Tomorrow's Data Preparation Today

May 13, 2015 Data & AI

Chris Doran invites you to learn more about the new version of Progress Easyl.

Imagine a world where business intelligence doesn’t require you to spend all day poring over spreadsheets; where you can automatically combine SaaS data with on-premise data without asking IT to poke holes in your firewall. A world where you have all the data you need to do your job at your fingertips at all times. Such a world could only exist in science fiction—right?

Last month at Oracle’s Modern Marketing Experience, the Progress® Easyl™ team was pleased to announce the future of data preparation, Easyl’s new “data blender” experience. With a brand new user interface and new features that enable you to see and work with your data during your blend, the new Easyl experience makes it easier than ever to combine, prepare and share your data for epic analytics and better business intelligence.  Best of all, the new Easyl is available in open beta today!

Welcome to the New Age of Data-Driven Decisions

In addition to the opportunity to get an early look at the latest version of Easyl and provide feedback to help shape the Easyl roadmap, beta participants are invited to participate in our weekly webinar series over the next few weeks.

Last week, Rich Julius and I gave an overview of Easyl, including how to connect data sources, set up filters and run reports that blend all the data you need for killer BI. You can find a recording of that session on YouTube, and if you want to get into the next one, there's still time! Weekly webinars are held every Thursday at 2 pm EDT. You can access the recurring meeting here. A full schedule is listed below:
