IRVINE, Calif. and NASHVILLE, Tenn., June
14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Alteryx, Inc. (NYSE:
AYX), revolutionizing business through data science and
analytics, today announced the recipients of the 2019 Alteryx
Analytics Excellence Awards and new ACE program members at the
company's annual user conference, Inspire U.S. 2019. During a
keynote addressing the event audience, Olivia Duane Adams, co-founder and chief
customer officer, recognized Alteryx customers for driving change
within their organizations and communities and pushing the
boundaries of what is possible with data science and analytics.
2019 Analytics Excellence Awards
Alteryx created the Alteryx Analytics Excellence Awards to
celebrate users that go above and beyond to make a difference
within their teams, organization, industry or community. The
following use cases were selected as this year's honorees:
- Using Analytics to Identify Product Safety Concerns at
Polaris: Jason Lahr and
Jenna Melnick spearheaded a project
at Polaris, using Alteryx to automate the process of identifying
potential safety concerns from technical case data for Polaris'
suite of snowmobile, commercial, on-road and off-road vehicles.
This approach helped identify more safety issues in warranty claims
and resulted in better customer service, satisfaction and
retention.
- Toyo Engineering Reduces its Workload to a Fraction:
Toyo Engineering, the Japanese engineering, procurement and
construction company, serves the hydrocarbons and petrochemical
sectors worldwide. For each of the industrial plants they partner
with as a company, Shuntaro Saito,
Daisuke Tsuchiya and Yasuaki Shinozaki recognized differences in
conditions, situations in each phase of design, procurement and
construction work, but extracting data from spreadsheets was
inefficient and time-consuming. With Alteryx, the Toyo Engineering
team was able to perform complicated conditional processing easily
and saw their efficiency increase by 30 times when compared to
their previous method.
- Health Insurance Company Multiplies its Email Campaigns:
Neal Thomas recognized a weakness in
compiling marketing campaign data for the Medicare Marketing
Department at an American health insurance company, due to a lack
of a CRM tool, CRM database and siloed IT departments operating
several data source systems. Utilizing Alteryx Designer, Neal
successfully increased the number of email campaigns, open rates
and cost savings for each campaign, and retention rates for his
company's Medicare program.
- Building Aviation Charts with Designer and R: Pilots
rely on manually-crafted charts to learn more about their
destination airport or airfield, and these charts contain
invaluable information like safety warnings, terrain contours,
communication frequencies and other instructions that affect flight
safety. Ozzy Campos at TerraVeta
recognized that the technicians creating these charts spent a lot
of their time extracting data from a database piece-by-piece. By
implementing Alteryx Designer, the TerraVeta team was able to
organize massive amounts of data and plot the data onto each chart
with perfect accuracy, freeing up valuable time for aviation
experts to focus on larger conceptual issues that require human
interpretation.
- Determining the Right Location for Healthcare
Facilities: Determining which communities need new physician
clinics and which types of physicians should be staffed at each
location is a daunting task. Bob
Fulghum, president of Altab Solutions, wanted to use a
data-driven approach to find the best location suited to the needs
of the community for his client. Rather than having analysts sift
through complicated government data and attempt to analyze it on
their own, Alteryx Server, Alteryx Designer and its Spatial tools
provided a reliable snapshot of physician supply and demand in the
market. By leveraging Alteryx, Bob was able to obtain actionable
insights in a quick and cost-effective manner.
The ACE Program
Alteryx also introduced the newest
members of the ACE program during Inspire. These influential
Alteryx superusers offer invaluable support to their peers and the
broader data science and analytics community. The six new members
joining the existing 26 ACEs are:

director at Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc.: Fiona is passionate about
exploring data for trends and outliers, once believing she could
not do her job successfully without code, until she found Alteryx.
Fiona says Alteryx is to data what peanut butter is to jelly.

analyst at MedPro Group: Kenda co-leads the Indianapolis
Alteryx User Group and is eager to share her journey with a global
community, bringing together analysts with different backgrounds
and skill sets.
- Nick Haylund, creator at nyxDATA: Nick grew from an
analyst drowning in spreadsheets and SQL to thriving as a creator,
advocate and champion of self-service analytics. Nick co-leads the
Minneapolis Alteryx User Group and loves sharing his journey with
the global community both online and offline.
- Samantha Jayne Hughes,
analytical systems developer at Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd:
Samantha leads the Coventry-Midlands Alteryx User Group and mentors
individuals who are carving out their analytics paths. She teaches
Alteryx at Sainsbury's and cites her biggest reward as saving her
team hundreds of hours and witnessing the "aha!" moment with
Alteryx.

Thales is a consistent top contributor to the Alteryx Community and
is spreading the thrill of solving in Brazil. He provides valuable contributions to
Five Acts' customers, from integrating data sources to building
predictive models.
