Insights Can Help with your COVID-19 Response

We are also able to provide access to the Starschema COVID-19 data set. We are using this data in Insights to provide you with a special set of dashboards designed to help with your planning around the COVID-19 pandemic and make informed, data-driven decisions as you respond to the global health emergency. Combined with your Serraview data, Insights is designed to help you visualize which of your buildings may need the greatest attention during this crisis and how and when you may be able to return your workforce to the workplace.

Important Note about Insights Data

Aligned with industry best-practice and for performance reasons, Insights is based on point-in-time information stored in our Insights data warehouse (Snowflake). 

Currently, the Insights data warehouse is updated over-night for a full ETL i.e. whenever you use Insights you will be looking at yesterday's data. 

• For our North American customers, overnight is based on Eastern time. 
• For our Australian customers, overnight is based on Australian Eastern Time. 
• For our Singaporean customers, overnight is based on Singapore Time. 
• For our European customers, overnight is based on Central European Time. 

Also, it is updated hourly for time-series data such as Bookings, Badge, Sensor, and SVLive.

For more details on data model, see Insights Data Model and Insights Unified Data Model.

Insights Direct Connect

Insights Direct Connect allows you to plug directly into our Snowflake Data Warehouse via an encrypted ODBC connection. 

Most of the popular Business Intelligence (BI) tools on the market, such as Tableau and Microsoft Power BI allow you to connect to ODBC data sources like Insights Direct Connect. For details, see either:

• Connect using Insights Direct Connect from PowerBI to Snowflake

Your IT Department might also want to make use of this ODBC connection to power integrations with your internal systems, or to populate an internal data lake where you can combine your Serraview data with other data sources.
