New UX/UI improvements simplify and streamline the discovery and access of information as well as the monitoring and management of content across the data and analytics ecosystem
Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo, Orlando, Florida and San Jose, California. October 21, 2024 – ZenOptics, a leading provider of analytics catalog and enterprise data & analytics marketplace solutions, today announced major platform enhancements to its user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) at the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024. These improvements are designed to simplify and streamline the discovery and access of information, as well as enhance the monitoring and management of reports, dashboards, spreadsheets, and KPIs across the entire data and analytics ecosystem.
These enhancements will improve productivity and satisfaction for both business end users and Data & BI Teams/stewards who promote, monitor, and manage the data and analytics assets in their organization. This emphasis on intuitive, simple interactions when both engaging with and managing assets will ultimately enable organizations to derive greater value from their data and analytics investments.
"At ZenOptics, we're committed to continually improving our platform to meet the evolving needs of our users," said Saurbh Khera, CEO of ZenOptics. "These latest UX/UI enhancements represent a major step forward in increasing adoption and making the output of powerful analytics tools more intuitive and efficient for users and BI/Analytics teams at all levels of an organization."
Key product enhancements include:
1. Redesigned Landing Page streamlines access to information. The ZenOptics Analytics Hub main landing dashboard is designed with visual simplicity and navigation cues through icons and branded colors so business users can more quickly and efficiently discover and access reports, dashboards, and key performance indicators.
2. A customized Welcome Page promotes important and relevant information. Curated welcome pages can be created to quickly drive consumption of relevant content for specific business users, groups or departments.
3. Expansion of information, context, and lineage for reports. Enhanced report lineage provides data source knowledge and history for citizen developers and analysts who look for more details about the data elements in the reports to validate, promote, and manage the analytics lifecycle. This new visual framework promotes emphasis of the report while bringing additional information, such as descriptions, tags for classification and enhanced search, owner, certification type and levels, and other key attributes, alongside for contextual support or further analysis.
4. Enriched Report Governance provides greater customization and flexibility. Functional advances with ZenOptics Analytics Governance establish a more flexible framework and model - including definitions of governance types, levels of granularity for certification owners, and customizable certification standards - for customers to strengthen and support their governance processes. Additionally, Report notifications support the management of the environment by creating a method of early reporting of issues.
5. Introduction of ZenOptics Mobile application. ZenOptics is launching an iOS native Mobile app, to extend the unified view of analytics and simplify access to reports/dashboards beyond the web browser.
“These platform enhancements are designed to deliver immediate impact by optimizing how users engage with their data,” said Heena Sood, ZenOptics CTO. “With intuitive design, we’ve simplified access to critical insights, enabling faster, more informed decision-making. The value lies not only in the personalized, seamless experience but also in the enriched governance and contextual reporting that drive greater data confidence and accountability. As we continue to evolve our platform, leveraging AI and value-driven design, these enhancements reflect our commitment to optimizing the data and analytics operating model.”
