Dean Stoecker, chairman and CEO of Alteryx and Abboud Ghanem, regional vice president, Middle East and Africa at Alteryx selected the best user cases for the first MEA regional awards.

Recognized for spreading the culture of analytics and uncovering insights that positively influence their organizations and communities, the selected cases reflect the strategic objective of creating a smart, innovation-driven and knowledge-based regional economy.

These award winners are living examples of how analytics is crucial to successful digital transformation within the MEA region and can literally alter organizations and cultures while driving insights to solve challenges that seemed impossible before.”“Alteryx offers immense value as we continue to move away from manual processes and harness the power of data analytics within the Public Pension Agency,” said Hussein Alasmari, PPA Governor’s Advisor for information technology at the Public Pension Agency, the Saudi Arabian agency that disburses pensions to the country’s retired civil employees and military personnel or their beneficiaries. “Our ongoing use of data analytics through the self-service Alteryx Platform is helping to revolutionize decision making and portfolio analysis. Separating the wheat from the chaff in financial data with Alteryx takes moments, not weeks, as traditionally has been the case with manual operations. Alteryx helps us quickly and efficiently analyze vast amounts of fiscal data associated with investment funds and unearth valuable insights, which can help add value for our customers.”

Alteryx recently reported 96% year-over-year (YoY) growth in international markets for the full year 2018, which accounted for 29% of overall revenue as of December 31, 2018. — SG
