Signify Research provides market research and ongoing insights into the Healthcare Technology sector and is a leading authority in Medical Imaging, Clinical Care, Digital Health Diagnostics & Lifesciences and Healthcare IT.

Specialist technology provider Content Catalyst has today announced the launch of its new Power BI Visualiser feature.

Transforming the delivery of data exhibits within the company’s flagship content delivery platform, Publish Interactive, the Power BI Visualiser is a deep integration with Microsoft’s leading data visualisation tool, Power BI.

The integration enables users of the Publish Interactive platform to embed Power BI-powered data exhibits directly into textual reports as well as publish standalone data dashboards. The Power BI Visualiser also overcomes the logistical and cost-prohibitive challenges associated with applying user-specific licenses to Power BI-authored content.

The new development from the Cambridge-based firm is the latest in a long line of other integrations with other leading software tools, including SSO providers Okta and Microsoft Azure AD and video hosting service, Vimeo.

Edwin Bailey, Content Catalyst’s Chief Operating Officer, commented on the launch of the Power BI Visualiser: “Working predominantly with publishers of market analysis, our team noticed the growing appetite among information consumers for interactive, customisable data exhibits, able to accurately reflect current volatile market conditions. We are delighted with the release of this development that will ensure the Publish Interactive platform stays ahead of market analysis content delivery trends.”

Analyst firms traditionally delivered data as flat graphs, charts or as Excel spreadsheets, but increasingly large, complex datasets have led to increased demand for new ways of presenting and rationalising this data. Data visualisation tools, such as Microsoft Power BI, filled this gap.

Additional benefits of the integration include a seamless authentication experience between the Power BI and Publish Interactive worlds meaning no extra log-in steps are required to access Power BI content.

Publishers of market analysis providers can book a Power BI Visualiser demo here.

Publishing technology provider Content Catalyst has published a new whitepaper detailing the B2B information industry’s changing complexion during the pandemic and the opportunities technology presents to analyst firms looking to drive recurring income.

Becoming a subscriber-first market analysis provider – How niche research firms can use technology to successfully shift from a transactional model to recurring revenues examines how technology can empower market intelligence providers by helping them develop subscription services that, in turn, enable end-users to maximise their use of research information and data.

Author of the whitepaper, Edwin Bailey, Marketing Director at Content Catalyst said, “The pandemic has highlighted that market intelligence providers cannot depend on advertising or selling one-off reports and data to disparate customers. There is a huge opportunity to drive subscription revenue and become a profitable subscriber-first business. This will also help to future-proof publishers’ income and make them less reliant on more fickle revenue sources.”

The 16-page whitepaper will help publishing executives better understand how to:

• Use technology to offer personalised subscription packages.
• Lower risks of revenue loss through IP breaches.
• Develop compelling end-user experiences to generate engagement.
• Put usage data at the heart of the customer relationship.

The paper will help those market publishers who already offer digital subscription services add finesse by optimising operations and maximising the quality of service they offer to end users.
