NextGen company, Indicee, has teamed up with Pervasive Software (Pervasive) to launch a dashboard that will track Twitter activity during the SIIA’s All About the Cloud event on May 8 – 10, 2012.

The dashboard combines a real-time view of tweet velocity, powered by Indicee’s streaming capabilities, with a more traditional analytics view of the Twitter data, using a connector from Pervasive.

We’ll be following Twitter activity over the full three days of the show to get insight on trending event topics, most active tweeters and even which speakers are the most engaging!

Attendees can win prizes, including a brand new iPad, by using the #AATC and #indiceedb (Indicee dashboard) hashtags during the show.

The April BI Round-Up

Indicee Expands into the US with an Office in San Francisco

VANCOUVER, BC – Following several months of rapid growth, Vancouver-based startup Indicee Inc. (“Indicee”) today announced the opening of a new office in San Francisco, to better access industry events and work more closely with customers in the Bay Area.

Indicee, the leading cloud business intelligence platform company, launched their Powered by Indicee Partner Program last year to allow other software companies and online services to deliver world-class reporting and analytics to their customers. Since the launch, the company’s headcount and customer base has grown steadily, with many hailing from Silicon Valley.

“Indicee is growing rapidly,” explained Mark Cunningham, Founder and CEO, Indicee. “Since launching our dedicated partner acquisition program in December 2011, we’ve quickly built up a base of partners who are using Indicee to unlock their customer data through embedded analytics, as well as many who use it as an internal business intelligence tool. Today, a large number of our customers are cloud-based ISVs in the Valley, so establishing an office and team in the area is the next logical step for Indicee.”

BI Mashups with Indicee

One of the ways in which Indicee stands out from traditional BI tools is its ease of use. So, when Wayne Eckerson, Director of Research at TechTarget, put together a video whiteboard exploring the high-level concepts of BI mashups recently, we were inspired to create our own version showing how Indicee puts the power of mashups into the hands of business users.

In his video, Wayne talked about gadgetizing the various outputs of the BI process and placing them into libraries so they can be mashed together on the fly; by developers at the beginning of the process (connection, ETL and query stages), and by business users at the display and delivery stages.

This idea of making the different BI components shareable and reusable is something we get pretty excited about at Indicee (I wrote about this in my recent post Cooking Up a Better BI). So, we wanted to show you how we’re putting the theory into practice and enabling business users to mash together components at almost every stage of the BI process, to make useful content for themselves and others.
