Rick Whiting
The ability to analyze ever-growing volumes of data – data that’s increasingly spread across hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud systems – is critical for businesses to remain competitive today. Here are 10 business analytics tools that caught our attention in 2021 to help meet those challenges.

Knowi Elevate
Knowi Elevate, launched in January by unified analytics platform developer Knowi, is a fully managed SaaS data analysis system specifically for sales and revenue generation teams to use within the Slack collaboration application.
The idea is that sales personnel can access and analyze data – wherever it resides – from within Slack, rather than forcing them to log into a separate business analysis tool. Knowi Elevate allows users to ask natural language-based questions, generates automated reports within Slack and provides alerts for changing metrics.
