Whether your team is currently using traditional business intelligence, or augmented analytics tools, or you are planning to implement your first analytics solution, it is important to understand the relevance of low-code and no-code development (LCNC) and LCNC features and techniques to your team and your selected analytics solution.

Analytics with business intelligence and low code no code go hand-in-hand. The solution you choose can and should include both standard BI tools and sophisticated augmented analytics.

The global technology research firm, Forrester highlights the complexity of existing technology environs, and the importance of supporting the business with agile, adaptable tools and workforce and suggests that low-code/no-code development allows organizations to accelerate innovation and increase business agility and sustainability.


By integrating this approach within the business intelligence and augmented analytics environment the business can eliminate the need for expert programmers and IT professionals and allow team members to perform simple analytical, reporting and visualization tasks and create and explore analytics without the assistance of consultants or IT staff.

When we add a low code no code complement to this environment, we integrate simple technology that allows the analytics solution to keep pace with your changing organization while enabling data sharing and user adoption so the enterprise can produce fast, dependable insights and improve the value of business analysis across the enterprise, and democratize the use of advanced analytics.

To further illustrate how low code and no code development can be leveraged in BI tools and analytics, let’s look at some examples of how LCNC can be integrated within the analytics environment to improve, enhance and innovate analytics features and functionality.

Data Preparation, Transformation and Cleaning

Connect to multiple data sources, clean and transform data using intuitive visual tools, wizards, data pipeline charts and configuration, without the need to create complex extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) scripts.

Data Visualization

A drag and drop smart visualization engine allows the user to select the best fit and most appropriate options to visualize a particular dataset based on data columns, types, data volume and other factors.

Self-Serve Reports, Graphs and Dashboards

The team can leverage self-serve tools and wizards with drag n’ drop features to create dashboards, reports and summaries, to pivot and unpivot data, to add columns, spot lighters, and other features to enhance and clarify data presentation.

Predictive Modeling

A wizard-based, guided user interface (UI) helps users to create predictive models with no need for IT intervention, and no programming or scripting experience. The system will suggest the best-fit algorithm for the data the user wishes to analyze and fine tune parameters to create accurate, appropriate predictive models.

Anomaly Alerts

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are configured with simple or complex expressions, thresholds and frequencies, using a wizard-based user interface (UI), so the team can achieve swift results without IT intervention.

Expressions

An easy-to-use expression engine leverages functions and syntax with examples and test/validation features for key performance indicators (KPIs), new columns and other areas where expressions are required.

BI Platform Administration

The Application Administrator is a 100% graphical user interface (GUI) system that allows for platform and application management without scripting.

User Access Rights and Permissions

Configure and manage user access rights without scripting or programming using a 100% graphical user interface (UI) approach.

Embedded BI

Optimize application integration with easy-to-use Application Programming Interfaces (API) to embed BI objects and predictive models within third-party applications, and perform administrative tasks including user management and user access rights management.

By integrating this approach within the business intelligence and augmented analytics environment the business can eliminate the need for expert programmers and IT professionals and allow team members to perform simple analytical, reporting and visualization tasks and create and explore analytics without the assistance of consultants or IT staff, thereby reducing dependency on data scientists and IT and enabling power users and Citizen Data Scientists.

In addition, the use of low code and no code techniques and platforms allows for improved performance, and provides the flexibility to address rapidly changing user and business requirements as well as allowing the solution vendor to quickly add features and upgrade the solution to keep it evergreen.
