Perceptions & Questions

The Bloor Group

The BI Latency Issue…

BI Latency

There are 4 distinct and important latencies

The Bloor Group

1 2 3 4

Time to DISCOVER (data analyst latency)

Time to DEVELOP (developer latency)

Time to DEPLOY (operational latency)

Time to USE (user latency)

BI User

The Full End-to-End Process

The Bloor Group

Each is a distinct step

The process applies both to BI development and BI implementation

The model stage disappears with implementation

I want complete self-service

The Point About Discovery

The Bloor Group

A Word About Vector Processing

The Bloor Group

q  Vector processing is very fast

q  It exploits the vector processing capability of commodity CPU

q  Very few vendors exploit this capability

!   In respect of this software suite, please speak to the following latencies:

!   Data Analyst latency

!   Developer latency

!   Deployment latency

!   User performance experience

!   How active is Actian Galaxy?

! Actian has acquired ParAccel; what are its intentions in terms of further product development?

!   In your view, is the “age of the data warehouse” over?

!   Which sectors/businesses are currently in Actian’s “sweet spot?”

!   Which companies/products do you regard as competitors/partners?
