BOARD 10.1 paves the way for companies into the cognitive space
By combining cognitive technologies, storytelling, and contextual collaboration, BOARD 10.1 provides business users with deep insights into a wide variety of data and immediate actionable results.
BOARD International, the world's leading provider of enterprise decision-making software, recently announced the availability of BOARD 10.1, the new version of its all-in-one platform for business intelligence, corporate performance management and predictive analytics.
BOARD 10.1 is the first stage in a transformative journey that will gradually extend the functionality of the BOARD platform to include traditional human decision-making tasks. Companies of all sizes and from all industries will benefit from the disruptive advantages.
Adaptation of thought processes
"In BOARD 10.1, we extend the platform with cognitive technologies that mimic human understanding and thinking processes," said Pietro Ferrari, CTO of BOARD. "As a result, the new version of BOARD offers an extremely advanced yet natural way of interacting between users and data that resembles interpersonal communication. On a single platform and in a unified architecture, we link the fields of cognitive computing with business intelligence, planning, simulation and predictive analytics, revolutionizing the way business decisions can be made."
Search-based analyses
Analytics can now be performed with the new speech recognition feature, without the need for a keyboard. This new search analytics feature is suitable for users without any technical knowledge. The user simply "asks" BOARD verbally and receives a report that is automatically integrated with so-called voice and written narratives (such as logs).
Users can also enter their question and receive the answer in the form of a machine-generated business report.
Storytelling
The new storytelling feature allows users to create personalized versions of company reports and save them as live presentations in their personal workspace.
The live presentation can be shared with colleagues and workgroups, creating a virtual community whose members can work on the same reports in real time.
Contextual cooperation
BOARD 10.1 offers powerful collaboration features across the entire decision-making process. For example, multiple users can now work simultaneously on the same analysis and communicate with each other contextually via an embedded chat function.
Automated protocols
BOARD 10.1 automatically creates intelligent descriptions of analyses and reports and outputs those highlights in text or voice form that contain the most important and interesting information.
Instead of the laborious manual process of sifting through data for key highlights or writing comments that need to be continually updated, the BOARD platform automatically creates intelligent and engaging content that gives users an overview of the key facts in each report.
Innovative user experience
BOARD 10.1 introduces a completely redesigned drag-and-drop user interface that dramatically improves interaction with data and minimizes the learning curve for users, allowing them to easily and effectively create their own personalized views of enterprise reports.
