A desk set up for Sisense Everywhere, with Amazon Alexa and a multi-colored connected lamp.
Want to find out how last year’s revenue compares to this? Maybe you should just ask out loud.
Or maybe the color of your desk lamp can tell you if you’re meeting your sales targets.
Those natural interactions are part of new interfaces to query the business intelligence platform of New York City-based Sisense. The company, which says it has more than a thousand corporate customers, has rolled out in the last few months interfaces for Amazon Alexa, chatbots, and connected lightbulbs.
“Our entire focus is on simplifying complex data,” CEO Amir Orad told me. These new kinds of natural interfaces, he said, mean that one can avoid the thought processes developed by thirty years of screen-based dashboards, so you can just ask for what you need.
