Sisense_NEWSisense, disrupting the BI market by simplifying business analytics for complex data, announced significant advancements to its platform to simplify the consumption of BI insights using IoT devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that create innately human sensory perceptions. Sisense Business Intelligence Virtually Everywhere launched as a beta program with its first two devices — a Sisense-enabled Amazon Echo and a Sisense-enabled IoT lightbulb. These innovations take BI beyond the 2D screen and enable a more intuitive and emotional connection to data insights using all senses, resulting in increased engagement and adoption. Early customers, including Act-On Software, Skullcandy and CTSI-Global, are already seeing positive tangible impact from the new capabilities with the Sisense BI Virtually Everywhere program.

Sisense’s mission is to simplify business analytics for complex data. We are pushing this concept across the entire BI value chain and embedding analytics in the physical world,” said Amir Orad, CEO of Sisense. “Sisense is uniquely positioned to open a new path in accessing data insights with our In-ChipTM Technology. These innovations are creating a more intuitive, personal connection to data, removing traditional limitations posed by 2D screens, by giving business users the ability to have simple conversations about their data, and visual insights into business performance and KPIs. This simplicity is essential to translating machine insight into human action.”

Sisense’s integration with Amazon’s Echo brings BI beyond the screen and into employees’ natural environments, using the power and simplicity of natural language. This is the first opportunity for AI to humanize data consumption, allowing business users to move beyond the confining two dimensions of screens and interact more naturally with their data by asking questions and hearing results in real time. The ease of conversation drives increased engagement with data and opens access to BI insights.

After using the Sisense-enabled Echo for a few weeks, it has quickly become an exciting way to access BI insights,” says James Levine of Act-On Software, a marketing platform company. “We can engage the Echo in a simple conversation to keep a pulse on our business. When you break down the barriers to access and make the experience personal, engagement becomes much more frequent and BI insights much more tangible.”

The Sisense-enabled IoT lightbulb creates another new way to consume business insights. The ambient light is a subtle but ever-present representation of how business users are progressing toward a specific business metric. The emotional response triggered by the Sisense-enabled IoT lightbulb, as it changes color in response to changing business conditions and KPIs, has shown to increase user engagement, motivation and drive behavior.

We have seen a 500% increase in user engagement as a result of the Sisense IoT bulb,” said Todd Winton, of CTSI-Global. “When rolling out a new software system, we tied the bulb to a threshold monitoring system logins across our employees. Below the threshold value, the bulb was red. Before utilizing the Sisense bulb, we were seeing just a few daily logins, but once we connected the bulb and put it in an open space that all the employees could see, system logins grew immediately. People did not like seeing red. This simple tool impacted our team to a greater extent than anyone expected. ”
