The document discusses the need for analytics capabilities beyond operational reporting for subscription businesses to drive growth. It outlines gaps in the current reporting product and proposes a new analytics approach with unified data, custom metrics and transforms, and interactive analyses and visualizations. Key priorities for the analytics product include an explorer for analyses, configurable dashboards, and evolving data APIs to support both real-time and delayed querying and analytics transforms.

8. Current product challenges and gaps
Business metrics and Trends MRR net of discounts, AR Aging As-of
Dated UX Cumbersome UI, not interactive
Hard to understand Data Model Account and RatePlanChargeTier don’t join
Cannot create arbitrary transforms Invoice items with and without payment details
Calculated fields Custom calculated fields, Currency conversion
Combined aggregations Booking, Subscription, Revenue combined metrics
Single entity Multi-entity rollups
Projections and Predictions Future Unbilled, Estimated Usage
Limitations Examples
Current capabilities are centered around Operational Reporting,
difficult to use for Analytics use-cases
9. Operational Reporting versus Analytics requirements
Operating detail specific to domain Analyses and insights to grow the business
Current and historical context Current, historical and future context
