Objectives and Summary
In order to fulfill the requirement of IT administration Spotfire is required to be used by different enterprises. For managing Agile project Scrum project management methodology is used. After adaptation of this platform the online accounting software delivering company named as Reckon will be able to increase their work efficiency. The software and the technology both are proposed for those who are genuinely willing information on the administration and deployment capabilities of TIBCO Spotfire.
The features of TIBCO Spotfire increase the overall working efficiency of the business organization in terms of security, scalability, administration, data connection and design architecture at the same time (Giese et al., 2015). The architecture platform used by TIBCO Spotfire is client server architecture. In this architecture the client and server use communicate with each other over the communication channel. TIBCO software Inc. is an America based business organization that provides integrated and analytical event processing software packages to different IT organizations (Chavan et al., 2015). In order to use on premise and cloud computing ambiance properly this software is found to be very much effective.
To investigate the importance and application SQL (Structures Query Language) queries for data management and examining the way through which the TIBCO Spotfire software can be used in business organizations
- To understand the SQL joining processes and the basic virtualization techniques and different types of dashboards
- To evaluate the way through which a dashboard can be created
- To study customization approaches with the help of IroPython scripting language, html and css
After successful completion of the study the exact usage of this technology and how it helps to increase the overall business efficiency will become clear. In order to build digital business with the help of innovation, analytics and integration are required (Lawrence, 2014). Reckon will be able to achieve competitive advantages from the marketplace after interconnecting all the business activities with integrated platform where the client and the server could interact with each other efficiently. Basically in order to provide a dedicated working environment to the users the TIBCO software is used. In order to develop the applications of dynamic queries again the data management system is needed (Calvanese et al., 2017). For conducting the study in a perfect direction TIBCO Spotfire is very much essential.
In order to understand the relationship between the client and server the usability of visual analytical application is increasing rapidly throughout the world (Li & Jagadish, 2014). Due to the advantages of visualization complexity of the data set, this technology is used. For performing the interactive analytics and visual activities, the visual interactive analytics are used by the clients. The TIBCO Spotfire offers executive dashboard, data analytics, data virtualization and KPI push to mobile devices (Cheney, Lindley & Wadler, 2013). The initiation could be starts from smaller aspect and could be expanded to large scale. Even the existing business could also complement the existing business intelligence by utilizing the dashboard of Spotfire. After studying the features of this system it has been found that the business perspectives could be affected both positively and negatively. The usage of this technology is very easy, additionally the quality and the functionality and the quality served by TIBCO Spotfire is also very effective (Lawrence, 2014). After conducting survey the advantages and disadvantages if this technology is determined.
Detailed Description of Tasks Completed

The platform of TIBCO Spotfire use client server architecture for analyzing the information that are using by the clients of Spotfire. All the clients of the software are connected to the central component of the server. On the other hand multiple numbers of nodes are installed and connected to the database of Spotfire. In order to allow the web client of Spotfire server, the client nodes installs the Automation services and web players actively (Guagliardo & Libkin, 2016). For analyzing the data stored and for configuring the files, Spotfire database is used. For storing and retrieving data from the server, appropriate SQL queries are required to be generated by the system developer.
Background of the Spotfire server
The Spotfire server is an administrative center used for the Spotfire ambiance, Tomcat web application which generally runs over both the Windows and Linux operating system (Bagosi, et al., 2014). In order to configure the administrating the Spotfire environment, the application provides different analytical tools.
After analyzing the importance of database management system in managing data it has been found that mainly for the back end database programming and designing structured query language is widely used by the business organization (Guagliardo & Libkin, 2016). Basically for storing data in the server and for retrieving data from the server, query languages are used. It provides high range of authentication to the clients also it mean none of the external users could not fetch data from the server without permission (Bagosi et al., 2014). The experiences gained from the study are as follows:
SQL portability: The SQL query languages could run over mainframes such as PCs, Laptops, and Smartphones and even in tablets. On the other hand, both in intranet and internet these queries could run (Li & Jagadish, 2014). Additionally, SQL is portable means regardless of time and location this could be transferred from one device to another.
Open source: SQL database can be used in a lower cost and even this could be used by different vendors such as IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft etc.
Language efficiency: The SQL query language mainly uses English statement language. Thus, for query learning and writing English language is used which is easier for the developers.
Client server database: This architecture and SQL is used to connect the clients and the server where the clients operate in the front end and the database at the back end (Giese et al., 2015).
Interactive language: The SQL interactive language can be used to achieve frequent answer of the query questions.
Technical and Other Experience Gained
Skills: In order to develop a SQL language and to run a program over the operating system, technically skilled IT support team is needed (Ahadi, et al., 2016). They are required to be aware of development program of the web application. Not only this but also the for the business analysis skills require SQL skills.
After data analysis it has been found that, addition of certain lied to a programming code is quite easier but at the same time, SQL database interfacing is much difficult and complex (Calvanese et al., 2017). It was though that after completion of the entire course study required queries could be developed easily for storing and retrieving data from the data server. However, still certain limitations are facing (Armbrust et al., 2016). Though, the HTML codes are needed to contain HTTPS contents rather than HTTP. It has been expected that, by using IronPython scripting language server customization is easier through during implementation it is found to be very much difficult.
In traditional days most of the issues used to occur due to improper data management. Thus, in order to overcome this problem, most of the Reckon has adapted the database management system to combat the issues of manual data management. With the help of SQL query language, the users will be able to fetch data from the server after running the query (Cheney, Lindley & Wadler, 2013). Usage of this technical advancement improved the work efficiency of Reckon. As the company delivers online accounting software packages thus by adapting this platform the data management process will become much easier to them.
Security: Though usage of this technology improves the work efficiency but security is referred to as one of the major concerns that are highly required to be considered by Reckon.
Expert team: In order to develop the SQL queries and for developing the current system expert team is required to be hired by Reckon.
Proper dashboard management: On a single screen the clients and employees both will be able to search for their desired products. Therefore, with the changing technology the company is needed to hire experiences developers to make the dashboard more attractive to their consumers.
Conclusion:
For managing large scale information within the data server, proper understanding of database management system including SQL queries and the analytical software installation processes are elaborated in this report. In addition to this, different types of dashboards and the techniques of basic virtualization are also demonstrated in this report. In order to create dashboard how the customized filtering schemes are used and what the safety measured that should be undertaken by the online accounting software Reckon is report. Moreover, it has been found that the overall working efficiency is increased after the adaptation of TIBO Spotfire platform. Apart from this, though using SQL (Structures Query Language) is beneficial for enterprises for data management but certain issues are associated to this. In order to mitigate those issues proper recommendations are also discussed in this report.
