Custom analytics software can offer a competitive edge in industries where new key performance indicators can help drive business decisions.  A custom analytics solution can provide unique insights into business performance and help find patterns not available through traditional methods.

One of the key components of large data stream analysis is an efficient storage engine.  Analytics software generally works on large sets of data, and it’s vitally important to ensure that the back-end can support the high volume of data that is bound to pass through the system.  Generally, three methods help facilitate this challenge – archiving, sampling and report pre-processing.

Data archiving is the most elementary data control, to help ensure that the active production database does not grow too large in size that it will extend beyond software latency requirements.  Once the data extends beyond a certain predefined size, the software will archive it to longer-term storage.  This technique is often combined with report-preprocessing, to analyze and process the data into a more compact form, and extract the components that will satisfy the reporting requirements.  In addition, sampling may be used to compress the data into more manageable bits.

Existing analytics software can also often be extended, either to produce additional reports, or incorporate more data than is currently available.  The data can either be incorporated into the primary software database, if that is feasible, or stored in a parallel database if the primary database is locked.
