TIBCO has announced the release of TIBCO Spotfire 7, an analytics and data visualisation platform.

The platform is designed for users of all skill levels to be able to gain insights with greater speed and ease.

Spotfire 7 uses built-in "smart" analytics which allows for new users to be able to pick up and start analysing data straight away by using Recommendations, a built in wizard.

Brian Gentile, senior vice president and general manager, TIBCO Analytics, said: "Our goal with Spotfire 7 is to make analytics software easier to use and to drive insights for everyday users faster than ever before."

"Spotfire 7 puts best practices at your fingertips, helping everybody who needs to work with data to be more productive and to more quickly uncover the answers hidden within."

"Our Spotfire analytics platform now addresses all the needs of an organisation, ranging from simple data exploration to the most advanced analytics, all on the same platform."

"Our platform-focused approach and focus on power with ease-of-use takes analytics out of the tool and puts it into the conversation, enabling business users and data scientists to become even more capable."

Included on Spotfire 7 are automated guidance that combined with Recommendations helps to create an intelligent wizard that guides users in best-practice for analytics.

Along with custom styling of dashboards and a streamlined user interface, the platform is designed to be tailored to the users’ needs.

TIBCO Spotfire 7 is available now for desktop and on-premises deployments.
