Foundation Analytics: 
Cloud-Based Enterprise Analytic Solutions
Cloud computing is revolutionizing 
the way companies access and use applications...
... by eliminating the need to buy, install, and maintain software & hardware
But adoption of this powerful new paradigm has
been slow for enterprise-class anlaytics
For a number of reasons:
Security and privacy concerns
High volume data transfer and storage costs
Solution complexity
Legacy system integration
Advanced skillset requirements
.. and complex support requirements              (aka: "a single throat to choke")
So we thought we'd stick our necks out...
Foundation Analytics develops easy-to-use
Enterprise Analytic Solutions..
.. that are accessed seamlessly through a
standard browser..
.. in a highly secure and extremely scalable
hosted computing environment.
Foundation Analytics solutions  
consist of two components..
1. A full-featured analytic development 
   environment, including ETL, data 
   processing functions, and advanced
   modeling tools for analysts
2. A graphical interface that business 
    users can access to work directly with 
    the underlying analytic solution to 
    design strategies and drive improved
    business results
We are Foundation Analytics.. an analytic consulting company with a cloud-based platform for developing and deploying enterprise-class analytic solutions.
Let's take a closer look...
Configuration options are designed to meet strict 
information security requirements, and data governenance policies...
Storage and processing is accomplished through a multi-server architecture, which can be deployed as
a private-hosted, shared cloud, or internal appliance solution.  Regardless of the option selected,
the user experience is identical.
Now, let's take a look at the analytic environment , which consists of three layers..
At the lowest layer we utilize Python integrated with native C for extreme speed and scalability.  We also have an OEM relationship with Rogue Wave software that provides us with access to their time-tested statistical and mathematical C-function library: IMSL.  

FA clients can access IMSL directly in the Foundation environment by purchasing a development license from Rogue Wave.

Alternatively, we can also directly implement R via Python, providing full access to a wide range of leading edge analytic functions.
The next level in the analytic environment are the Processing Units, which are parameterized functions that perform a wide range of ETL, data processing, and higher-level analytic functions, such as automated binning, variable selection,
and modeling.

Processing Units provide the building blocks for more advanced applications, and can be imported and run in any Python script.  
The highest level are the Enterprise Solutions, which are the applications that can be used by non-technical business end-users to improve decision making, design new strategies, and drive improved 
results.  

Foundation typically works in close collaboration  with our clients 
to ensure these solutions meet all functional requirements prior to full
production rollout.
Foundation Analytics provides seamless access to easy-to-use,  collaboratively designed advanced analytic solutions in a highly secure, scalable, fast, and extensible environment.
But, really, that's all just plumbing to make
your life easier..
.. what really matters is..
Analytic Content.. aka: the actual solutions, 
and the tangible benefits they provide
