Hi Sandra,
Good to hear from you again! You are correct that we are moving down the path of having a new Analytics platform. The development of Analytics has been in direct response to the feedback we've received over the years regarding Analysis and Intelligence. Our goal with the new product is to provide a more intuitive, interactive analytics solution that is both customizable by the customer and allows you to work with your data in near real-time (the data updates every 15 minutes).
In November last year we made the new Analytics platform available for new small and medium-sized businesses on Concur Standard product in the US. The development of Analytics is an iterative process where we are constantly adding new features, datasets, reports and dashboards. Our goal is to first achieve parity with functionality in Intelligence and then go beyond by adding new and innovative ways to work with your data.
We will not begin migration of existing Enterprise/Professional customers to this new platform until sometime in 2019. This will be an opt-in process that will span many years so you can decide when it is best for your organization to move over to the new platform once you have the information you need. As we approach the time we are ready to release the Enterprise/Professional version of the product and start conversions for existing customers, we will send out a variety of communications and provide informational webinars so you are fully prepared to decide when you want to convert.
We also realize that many customers are heavily invested with the custom reports they have created. Our team is working hard to have the tools in place to assist with the transfer of your data and custom reports once we are ready to begin the conversion process. In the interim, we will continue to support all of our customers on Intelligence (Cognos).
Here's a video you can view to learn more about the new Analytics platform.
