GoodData offers a scalable multi-tenant cloud based business intelligence platform, allowing customers to quickly create metrics, reports and dashboards from multiple data sources, provide relevant access to information across the organization and to perform deep ad hoc analysis. GoodData is a managed service with a single unified metadata layer. This level of abstraction greatly simplifies the BI lifecycle. Our customers and partners spend their time building analytics projects that deliver business value rather than managing infrastructure and plumbing.
GoodData is an enterprise solution that provides organization-wide reporting across multiple geographic locations for global organizations. We take disparate data sources and join them in the cloud so that an organization can have a single source of truth across departments, regions, and business units to drive decision-making.
Ad hoc reporting is core functionality in GoodData, and distribution is available through multiple channels including: browsers, iPad, email, pdf, excel, and images. The GoodData user interface is built using JavaScript (Ajax) so reports and dashboards are embeddable into SaaS applications like Salesforce.com or portal tools like SharePoint.
GoodData is a complete BI stack. GoodData isn’t just about dashboards and reports. It’s a powerful tool with an analytical engine, data marts, event-based data warehouse, transformation engine and connectors to cloud and on-premises data sources.
GoodData’s Consulting Services team has implemented hundreds of successful projects for customers. The team not only has extremely deep product and technical knowledge of GoodData but also has a passion and expertise in data visualization and analytical best practices and KPIs.
GoodData’s Implementation Methodology (FUSE - Find, Uncover, Synthesize and Evolve) was developed to take unique advantage of the agile nature of GoodData and provide a flexible and iterative framework that guides customers through BI implementations that are radically faster and provide quick time to value. Our goal is to identify the core requirements for success, define a data model to service the project, prototype and iterate to reach the best solution and then be prepared to continually grow and adjust the project over time.
GoodData also builds out business applications on top of its core platform, based on best practices within selected domains (e.g. Sales, Marketing and Social Analytics). These are packaged as a set of key performance indicators, reports and dashboards for key personas to solve specific business problems. The applications are quick to provision, incorporating out of the box connectors to common systems, and are easily configurable to a particular customers needs.
GoodData Corporation is a private, venture backed firm. The main investors are Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures, Windcrest Partners, and Fidelity Growth Partners Europe.
