ThoughtSpot 6.2 Launches to Empower Enterprises to Connect, Share, and Utilize Insights Faster Than Ever

New features include DataFlow, Embrace for SAP and Teradata, and improvements in user experience, data exploration, and data loading

SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–In the midst of distributed workforces, cross-team collaboration and the need for instant access to insights for an array of business planning purposes has never been more critical. ThoughtSpot’s search and AI-driven analytics platform was designed to unlock valuable insights for employees at every level of an organization, from frontline employee to C-suite executive. Today, the company is announcing ThoughtSpot 6.2, which includes new exploration, collaboration and visualization capabilities, to help organizations unlock unprecedented value from their data in record time.

Organizations can connect their data, share and collaborate on analysis, and take action on insights faster than ever before with ThoughtSpot 6.2. With new features like DataFlow, Embrace for SAP and Teradata, and the ThoughtSpot bulkloader API, enterprises have more flexibility and choice on how they leverage their data for search and AI-driven analytics, wherever that data originates. Users can also now share a particular visualization with a colleague so that they can work off of the same view within one pinboard through Individual Chart Sharing. With the same ease of use as Google Docs, users can share and request edit access for a specific visualization, rather than an entire report or dashboard, making it easy to work together on specific and relevant data sets. With a new Subscribe Assistant feature, creators can also now subscribe users to specific headlines within a pinboard, making it even easier to get the appropriate data and KPIs in front of the people who need them.

“At ThoughtSpot, we know that data is only as valuable as the insights it produces, and it’s our mission to make it as quick and easy as possible to get access to the right insights that allow our customers to make the most informed decisions. Now, more than ever, time is of the essence for businesses, who need intelligence infused with every decision they make,” said Ajeet Singh, Cofounder & Executive Chairman, ThoughtSpot. “The combination of features we’re launching in ThoughtSpot 6.2 is a huge step forward in helping our customers collaborate, share insights, and most importantly, take action, faster than ever before.”

“In our work with customers, it’s clear they need to be making smarter decisions at every level of their organization as they navigate the new business environment,” said Vishal Kasera, Director of Product, ThoughtSpot. “ThoughtSpot 6.2 makes this possible by enhancing the experience for everyone involved in the data to decision pipeline, from administrator to analyst to business user.”
