Health information powerhouse uses Pyramid Analytics to enable faster, more intelligent decisions with any data, for any person, and any analytics need
CHALLENGE | SOLUTION | RESULT |
---|---|---|
Thousands of external stakeholders worldwide lacked easy, web-based, always-on access to data and insights. | Linksbridge chose Pyramid Analytics to provide quick, direct, access to any data in a single view. | Data is available to stakeholders through an underlying security access model, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
Different partner organizations needed different levels of access. | Pyramid’s AI-guided, no-code experience with governed self-service lets Linksbridge enable tailored levels of access to their data and insights to the different organizations with which they work. | Linksbridge can achieve its goal to “tip negotiating advantage in favor of public entities versus private” by granting nonprofits the highest level of access, while industry gets a lower level. |
Linksbridge needed a tool with native React components. | Pyramid provides modern and frictionless integration embedded in Linksbridge’s existing tools and technology. | Linksbridge now has a unified analytics experience with a seamless pipeline. |
Data and insights came from difference sources and didn’t lend themselves to quick charts. | Pyramid lets Linksbridge blend multi-source direct data into meaningful insights and visuals with the fastest direct query engine. | Stakeholders can see all the data and insights on any topic from multiple sources in a single view. |
Linksbridge, a social purpose corporation founded in 2008, works with nonprofit and social impact partners for nonprofit goals. They provide information on global health to everyone who wants it, additional assets for global health partners, and consulting and project services—working with organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNICEF, and WHO, among others. They attempt to help the sector modernize with innovations, business techniques, data science, and digital ways of working.
THE CHALLENGE
While Linksbridge is based in Seattle and has 35 employees, they work directly with hundreds of people worldwide — external stakeholders who need access to Linksbridge’s life-saving data and analytical insights. While these stakeholders may understand immunizations and vaccines, they don’t necessarily know about databases or web technologies.
“We want people [outside our organization] to slice and dice and look at data,” says Linksbridge principal Robin Schofield. “We think people should be curious about data and use it to ask more questions rather than passively consuming it. … And nobody these days wants to be providing some kind of concierge service in 1980s or 1990s style, where people say, ‘Oh, can you provide this datacard? And can you provide this chart?’ We wanted to do something sensible and provide all that online.”
The BI tools Linksbridge was using could not provide the services they needed to modernize their data practices and meet their web-based goals. They required a decision intelligence solution that would deliver a much better web experience and offer:
- quick, direct access to any data in a single view
- tailored, governed, no-code, self-service experiences for any person and organization
- simplified analytics through frictionless integration with existing tools, particularly React, which powered their main platform
