Drastin’s search-driven/voice-enabled conversational analytics offers the simplicity to access and analyze enterprise data sources, and democratizes data to decision-makers.

With a Google-like search box and an Alexa-like voice-enabled search, Drastin’s conversational analytics empowers users to pose questions in simple English and build interactive reports and dashboards - all in seconds and with zero training.
