Welcome to the era of Open Analytics

But what is it?

‘Open analytics’ is the integration of an open data access layer into business applications to be directly consumed by external analytics tools and popular programming languages.

Walk through an example


Readmission Application in the Cloud with Embedded Analytics


Need map of regions where readmission rates are higher?


Readmission Application in the Cloud with Embedded Analytics

1. Build a predictive model for

readmission

2. Visualize the data blended with

hospital management system

3. Ingest the detailed medical

conditions and line items into Data

Lake

4. Need report delivered as PDF at

9AM every Monday to CEO staff

5. …

Just give them the data…


But how can Cloud Apps “give” data to every analytics framework?

“BYOA”

What is an open REST API?


REST is great, BUT from an analytics and data management perspective...

It’s a style – not a standard

Limited querying capabilities

Metadata support?


OData is an open standard REST API for your Cloud Apps
