In order to bring value to a company, data should be turned into Analytics Dashboards and be incorporated into Business Intelligence software. Data Analytics is an essential part of Business intelligence solutions together with data mining, process mining, business performance management, benchmarking and event processing.

With good Business Intelligence platform you can generate any types of analytics dashboards, get suggestions for improvements based on your data, monitor company's activities and more.

It makes sense to develop your own custom BI platform if solutions on the market are not flexible enough for you or don't meet your needs.

Here's how one of our clients in the financial industry developed a Business Intelligence software with us. The article also describes why developing custom software was important for this business.

Analytics Dashboards help to visualize data and work with it easily. You can be familiar with such mainstream Dashboards like Tableau, Qlik, Google Data Studio and Superset.

Analytics dashboards usually include among other useful features:

• ability to accept various data sources (e.g., Excel sheets, CSV files, databases)
• secure Web-based user interface with fine-grained access control
• integration of generated reports with third-party applications
• they allow non-specialists to generate reports and query the data easily

Search engines are extremely valuable for Big Data projects. Especially when it comes to structured content — search engines perform much better and faster than relational databases. They are scalable and can handle huge amounts of data very fast.

At Vantino, we have built through the years a strong expertise in developing custom search engines based on powerful open-source frameworks like Apache Lucene, Apache Solr and Elastic Search, which allow our customers to search their data efficiently.

Sevtin is the core of customizable full-text search engines developed at Vantino. It is one of the solutions that we use to provide e-commerce platforms with flexible and powerful search capabilities. A catalog of thousands of products would be of no use if potential clients cannot find what they need: a search engine is simply useless if it is slow or if it doesn't return relevant results.

Our solution Sevtin Search Engine can index automatically your database of textual documents and makes it possible to quickly set up a powerful custom search engine within your software environment.
