"Companies facing critical business issues know that they need to act fast and act smart, but they often don’t have the right information at their fingertips to investigate and quickly resolve the problem," says Bob Potter, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Business Information and Analytics at Rocket Software. "While there are many self-service BI solutions on the market, we continue to hear about critical functionality that these solutions lack: self-service data preparation, access to the mainframe, and scalable performance. With this in mind, we built Rocket Discover to be a world-class visual data discovery tool for business users that addressed these gaps."

Rocket Discover’s emphasis on intuitive design for self-service data preparation and discovery makes this possible.
