“Businesses are looking for transformational outcomes and have a heightened urgency to digitally transform. This requires a new kind of platform with an organizational capacity to make every worker across a company a data worker.”

– Dean Stoecker, Co-Founder & CEO, Alteryx

Alteryx has unveiled its enhanced analytic process automation (APA) platform.

With this move, the self-service analytics tool is now providing analytics, data science, and business process automation on a unified platform.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through what this means and how you can leverage the Alteryx APA platform to drive business growth.

So, let’s get started!

What really is Analytics Process Automation?

Before we explore the features of the Alteryx APA platform, let’s take a brief look at what analytic process automation means.

Now, traditionally, you would require a number of tools to discover, prepare, & analyze data.

This would include applying data science algorithms and machine learning to the data.

With the business process for the analytical workflow requiring manual handoffs between teams, it would be time-consuming to achieve desired results.

In fact, data analysts spend 70% of their time searching for data, while 44% of the time, this results in unsuccessful attempts.

In addition to this, data and analytics software have traditionally had separate markets for analytics, business intelligence, data science, and machine learning tools.

This is where Analytic Process Automation steps in.
