In today’s data-driven world, businesses need tools that not only analyse data but also communicate insights intuitively and intelligently. Strategy One delivers on this need by combining the precision of traditional Business Intelligence (BI) with the cognitive capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), providing a truly unified, scalable, and intelligent platform. Let’s explore how this synergy is transforming enterprise analytics.
AI VS BI:
- AI (Artificial Intelligence) brings human-like cognitive abilities such as reasoning, learning, and understanding context. However, it’s probabilistic by nature—meaning its responses are not always deterministic or precise.
- BI (Business Intelligence) focuses on advanced analytical capabilities to generate precise, data-driven insights based on historical data. However, BI cannot comprehend or respond to human language.
Why AI + BI: Better Together??
Strategy One seamlessly combines the precision and trust of BI with the cognitive capabilities of AI, merging the strengths of both into a unified solution. This hybrid approach allows users to ask natural language questions and receive governed, trustworthy answers. The outcome: a system that understands both language and logic, delivering insight with clarity and accuracy.
How Strategy ONE Bridges the Gap??
Strategy ONE amplifies the core strengths of both AI and BI:
- Precision + Cognitive Reasoning: BI contributes to data trust, governance, and accuracy. AI contributes flexibility, ease of interaction, and predictive power.
- Symbiotic Relationship: BI becomes more user-friendly and accessible; AI becomes more dependable and context-aware.
Challenges to AI Implementation:
Despite its promise, AI adoption in enterprises faces four key challenges:
- User Experience (UX): Making AI interfaces intuitive for non-technical users. How to design AI features like chat experiences, forecasting, or key drivers that are user-friendly?
- Trust: Ensuring secure and governed use of data from varied sources. How to ensure trust by adding AI in a way that securely governs data from any source?
- AI Skills: Lack of in-house expertise in AI engineering, LLMs, or prompt design. Do you have the necessary AI, LLM, and prompt engineering skills to build and connect AI applications to platforms like OpenAI?
- Integration: How to Seamlessly deploy AI across cloud ecosystems like Azure, AWS, or GCP.
Addressing these challenges is crucial for successfully implementing AI.
Strategy One: Solving the AI Puzzle:
Strategy One simplifies AI deployment across these four pillars:
- UX: It offers Built-in AI UI/UX that works out of the box across web and mobile
- Trust: With its semantic graph, it ensures governance, access control, and data lineage.
- AI Skills: AI engineering is integrated, eliminating the need for LLMs or APIs. Just activate Strategy One AI and ask.
- Integration: It can be deployed on any platform of choice, like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, providing a flexible architecture.
Strategy One AI: Two-Layered Intelligence
Strategy One AI is designed with both backend and frontend intelligence:
- Backend: Includes LLM integration, prompt engineering, and automated model tuning.
- Frontend: AUTO, a powerful AI assistant that lets users interact with data effortlessly.
AUTO: The AI Assistant that Does it All
- Auto Dashboard: Users can type a question, and a fully functional dashboard is created instantly using semantic logic.
- Auto SQL: Users can generate, explain, and optimize SQL queries automatically based on natural language.
- Auto Expert: Trained on Strategy One documentation, it helps users create metrics, charts, and other components.
- Auto Answers: Empowers business users to ask questions directly on dashboards and receive accurate responses.
Hands-On Demo Walkthrough
- Auto Dashboard Experience:
- Start by clicking the ‘+’ icon to create a dashboard. Existing dashboards are also available on the homepage for selection if needed.
- Select a data set either from the sample files or use your own data sets and import them. In this example, Sample datasets are used.
- Use the robot icon to interact with OpenAI for analytical suggestions.
- Choose from AI-suggested queries or type your own.
Scenario 1: Selecting the given suggestions:
Scenario 2: Typing down the requirement with human language:
Dashboards are quickly created by interpreting your questions through Strategy One‘s powerful semantic graph, which ensures every result is based on accurate data logic, governance policies, and verified business rules.
- Auto Answers in Action:
This feature is designed with everyday business users in mind—those who frequently encounter questions while exploring dashboards but may lack the technical or analytical skills to find the answers themselves. Often, they must depend on others for help, which can lead to delays or even unanswered questions.
- With Auto Answers, users can simply click “Auto” and ask data-related questions.
- The system proposes relevant queries or responds to user input using natural language.
- Integrated with Azure OpenAI, this feature works out of the box—no need to buy a separate OpenAI license, learn APIs, or do any prompt engineering. Just connect your data, ask questions, and get instant answers.
Why Strategy One + OpenAI Beats OpenAI Alone
- Without Strategy One: When you feed data directly into a language model and ask for answers, it might give you something that sounds right but isn’t always accurate. That’s because it doesn’t fully understand your business rules or logic. Since these models work on probabilities, the answers can change each time, which makes them unreliable for consistent decision-making.
- With Strategy One: When you combine Strategy One AI with language models, you get the best of both worlds. Strategy One handles the data accuracy and applies business logic, while the AI focuses on understanding your questions and explaining answers clearly. This means you get reliable insights that are not only correct but also easy to understand.
Conclusion: AI + BI for the Future:
Strategy ONE isn’t just a BI tool with AI plugins. It’s a complete platform that redefines how businesses interact with data. By combining trusted analytics with conversational AI, it democratizes insights and accelerates data-driven decision-making across all levels of the enterprise.
