Outlier Unveils A New Way to Analyze Data Through Storytelling

OAKLAND, Calif., March 26, 2019 — Outlier, a pioneer in Automated Business Analysis, is releasing a new update to their platform which make data easier to understand through data storytelling. Instead of dashboards and charts, Outlier stories speak to the user in natural language, assembling research reports automatically at a scale not possible by human analysts. The update is included in Outlier’s Automated Business Analysis platform. For more information on the new update, please visit https://outlier.ai/automated-business-analysis/

Just as Outlier released its Root Cause Analysis to allow customers to not only surface key insights about business changes, automatically, but also identify the likely root causes of those changes, the new feature update will take the platform further to guide teams in making quick, informed business decisions. Teams can easily share stories through PDF, PowerPoint optimized images, or an auto-generated email annotated with their comments.

“In an age of dashboard fatigue, customers are looking to get more out of basic business intelligence tools,” said Krishna Roy, Senior Analyst, Data Science and Analytics at 451 Research. “To best understand your data, companies are moving to Automated Business Analysis, which automatically analyzes your data and integrates with existing workflows to ensure team collaboration.” 

“For years, marketers and data scientists have struggled to understand the stories that can be are found in their data, so they can truly take advantage of business opportunities or address threats,” said Outlier Co-Founder and CEO Sean Byrnes. “Traditional business intelligence dashboards fall short – data is isolated, providing only fleeting glimpses into a businesses’ organization. When marketers and data analysts only have partial information, they can’t work together to make informed business decisions quickly about where to direct scarce resources. We’re changing that with Outlier’s Automated Business Analysis platform.”
