Amazon QuickSight is a fast, cloud-powered business intelligence (BI) service that makes it easy to build visualizations, perform ad-hoc analysis, and quickly get business insights from your data. In this session, we demonstrate how you can point Amazon QuickSight to AWS data stores, flat files, or other third-party data sources and begin visualizing your data in minutes. We also introduce you to SPICE -  a Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory, Calculation Engine in Amazon QuickSight, which performs advanced calculations and render visualizations rapidly without requiring any additional infrastructure, SQL programming, or dimensional modeling, so you can seamlessly scale to hundreds of thousands of users and petabytes of data. Lastly, you will see how Amazon QuickSight provides you with smart visualizations and graphs that are optimized for your different data types, to ensure the most suitable and appropriate visualization to conduct your analysis, and how to share these visualization stories using the built-in collaboration tools.
