Aera Discovery™
Powerful analytics visualization with real-time data
Within the Aera Decision Cloud™ platform, Aera Discovery™ provides powerful analytical tools with real-time access to the Aera Decision Data Model™ – harmonized data from across your ecosystem in a data set purpose-built to digitize business decision making.
Discovery is built for complex query functions, with the ability to perform multi-level aggregation and to join large datasets across functions in-memory, delivering results in milliseconds. Designed for scale with report caching, on-the-fly compute, and query optimization, Discovery delivers both high-level views and transaction-level details – unlocking the insights your business needs to drive better, faster decision making.

Benefits
- Designed for decision making at scale: Aera Discovery offers report caching, query optimizer, and on-the-fly compute to support digitized decision making across your enterprise.
- Blend your own data sets: Use drag-and-drop processes and filter definitions, then build KPIs on top of these to create powerful visualizations – for example, you can blend sales data with inventory data from separate parent systems, then visualize the blended data on reports, charts, and pivot grids.
- Go beyond analytics: As part of an AI platform for decision making, Discovery enables your teams to leverage analytics on a journey to digitize, augment, and automate decision making. For example, drilling down into a recommendation on the Decision Workbench gives users access to embedded analytics, with a visualization of contextual information that helped to inform this decision.
