Salesforce Wave?!

You probably know that Wave is a great way to explorer your Salesforce data in ways that standard analytics cant. If you haven't used Wave yet, you should explorer now! Trust me as it's awesome.

Salesforce University is the official certification training department of Salesforce. That's why I decided to take the official training courses and learn this new "technology". You may not yet have taken a good look at he product.

Wave Analytics is a self-service analytics application that enables you to make sense of large amounts of data. You can explore your data to discover new, unexpected insights. You can also create dashboards to continually monitor key business metrics based on the latest data.
How does it work? Create aggregated views of your disparate data—Salesforce or external data—by loading it into datasets, and then slice and dice the data to get the answers you need to run your business. All inside Salesforce. Save your insights, share them with others, and start discussions about them in Chatter.



A few observations I made about Wave from the training course:

Wave is easy to use. Even end-users with minimal training, end-users can group data and get quick statistical facts that can help make conclusions about the data. Just seeing the images on the screen around is fun to watch, and it works on mobile devices.

Key features:

• Support multiple data sources: Wave allows users to vie data present not only in Salesforce, but also from various other databases via connector for various ETL tools like Informatica and Mulesoft. 
• Data drilling: Wave allows user to drill into the dashboard data with a single click
• Easy sharing: Wave allows users to share the dashboard data either via a Chatter, post, the URL, or by sharing the downloadable image of the dashboard.
