KNOWAGE is the professional open-source suite for analytics and business intelligence over traditional sources and cloud/big data systems. KNOWAGE is developed according to the NGSI standards and implements the GE reference for data visualization. KNOWAGE provides two main modules and four plug-ins focused on specific domains, allowing to settle a tailored product for every analytical scope.

The modules of the suite are:

• SI (smart intelligence) carries out the “usual” business intelligence on structured data, focused on self-service and ad-hoc reporting
• ER (enterprise reporting) produces and distributes static reports with a pixel-perfect and ready- to-print layout in a secure way

The plug-ins for the SI module are:

• SD (smart data) allows to combine Solr index with other data sources and provides faceted views and full-text search.
• LI (location intelligence) combines business data with spatial or geographical information through mashup techniques.
• PM (performance management) manages KPIs with thresholds and organizes scorecards with real-time alerts.
• CA (custom analytics) allows to add what-if capabilities and take full advantage of R/python embedding possibilities.

KNOWAGE complies the criteria of modern BI, giving high customization capabilities and high autonomy to the end-user, ow able to build his own analysis and explore his own data space, always in a secure and well-managed environment, fully supporting the bi-modal approach where fast development meets enterprise requirements such as data consistency and reliability.

Thanks to the open-source model and adoption of open standards, KNOWAGE can be used as-is or easily included in a third-part application giving it new value with embedded analytics.

Companies and public entities have a lot of data coming from many data sources but often are not able to get full value from the data and experience a lack of information. There is the need to add BI capability to already existing platforms or to adopt a BI solution that is open, innovative, and cross-domain. It is essential to provide a highly customized experience over data and analyses and present data through an effective data visualization. KNOWAGE enables data visualization over data managed with FIWARE GEs.
