We are excited to announce that Bold BI^®, the enterprise embedded analytics solution by Syncfusion^®, has been recognized as a Sample Vendor in 2024 Gartner Hype Cycles. We feel this is a recognition of our dedication to delivering top-tier analytics solutions. Specifically, Bold BI has been acknowledged in the Embedded Analytics category across four reports.

Gartner delivers actionable, objective insight on products to executives and their teams. Its expert guidance on tools enables faster, smarter decisions that lead to stronger business performance. “Embedding analytics and data science functionalities (predictive and prescriptive analytics) within websites or business applications via APIs reduces change management and increases analytics adoption close to decision points,” the Gartner report states.

Bold BI is recognized in the Hype Cycle for Analytics and Business Intelligence, 2024, which we think reflects its position on the market as a robust platform for integrating analytics into business operations. Bold BI facilitates the easy integration of analytics within day-to-day business applications, smoothing the adoption of analytics for crucial decisions.

Bold BI has also been recognized in the Hype Cycle for Finance AI and Advanced Analytics, 2024. By integrating advanced predictive and prescriptive analytics features, Bold BI enables finance teams to gain critical insights and make informed decisions.

How Bold BI Brings Analytics to Everyone

Bold BI is an embedded analytics solution created by Syncfusion that seamlessly integrates into any environment. With it, you can embed robust analytics and business intelligence directly into your applications. It brings clear metrics to everyone through:

• Robust Features: Over 35 widgets and more than 150 supported data sources allow for comprehensive dashboards.
• A User-Friendly Interface: Easy access to data and intuitive tools with which to visualize it.
• AI-Enhanced Features: A versatile AI assistant leverages natural language processing to streamline data interaction. It simplifies the creation and customization of charts, responding instantly to natural language requests in the dashboard designer and viewer.

Gartner noted a significant industry shift in their report: “ABI vendors and embedded analytics vendors have shifted focus away from building reports and dashboards to providing functionality for generating predictive and prescriptive analytics that leverage AI and ML.”

The statement suggests that integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies into existing systems or processes is today’s challenge. Bold BI is a leader in addressing this challenge. It is successfully integrating AI and ML into its offerings, making these technologies more accessible outside of traditional data science environments.

2.      Embedding analytics into daily workflows

Embedded analytics integrates BI capabilities into CRM or ERP systems, enabling users to access metrics without switching platforms. This integration boosts productivity and supports timely, data-driven decisions. Maximize efficiency by embedding analytics dashboards into existing tools for real-time, relevant data. Learn more in this link.

3.      Real-time data processing

As the need for quick access to information increases, companies are moving toward real-time data analysis. This approach allows businesses to process and examine data as it comes in, helping them make prompt decisions in fields like finance, retail, and healthcare.

4.      Artificial intelligence

In 2025, AI is revolutionizing BI by automating data analysis and predicting trends with better precision. AI-powered tools, like AI assistants, enable natural language queries and speed up dashboard creation. In 2025, AI is going to continue to improve the way businesses interact with their metrics.

5.      Strong data governance for secure and compliant analytics

Proper data governance ensures proper management, quality, security, and accessibility of data within an organization. It’s essential for maintaining data integrity, complying with regulations, and supporting informed decision-making. As cyber-criminals get more crafty and security measures evolve to match them, it’s becoming more important for businesses to review and update their policies regularly.

Conclusion

The future of business intelligence and analytics in 2025 is dynamic and exciting. With these trends growing stronger, organizations paying attention to them will gain unprecedented capabilities to thrive in competitive markets.

With the integration of React JS embedding, developers can now implement seamless server authentication via access tokens, enhancing the security of data interactions within their applications. This enhancement improves the customer experience and streamlines the embedding process in applications. It ensures secure and efficient data access, allowing users to enjoy customized and dynamic analytical experiences.

Dynamic Language Translator

Bold BI introduced a dynamic language translator in its designer, enabling users to create multilingual reports with ease. This functionality enhances accessibility and ensures that users can effectively communicate across diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Embedding Multitab Dashboards

Bold BI provided support for the method loadMultiTabDashboard in embedding. This feature allows you to render multiple dashboards programmatically using JavaScript. As a result, there is no longer a need to create a multitab dashboard on the Bold BI server, streamlining the development process.

Bold Data Hub

Extract, transform, and load data from multiple source connectors with the Bold Data Hub. This tool enables businesses to manage their data workflows efficiently, allowing them to gain insights more quickly and accurately than ever before. Learn more about the Bold Data Hub in our documentation and see how it can assist you in migrating and optimizing large datasets.

IP Allowlisting

Bold BI bolstered its security features by offering support for IP allowlisting, which lets users configure access controls on their Bold BI sites. Restrict access to the Bold BI application to specific IP addresses to ensure that only trusted and authorized users can access the application. This improvement significantly enhances the security framework, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected.

JWT Authentication

Bold BI now supports JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication at the site level, providing an additional layer of security for user sessions. This feature enables organizations to implement more robust authentication mechanisms, ensuring that user identities are securely verified during access.
