Hybrid Analytica – The Key to a Successful Hybrid Analytics System

Hybrid Analytica is a business intelligence architecture that connects the best-in-class analytics platforms and data warehouses within an organization. This allows end users to access all types of reports, visualizations and predictive tools in a single location without the need to remember where each one is stored. This type of system can also help reduce maintenance costs by preventing the need for updates, deletions or even rebuilding existing business analytics assets that are already in use in daily workflows.

The key to a successful hybrid analytic system lies in understanding how information in the daily workflow is currently being accessed and then creating a way for these systems to work together. For example, some organizations keep sales performance reports in Tableau Server, sales quotas in SAP Analytics Cloud and predictive visualizations in Power BI Server. In a hybrid analytics system, these systems would all be connected through a portal that displayed a list of links under a logical grouping like sales. Then, when a user clicks on the link for a particular piece of insight, they are taken directly to the correct business intelligence platform.

For instance, this may include assessing the availability of services like document sharing, chat and video meetings, along with the overall security of the collaboration platform.
