Use Birst with your on-premise data warehouse without uploading. Introducing Birst Live Access.
Birst Live Access dramatically expands the range of information that you can analyze in the cloud with Birst. In addition to uploaded data sources, Birst Live Access allows you to tap into the existing investments in an on-premise data warehouse. Without having to upload data into the cloud, Birst Live Access allows you to analyze data from your on-premise data warehouse and enjoy the benefits of Birst advanced analysis and reporting.
You can also combine that data warehouse information with other data sources in Birst – data that comes from uploaded spreadsheets and databases, operational sources, or cloud sources like Salesforce.com. You can even compare data from multiple different on-premise data warehouses that you’re connecting via Live Access.
Live Access addresses IT department concerns regarding data governance, cloud security, and analysis response times for large data sets.
Here’s how uploading data to Birst (left) differs from using Birst Live Access (right):
