Prospect is a data analytics company helping the sports industry use artificial intelligence (AI) to power decisions—from the field to the boardroom. Our customers include teams, leagues, governing bodies, broadcasters, ticketing agencies, and sponsors. In this post, we share how we partnered with Amazon QuickSight to shift our business model from a mainly consultative approach to offering our powerful data analysis and business intelligence (BI) tools directly to customers.

The Amazon QuickSight Community is a one-stop shop where business intelligence (BI) authors and developers from across the globe can ask and answer questions, stay up to date, network, and learn together about Amazon QuickSight. In this post, we are thrilled to recognize Erik Göllner, our top Expert of the QuickSight Community for Q1 2024.

The AWS team is organizing exciting new events that will run through the remainder of 2024, delivering engaging sessions on the latest innovations with AWS pertaining to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and business intelligence (BI), Amazon Q, analytics, and machine learning (ML). The events also include a hands-on boot-camp focused on offering tailored solutions to business personas. The aim is to help our customers innovate faster using data analytics, ML, and generative BI on AWS, all with no code. This event is designed to cater to a diverse audience, from business leaders seeking to explore the frontiers of generative AI and Amazon Q to individuals with limited or no coding experience who aspire to dive into end-to-end data workflows. Even seasoned coders are invited to discover how they can unlock faster insights and harness the power of generative BI.

AWS PrivateLink interface VPC endpoints provide private connectivity between a QuickSight website, VPCs, or on-premises networks without exposing traffic to the public internet. Traffic between the VPC and the website doesn’t leave the Amazon network, and all communication between the VPC and the website is kept private within AWS, making sure the data in QuickSight is kept secure. Administrators can also use VPC endpoint policies to restrict access to QuickSight accounts that are not authorized on their network. In this post, we show how to establish end-to-end private connectivity from users on premises to a QuickSight website using VPC endpoints and AWS Direct Connect.

This blog post shows how data owners and business intelligence (BI) administrators can centrally manage fine-grained data permissions on Amazon Redshift tables and views and enforce them on all users in Amazon QuickSight with AWS IAM Identity Center trusted identity propagation.

Amazon QuickSight is a cloud-powered, serverless, and embeddable business intelligence (BI) service that makes it straightforward to deliver insights to everyone in your organization. As a fully managed service, QuickSight lets you create and publish interactive dashboards that can then be accessed from any device and embedded into your applications, portals, and websites. QuickSight is expanding filter and control functionality. Previously, a filter could be scoped to a single visual, some visuals, all of the visuals for a dataset on a sheet, or all applicable visuals on a sheet. With the launch of cross-sheet filters and controls, authors can now create, delete, and edit filters that apply to multiple sheets. Previously, cross-sheet filters could be created with parameters in over forty clicks. With the expansion in functionality, they can be created in just five clicks, which shows how much this new feature simplifies setting up filters and controls that impact multiple sheets.
