Connecting the right data at the right time to speed data analysis

About

Visible Systems Corporation (Visible) began as the first IT company that provided clients with a system to electronically document their information systems. Over the past two decades, Visible has evolved to integrate data modeling and data discovery, helping companies conceptualize, compose, and analyze the data to execute their business strategy. The company has provided change management solutions to some of the largest enterprises in the world, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, NASA, Raytheon, and many more. . 

Visible’s CEO Michael Cesino and his company shared a collaborative office space with Starburst in both companies’ early days. When Cesino wanted to create a SaaS platform for his customers, he knew where to go for help.

Challenge

The focus of Visible’s business is helping other companies gain insight from customer data. To do this, they help clients access data that resides across multiple platforms, from traditional data warehouses to cloud data lakes, and gain actionable insights from it.

However, extracting insight from this distributed data can be time-consuming, expensive, and immensely challenging. Visible created a SaaS platform to help customers unlock the value in distributed data and needed an analytics engine that would enable users to query a wide range of data on the fly.

Solution

The analytics engine powering Visible’s SaaS platform is Starburst Galaxy, the cloud-native service that allows users to take advantage of Starburst Enterprise in just a few clicks. 

Galaxy simplifies and optimizes the Trino deployment while delivering lightning-fast performance on data at a massive scale. Visible has turned the service into a powerful driver of new business opportunities.

Results

Visible sees several advantages from its partnership with Starburst. 

Platform support. Starburst Galaxy allows Visible to accelerate the deployment of its new SaaS platform by providing an analytics engine capable of querying all data, no matter where it lives.

Reaching customers. Visible’s solution is industry agnostic and can support any organization struggling to align data with its business strategy. Starburst Galaxy is critical to the SaaS platform and helps the company reach and service a wide range of companies across different industries.

Helping people. The Starburst-backed SaaS platform has already had an impact on both enterprises and real people. One of the company’s customers, clinicians, are now able to query patient symptoms across distributed data sources resulting in more accurate and timely diagnosis.

Starburst offers Visible these additional advantages:

• High-performance connectors to a wide range of data platforms.
• Analytics anywhere so companies can analyze data without moving it.
• Faster, better decisions from accelerating time to insight.
• Easy administration due to Starburst Galaxy’s ease-of-use.
• Business intelligence (BI) tools integrated with Starburst, so customers can use their tool of choice.

With Starburst Galaxy, Visible can help its clients spend less time requesting and waiting for their data, and more time understanding, analyzing, and gaining insights from it.
