IRVINE, Calif. — May 18, 2022—Alteryx, Inc. (NYSE: AYX), the Analytics Automation Company, today unveiled new advancements that empower enterprises to enable cloud analytics, democratize insights, and ensure data governance. Announced at the annual Alteryx user conference, Inspire, the groundbreaking enhancements simplify and modernize analytics with easy-to-use capabilities to deliver analytics for all.
“Democratization of analytics is key to unlocking valuable insights in this rapidly changing business landscape, yet we have found fewer than 30 percent of knowledge workers have access to or are active users of analytics software beyond spreadsheets,” said Dan Vesset, group vice president of Analytics and Information Management, IDC. “To become a truly data-driven enterprise, businesses need to leverage analytics solutions that support ubiquitous connectivity to data, rich governance, and powerful, intuitive decision support capabilities.”
Ubiquitous Connectivity Enables Modern Cloud Analytics
Today, data-driven enterprises require analytics automation platforms and data architectures that span cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Organizations are increasingly deploying modern data architectures built on cloud data warehouses and data lakehouses, while also supporting SaaS applications and analytics.
Alteryx delivers on these needs by offering intelligent data transformation and insights in the cloud at scale. Bolstered by its recent acquisition of Trifacta, Alteryx offers enhanced integrations with leading cloud data warehouses including Databricks, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery. The integrations support high-performance native pushdown capabilities, shortening the time to derive insights from big data sets from hours to minutes.
“With unmatched scale and flexibility, cloud analytics is key for the future of digital transformation. Coupled with our advanced capabilities in analytics automation and governance, Alteryx leads the way in empowering organizations to easily democratize data for every person, at every skill level,” said Suresh Vittal, chief product officer at Alteryx. “Our latest innovations enable businesses to become data-driven and overcome potential obstacles including data silos and talent scarcity.”

Governance Advancements Enable Enterprise Scale Analytics
As businesses democratize analytic automation, it is essential to support robust governance practices to protect data integrity. New Alteryx governance capabilities include:
