Swivel: Analysis as a Service?


 

Swivel

 

Swivel is a service that allows users to upload datasets from virtually any source.  These datasets are then spun through Swivel’s analysis engine, and the end products are nifty cross-sectional graphical representations of induced correlation between the datasets.  For example - Per Capita Income vs. Property Crime.  We’ve blogged in greater detail about Swivel in The SaaS Swivel, Double Line, and Rig Setup.  Billed as ‘… a place where curious people explore all kinds of data’, we think Swivel has broader implications than this tagline suggests.  Swivel’s concept is perhaps the ultimate service-oriented enterprise utility… a service with the ability to act on data, not just store it.
