TPC-H Benchmark tests at the beginning of 2016 in reaching the world’s fastest analytical database Exasol We started to score represented in Turkey. Exasol is in-memory and SQL-based; while at the same time the analysis results are answered at light speed.

Of course in the area of ​​business intelligence we know that almost every industry needs solutions. However, given the size of the data, which sectors need more business intelligence solutions? In line with your expectations; Which sectors do you think are missing in this area?

We have large, medium and small sized companies operating in different sectors such as finance, retail, public, e-commerce, telecommunication, energy, production, service, education and logistics.

Developments especially in data analysis and business intelligence software have made such projects possible even for start-up companies. Service organizations such as municipalities, government agencies, sales-and-distribution companies that are particularly focused on growth, who are looking for a different sales channel, and who want to understand omni-channel transitions or users, are now able to make such investments.

Which brand do you work with Turkey in this area, what kind of solutions you offer these brands so far? Which brands will you be collaborating with in this area in the coming period or do you have agreements foreseen at this point?

Our field analytical solutions as Land Consulting. We have signed business intelligence software Tableau in 2012. Our strategic partnership with We are the senior partners in Turkey. In 2016, the world’s fastest analytical database, we brought to Turkey Exasol market. We also started collaborating with leading open source KNIME in the field of data mining and integration. With these three Portfolio software, we can offer layered solution options such as Tableau-EXASOL, Tableau-KNIME and Tableau-KNIME-EXASOL, which are complementary or complementary. Easy to use, such as KNIME, Desktop is a free data integration tool, and the investment cost of analyzing it with Tableau can be easily accommodated for medium sized companies.

We have taken steps to raise awareness by introducing its new generation solutions market in Turkey. The first and only Turkish Tableau www.yeninesiliszekasi.com content sites in Turkey have formed integrally with the data we publish dashboards to specific instances. On this site, anyone can download a free 14 day Tableau trial.

When you think about the cost of data analysis, do you explain the size of the savings (as much as possible) that the solutions / solutions you offer the companies at this point?

Tableau needs much less consulting support than similar software. On average, it is possible to say that Tableau’s consulting requirement is up to 30% compared to other products. In addition to Tableau’s in-memory analysis capability, it is possible to protect the existing investment with the live connection feature. Live connection option available SAP HANA, Oracle Exadata, and so on.

Exasol is a new generation database management system based on SQL and MPP based on Linux and standard hardware components. There are many settings in the Exasol architecture that require self-managing features, long processes in other databases and highly experienced consultants. A few DBAs (database administrators) need the effort. A full-time DBA can be a half-time or less DBA in Exasol, while a full-time DBA can be needed.

How do you evaluate the future of ‘business intelligence’ as a professional consultant in the field?

As can be clearly seen in the 2016 Gartner BI Magic Quadrant report, there is a serious transformation. I think we are witnessing business intelligence in the present moment in one of the great transformational conversions we have seen in our 20+ year career in our sector. It should be said that this change is mainly made by means of self-service and data visualization as a standard. It is one of Tableau’s basic design principles that it is possible to visualize and understand data as well as being a Self Service. The research says that the visualized data can be perceived much more easily and quickly.

In the course of data preparation and integration, it seems that tools with predictive analytic functions, such as KNIME and Alteryx, as well as classical ETL tools will be at the forefront, and even such tools will become increasingly alternative to ETL tools.

I anticipate that tools such as open source based KNIME will be used more and more intensively in the case of forecasting analytics, instead of expensive tools at the same time, at a much lower cost. With large data bursts, open-source large data technologies will become even more common with projects that can be used with in-memory SQL databases such as Exasol.

It is important to emphasize that all these technological changes and transformations are aimed at meeting the needs of more cumulative business users with much more sophisticated data analysis needs in a shorter time and at a lower cost than in the past.
