A production analytics platform

Bridging the data warehouse and the data lake

Gain insights while preparing large amounts of data

The purpose of data collection is ultimately to gain information and insights. And the better the information pictures of your data are, the better decisions you can make. But making those decisions today means 1) quickly integrating a growing volume and variety of raw data, and 2) extracting analytical insights from it through meaningful reports and displays you trust. If you can act both quickly and cost-effectively, you can outperform competitors who can't.

The IRI Voracity Data management platform is the fastest and most cost-effective place to combine big data integration and wrangling activities with instant reports or third-party analytic applications. Voracity provides a modern metadata management framework for data collection, integration, migration, governance and analytics in Eclipse.

Based on IRI CoSort or Hadoop engines, Voracity provides embedded BI, data wrangling, or a mix of both in optimized, task-consolidated data manipulation tasks.

Introduction of the production analysis platform

Due to its unique combinatorial capabilities, Voracity is also an enabling and accessible manifestation of a new data integration paradigm, the so-called „Production Analytic Platform“. Defined by the data warehouse expert Dr. Barry Devlin, the purpose of a production analytics platform is to balance and combine the informational world of using data for insight with the operational world of processing and implementation.

By performing and combining data integration, governance and analytics directly in Voracity, you can:

  • De-layer the data warehouse by combining the processes in one pass
  • stop buying more hardware (like ELT devices) or burdening DB users
  • Integrate data recognition, cleansing, masking and metadata management
  • Eliminate the complexity and cost of existing ETL and specialty data tools
  • End the war of words and the operational dichotomy between data warehouses and data lakes
  • Create insights and digital business transformations much faster and more cost-effectively than ever before

This is also about Voracity being able to process and present data at the same time, or to transfer the results to your visualization tool via data wrangling.
