About six years ago, in what seems like another lifetime, JC got sick of making beautiful reports. It didn’t matter how great the intel was or how brilliant the analysis was – delivering a report to even the most senior people in an organisation (or even a government) was NOT the way to make it ‘data driven’. Data needed to stop being a separate workflow and needed to start being part of the existing workflow – it had to be something every single person in the organisation actually used every day to do their job.
Unfortunately for JC, he got quite excited about this and a little product called Wave Analytics – which had just been launched from Salesforce. Forming the first ever Salesforce Analytics practice at Cloud Sherpas, JC and his team threw everything into showing businesses a new way to harness BI into workflow – something which later became widely known as ‘embedded analytics’.
