Labor Savings Lyza's desktop scalability and ease-of-use make it feasible for non-IT users to in-source ad hoc query, reporting, and even ETL/Rules prototyping. This reduces the load on DBA and BI technical resources for transient projects, but it also provides more fully articulated prototypes from which technical resources can develop new solutions.
Corporate IP Capture Lyza captures and encapsulates every computation, filter, merge, etc. in every analytical workflow into an XML metadata document. Then it binds that process metadata to every work product of that workflow and captures everything on the Lyza Commons, where a pub-sub model minimizes replication and version control confusion. Corporate business rules and practices that currently reside only in the heads of analysts are captured en masse in an organized and human-readable form.
Broader BI Participation Lyza allows users to share, annotate, comment on, remix and mashup your existing BI information assets, making them easier to find and easier to understand for a broader audience. And, Lyza's ease-of-use gets more people involved in the intelligence conversation, without incremental per-user fees.
Collaboration Without Anarchy Lyza allows users to remix and mashup other users' contributions without violating the creator's permission settings for the original work. It's a simple concept: trust is creator-governed, object-bound, and user-specific. Lyza's linking architecture makes this concept work, allowing composite and containerized intelligence assets that respect permissions at a component level even as they diffuse through multiple sharing and referral generations.
