While analytics have been around for a long time, most BI implementations focus on building the data warehouse and delivering the data in a nice format. For analysis, OLAP cubes are created, but often, the serious analysis work is done by exporting the data to Excel.

In a recent blog post, he sums up the problem his software solves: “analytics are iterative and sequential.” This makes analytics very expensive to do and to maintain with the current BI tools. NextAnalytics also has a non-traditional licensing and pricing model, similar to other commercial open source products, which will be a breath of fresh air for those used to negotiating with the big BI software vendors.
