We are excited to announce that KNIME Analytics Platform and KNIME Business Hub have won in the ‘Data-enabling solution of the year’ category. This category covers any product or service developed by a data or tech vendor.

Data is being used more and more to make evidence-based business decisions, making it crucial for companies to invest in large-scale upskilling initiatives so that more employees are enabled to work with and understand data. So, what’s keeping companies from doing this? Most state they have inadequate training resources, but the real culprit is lacking a data science tool that is user-friendly, makes data analytics accessible to non-technical users, but still allows data experts to work using advanced techniques.
KNIME Analytics Platform has a low barrier to entry for data science, offering a visual way for non-experts and experts to build analytic workflows in a low-code or no-code environment. Users can get quickly onboarded to using data science, improve the efficiency of day-to-day tasks, and self-sufficiently apply data-driven insight within their role.
KNIME’s commercial software, KNIME Business Hub, allows anyone in an organization to collaborate on data science across a wide range of expertise. Data teams can build complex analytic workflows and share them for reuse across the organization. Business analysts can interact with the data and inject their expertise without ever having to write a line of code or build a workflow (but can if they want to).
‘Data-enabling solution of the year’ encompasses KNIME’s ability to enable complete beginners to become data science practitioners in a short amount of time, while also enabling seasoned data teams to share knowledge and learn from each other’s solutions. KNIME also offers access to data science solution starters, training and certification resources, and best practices, making it easy for anyone in an organization to learn and develop their own solutions and assist in making data-driven decisioning pervasive across the enterprise.
By using KNIME, users and end-users benefit from its low-code approach, knowledge sharing capabilities, and ability to enable pervasive data insight.
