MindTree Expands RUBIC Family of Business Intelligence Frameworks With Geospatial Solution Featuring Interactive Data Rendering
Global IT and Product Engineering Services company MindTree has announced RUBIC (Re-Usable Business Intelligence Components) GAZE, an intuitive business intelligence framework that enables rendering of data on top of live maps, including Google and Bing, for interactive data visualisation. RUBIC GAZE provides actionable geospatial intelligence that enables geographically distributed organisations to cost-effectively analyse regional performance and optimise their localised business strategies.
RUBIC GAZE offers solutions to commonly faced businesses intelligence visualisation challenges, such as integration of business data onto maps, navigational issues and complexity of analysis. Featuring drill-up and drill-down capabilities, RUBIC GAZE displays rich visualisations and a comprehensive view of data. It is compatible with large multi-touch panels, enabling fingertip and touch navigation, and unlike common visualisation tools, RUBIC GAZE allows simple geospatial analysis by removing excess content.
“The business intelligence community has changed the way data is presented to and consumed by end users. The days of tabular and cross-tabular reports are over,” said Scott Staples, head of MindTree’s data and analytics solutions group. “Today, businesses demand dashboards that offer key performance indicators for specific business functions and drill down capabilities. RUBIC GAZE helps organisations interactively apply this approach at a localised level, by superimposing metrics onto maps and empowering businesses to measure, analyse and report performance across various locations. This enables informed decision making on future investments and strategies for different geographies.”
RUBIC GAZE can read data from any source including flat files, XMLs and relational databases, performing the transposition of data from disparate sources onto maps with ease. MindTree has equipped RUBIC GAZE with a user-friendly menu that enables self-service business intelligence, eliminating the dependency of business users on the IT team.
The RUBIC GAZE framework is based on open-source technologies that allow for ease of integration into existing technology environments, providing investment protection. The open-source technologies also relieve customers of the licensing costs commonly associated with geospatial components that are either sold standalone or as part of BI tool stacks. RUBIC GAZE is completely customisable, enabling customers in segments including retail, consumer packaged goods (CPG) and travel & transportation to deploy only the features and functionalities required by their business.
RUBIC GAZE is the latest addition to the MindTree family of RUBIC frameworks - a set of reusable components that provide structured approaches to managing various design aspects of BI implementations, increasing the quality of the solution and improving time to market. RUBIC GAZE enhances the core strengths of the MindTree’s data and analytics solutions group which provides consulting, development and maintenance services for solutions spanning enterprise business functions such as sales, marketing, supplier-spend, customer & profitability analytics and regulatory compliance.
RUBIC GAZE is available immediately as an independent framework, or as a bundled solution with MindTree’s Data and Analytics services.
