Precog (formerly SlamData) recently joined the Alteryx Technology Partner Program and we are excited to share the benefits that this partnership stands to provide you, our partners in the “thrill of solving.” To deliver this information, we’ve asked Jeff Carr, CEO and Co-Founder of Precog, to pen a guest blogpost on our newly formed partnership. Please see below.
Precog + Alteryx…in Jeff’s Words
Precog + Alteryx is a solution that:
- simplifies and speeds up workflows that deal with large, complex and nested data
- prevents data silos
- automatically keeps workflows up to date with the latest data
- empowers Alteryx Designer users to easily fulfil their own data requests from APIs, S3, Azure Blob Storage, Data lakes, Operational databases, MongoDB and more
- connects with your workflows via a simple tool available on the Alteryx Gallery
Precog empowers Alteryx Designer users to build workflows that work with large, complex and nested data (such as JSON) within minutes. Modern data sources like Web APIs, IoT, Marketing, NoSQL and SaaS, provide large amounts of JSON data. Precog allows data requests from these sources to be fulfilled quickly in a self-service manner. Simply connect to a data source, explore the data, and pick the exact data you need. Precog automatically transforms the selected data into the table you want and makes it available in Alteryx Designer at hyper-speed. The latest data direct from your data source is just a workflow run away. This makes it easy to keep your workflows up-to-date.
Precog is simple to learn and use and there are no limits on data size or complexity. Precog works well with JSON objects, line delimited JSON, JSON arrays and CSV, and moreover, it makes it easy to work with directories of millions of such files at once. Users can easily curate the exact tables they need and incorporate these into existing Alteryx Designer workflows to cleanse, blend and augment with other data. For example, you can rapidly clean and join data from API endpoints, MongoDB collections and relational databases.
Precog can crunch massively complex data sets in record time and improve the performance of Designer by 50X or more in many cases.
