Spotfire overview

What is Spotfire?

Spotfire is a visual data science platform that transforms business data into powerful insights to solve complex problems. Starting with fast, convenient access from files, databases, web services, APIs, or servers, information can be combined from multiple sources to facilitate deep data discovery. An array of rich visualizations, applications, accelerators, and other extensions then provides easy-to-interpret insights vital for spotting valuable trends and patterns. Spotfire is supported by a robust user community that builds even more customized solutions for industry-specific needs.

Spotfire provides scientists, engineers, quants, and analysts with a point-click user experience to build sophisticated, interactive visual data science applications to solve their industry-specific problems. From a highly visual interface, operational dashboards and analytic applications can be created in several clicks, with simple publishing to all devices.

  • Recommendations provide recommended, suggested visualizations automatically whenever data is selected to reflect best practices and eliminate errors.

  • Spotfire for iOS and Android extends optimized access for tablet and smartphone devices.

  • Spotfire extensions, like the Spotfire Copilot AI tool, give you access to generative AI, unique visualizations, and industry-specific accelerators—supported by the Spotfire user community.
