Propel: Building a Platform for Analytics

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Propel delivers a set of components and tools to their partners for developing external analytics solutions. 

Their mission is to simplify the process of creating analytics engines. They noticed that modern businesses generate tons of data but don’t usually have a good way to share it externally with their customers. 

Customer-facing analytics have different requirements than internally-facing analytics. The requirements tend to fall into three major categories: low latency, high refresh rates, and flexible delivery. 

The Propel platform lets you prioritize these requirements and balance the solution cost according to what’s most important to your customers. 

Propel’s capabilities include ingesting data into a cloud database using data models designed to support analytics use cases as well as several mechanisms to expose analytics derived from that data (i.e. using SQL or APIs). 

Analytics are not “one size fits all.” Their customers, typically other software vendors, pick and choose the right capabilities to simplify the task of meeting their analytics requirements.
