1. Complexity of Analysis
Data Analysts need more power tools
to drive the growing size and number
of data sources in their daily analytic
work.
2. Ease of Use
Alteryx sophisticated data blending
and analytics is easier to use than
most of today’s dashboarding and
reporting tools.
3. Business Benefits
Today’s BI/Analytics tools have failed
to drive business benefits. We are in
rarified air.

40. It is often said Analysts spend 80% of their time prepping and cleaning data
According to users of Alteryx, Designer cuts data prep by 30% leaving more time for testing hypothesis
and evaluating models
Data Preparation
The Data Preparation palette offers 20 standard tools with a range of capabilities
41. Many of us face the reality that our data is not stored in just one system. Accessing and
blending that data is just one step in the analytic workflow
With Alteryx Designer, blending data from multiple sources is easily accomplished, regardless
of data structure and format
Data Blending
42. Predictive analysis is about forecasting events using a range of statistical and machine learning
techniques
By highlighting and extracting certain traits from our data we can identify trends and use these to predict
behaviours which may occur / have occurred in the past, present or future
Predictive Analysis
Alteryx Designer offers over 30 predictive tools based on the R statistical programming language.
Each tool is highly customisable to meet your specific needs
44. No Coding

47. Predictive modeling is slow
because...
Solution
Modelers have to research the right
approaches for solving new problems
DataRobot knows hundreds of
modeling approaches and evaluates
them in parallel
Model validation and model tuning
take a long time to get right
DataRobot automates model validation
in a safe way and tunes models
automatically
Traditional integration approaches are
labor intensive and error prone
An API-based implementation reduces
implementation time from months to
hours
Modelers can only work on a couple of
problems at a time
The modeling API enables modelers to
work on hundreds of problems at the
same time
Can data scientists have more
productivity and business outcome?

• Successfully cleansed & blended 40+ product formats from 28
countries & numerous languages for a universal view of laundry
demand. Providing insights to 10,000 marketers globally.
CROSSMARK:
• Reduced data prep time from 9+ months to 14 days. The
company now expects to deliver insights to 9x its customer
base, going to 90% from earlier 10%.
“We need Alteryx to take what has happened before and blend it with real-time data from anywhere we can possibly
find it, andTableau to visualize that, so we make better decisions at the right time.”
