Turn your insights into actions with TIBCO Cloud Actions
Create immediate interventions from Spotfire 12 visualisations without leaving an application
Johannesburg, South Africa – 26 October 2022 – TechSoft International, the exclusive territory partner for TIBCO Software the global leader for integration and analytics in Africa, says the TIBCO Spotfire 12 data visualisation and analytics platform update has introduced the Cloud Actions feature. This enables users to trigger actions natively within Spotfire based on real-time information compiled within the application.
“Cloud Actions is perfect for organisations who want to take action items directly from the dashboard without jumping over to another system, logging in credentials, and manually updating that data. For instance, updating Salesforce directly from a data visualisation or sending a Slack message straight from the TIBCO Spotfire platform. Cloud Actions enable this and give businesses even more control, and efficiency when it comes to turning insights into actions,” says Zoe Meyer, SpotFire Analytics lead at TechSoft International.
TechSoft customers and partners using TIBCO Cloud Actions can take advantage of its no-code capability for writing transactions to any cloud or on-premises application. This empowers a company to act across any operating system, spanning all the available top enterprise business applications and databases. TIBCO Spotfire 12 users can update systems of record instantly by triggering seamless transactions directly from data visualisation. There is no need to leave the business intelligence environment. Cloud Actions are non-developer friendly, with business users able to build highly tailored, fit-for-purpose business applications without the complexity of time-consuming integrations.
“Even though Spotfire has always been a popular tool to gain insights, the need to access a different solution to action them has been a cause of frustration. This is no longer the case as Cloud Actions empower business users to immediately act on what they want to do directly from the visualisation. Furthermore, it uses a token-based authentication model to ensure secure connections from the platform to the external system,” adds Zoe.
For example, manufacturers can use Cloud Actions to create an automated process or schedule a job in the workforce system to shut down or reconfigure a malfunctioning machine flagged in the quality control dashboard. On the banking side, financial services providers can analyse potential fraud as detected by the machine learning model and report it directly to the risk management system.
Logistics organisations can automatically reroute their vehicles to avoid severe weather conditions or traffic, as highlighted in the resource monitoring dashboard. By adjusting the route and speed, the system can forecast a new arrival time and schedule updated time slots with the customer to keep them informed at all times.
