We have been hard at work optimising the backend services and business intelligence model that sit behind Open Data Blend Analytics without causing any disruptions to the service. The end result is that all users of Open Data Blend Analytics will experience a performance improvement of up to 50% across most queries submitted from their client tools including Excel, Power BI, and Tableau. This means even quicker answers to the continuous stream of analytical questions.
