Hi developers!
How to build an analytics solution with InterSystems IRIS?

To begin with, let's agree on the points of what is the analytics solution - and this could be a very wide topic. Let's limit the set of solutions to those you can present in the Analytics contest.
There are three kinds of analytics solutions that we will review here: monitoring, interactive analytics, and reporting.
Monitoring
The typical monitoring solution consists of an online dashboard with KPIs that are being actively updated.
The key use case is of monitoring is to visually observe the KPI of fresh data every moment to react in case of an emergency.
Interactive Analytics
This solution supposes a set of interactive dashboards with filters and drill-downs.
The key use case is to explore the data with filters and drill-downs making business decisions upon graph and table data visualization.
Reporting
Reporting solution provides a set of static (usually) reports in a form of HTML or pdf documents that deliver the data in graph and text form in a predesigned form and could be sent via email.
The typical use case of a reporting system is to obtain reports on a given period that will illustrate the status of the product, process, service, sales, etc that is crucial for the business.
How InterSystems products could be used to build such solutions? Let's discuss this below!
Hey Developers,

Hey Developers,
We're pleased to announce the next InterSystems online programming competition:
🏆 InterSystems AI Programming Contest 🏆
Duration: June 28 - July 25, 2021
Total prize: $8,750
Landing page: https://contest.intersystems.com
Hi Developers!
Here're the technology bonuses for the InterSystems IRIS AI contest that will give you extra points in the voting.
Use InterSystems IntegratedML in you AI/ML solution. Here is the template that uses it.
Be sure that the IRIS version is not less than 2021. The latest ML images with ZPM are:
intersystemsdc/iris-ml-community:2021.1.0.215.0-zpm
intersystemsdc/irishealth-ml-community:2021.1.0.215.0-zpm
R Gateway and Python gateway usage - 4 points
InterSystems IRIS 2021 release contains two new features - R gateway and Python gateway. Here is the template on how to use the R gateway. Here is a short demo of how to use it.
Embedded Python usage - 4 points
Embedded Python is a very new feature of InterSystems IRIS that gives you the option to use python as a "first-class citizen" in backend business logic development with InterSystems classes. Short demo of Embedded Python.
Embedded python could be used in "on-demand" images that could be delivered via InterSystems Early Access Program (EAP) if you refer to python-interest@intersystems.com.
Here is the template package on how to use Embedded Python deployable with ZPM. Don't forget to change the image to the one you get from the Early Access program.
PMML usage - 4 points
PMML - Predictive Modelling Markup Language - can be used to build AI/ML solutions with InterSystems IRIS. Check with documentation.
There is an example in Open Exchange on how to use PMML.
Hey Developers,
We have some good news for you:
💥 InterSystems AI contest participants can use Embedded Python in their solutions! So if you are not yet a member of the Embedded Python Early Access Program (EAP), now is the time!
Refer to python-interest@intersystems.com and you'll get FREE access to the InterSystems IRIS Embedded Python features.
In addition, we invite all EAP participants to the special Embedded Python kick-off webinar tomorrow, July 6 at 10:00 AM EDT – an easy start on how to use Embedded Python! Demonstration of the new features of the data platform, examples applications, and of course rewards.
