Why Pyramid?

Pyramid isn’t the first BI tool to provide an ETL tool. But it is one of the first analytics tools to include an ETL tool that is embedded directly within the product—and it’s the first ETL tool truly designed for everyone. With the end-user ETL tool included as a core module, users don't need a separate tool to fix, condition, and improve incoming data. This gives users the ability to use a graphically based tool to blend structured and unstructured data in numerous ways, and then schedule data preparation operations so difficult data prep efforts don’t have to repeated over and over—all in the same place! In addition, the ETL features ML algorithms—including access to an ML marketplace—which users can use (and reuse) to build advanced data models.

Pyramid Analytics is the only analytics tool that treats narrative reporting—reporting that provides deep data-driven context beyond the static data views and visualizations found in traditional reporting—as a core part of the analytic lifecycle. With Pyramid's Publish module, users can craft and automate engaging, dynamic narrative reports using the very same platform they use to prepare data models and conduct advanced analytics inquiries. When reporting ties directly to data, includes dynamic content that provides deep context, and conforms to established security protocols, reporting delivers more than just pretty pictures or historical facts—it delivers contextualized insights that shows the way to better decisions.

Pyramid is truly built with content re-use in mind. Every aspect of the product—including data models, visualizations, presentations, publications, illustrations, machine learning algorithms, logical expressions, and more—is considered a first-class data citizen. Each piece is extensible, meaning it can be shared, re-used, and improved-upon. These building blocks are available in a shared content management system (CMS) so anyone can find the content they need depending on their role and goals. This allows you to manage your implementation in an analytics-as-a-service manner, which saves you time, reduces errors, and reinforces a collaborative, data-focused mindset within your organization.

Don’t make sacrifices for your BI vendor. Choose one that is flexible for you and your environment. With Pyramid, you don’t have to compromise. You don't have to rip and replace your analytics deployment. Our OS-agnostic Java platform can be readily integrated into any environment, allowing you to build and implement an enterprise architecture that meets your business model and your data strategy. You choose what works best for you: on premise or private cloud.

Advanced analytics can transform how organizations operate. They can help employees make decisions with data and insight previously untapped. But even those organizations seeking to be data driven have few employees making use of such sophisticated techniques. This often leaves complex analysis either completely neglected or inadequately performed. Pyramid enables users with rich visual interfaces to create even the most complex analyses.
