The value of embedded analytics is clear. Application teams that embed dashboards and reports drive revenue, reduce customer churn, and differentiate their software from the competition. While embedded dashboards create a great deal of value, they can also carry tremendous cost.
These costs are not always visible when companies plan for their analytics offering but can significantly impact production, scale, and the speed of bringing analytics to market.
Application teams can choose between two development approaches to embed analytics: building what they need with the help of UI component libraries, or buying a solution from an analytics vendor.
