Software startup GoodData has debuted a new analytics platform that allows organizations to bring together their cloud-based and internally stored business intelligence.
“Advanced analytics can be the biggest advantage companies can have in today’s market, but most use just 10 percent of the data available to them,” said GoodData CEO Roman Stanek. “To get a true competitive advantage from analytics, businesses need to use all the data available to them – to move beyond big data and become all data enterprises.”
