to come up with a completely novel way of interact with data.
The main capabilities of Spotfire DXP are:
- Centrally managed data access via the Spotfire Information Services
- Centrally managed product deployment
- Interactive analysis of large data sets - a new take of the unique Spotfire way
of allowing the and user to analyze business critical data - End user friendly packaging of complex analytical tools
- Extensibility of product
Compared to the Spotfire DecisionSite product you will notice many differences.
The main features that are visible to the user are:
- New user interface, which allows a much more effective analysis of data, and gives the user direct access to all common operations via drag drop and on screen roperty
controls - Undo and redo of changes to the analysis session
- Addition of new data rows and columns in a much more flexible way
- Visualization of multiple views of data in parallel
- Analysis data with hierarchies
All of these new features are based on a completely new product foundation developed using the Microsoft .Net 2.0 framework.
Stay tuned for more details on architecture and exiting challenges encountered.
Regards,
Jonas
