About the Company
Since its inception in 2004, Suadeo, a French software company, has pursued the same objective: to provide a Self BI Platform which:
- Ensures optimal responsiveness and real user autonomy for their data usage.
- Gives users an upper hand on leveraging their business acumen in constructing multidimensional data analysis, building dashboards, and reports.
- Enables users to run successful data analytics to obtain a clear picture of where the business is, where it has been, and where it should go.
Because dashboarding and reporting tools alone are not enough to offer the freedom users require to run analysis as support for strategic decision making, Suadeo Designer, the Suadeo Self BI Platform, combines Data Governance and DataViz to free up non-IT users in their data analysis production, data flows exchange, cataloging, and Restitution, while being 100% integrable into any information system.
