TIBCO Spotfire® is a data visualization tool popular with life science researchers and financial firms who need easy-to-create dashboards. Spotfire features in-memory data processing and sophisticated predictive analytics. However, like most business intelligence tools, it is not designed for integrating large data sets and pre-processing before visualization.

The SortCL program in the IRI CoSort Product or in the IRI Voracity The platform is a fast, simple, and cost-effective way to efficiently prepare large amounts of data for Spotfire, both in terms of job design and runtime performance. In this section Learn why.

When SortCL sorts, merges, and aggregates raw data records in a single job and I/O pass before Spotfire, the time to visualization is much faster.r.

In a benchmark with 20M datasets on an average PC, CoSort prepared the same data results for Spotfire visualization that were over four times faster than with Spotfire, for details Click here.

In addition to rapid data preparation, IRI CoSort also enables advanced data transformation and cleansing prior to visualization. This includes removing duplicates, normalizing formats, and enriching data with external sources to supply Spotfire dashboards with high-quality information.

By utilizing parallel processing and optimized I/O operations, SortCL not only reduces processing times but also minimizes system load. This means that Spotfire users can efficiently process large datasets without impacting visualization performance.

The combination of CoSort's powerful engine and Spotfire's interactive features enables companies to make more informed decisions faster. Since the data arrives in Spotfire already structured and analyzed, users can immediately start visualizing without needing to perform extensive preparations. Additionally, SortCL supports a variety of data formats and connections to diverse data sources, ensuring flexible integration into existing IT infrastructures.

Whether relational databases, flat files, or cloud data sources – with IRI technology, all relevant information can be efficiently prepared for Spotfire. With this optimized processing, IRI ensures that companies accelerate their business intelligence processes while simultaneously increasing the quality and consistency of their analyses.
