There is such a need. Lovely need for data aggregation. Especially sharply it becomes when the number of data sources is growing far beyond ten, and the flow from each source is threatening to engulf you totally.
What analyst can do in such case? There are different ways. It is possible to create the aggregator by your own, or to provide task for developers, or you can use ready-made solution. I personally prefer Cyfe service, which I want to introduce to you.
Cyfe is a service, which allow to create dashboards by applying different types of pre-defined and custom widgets. For example:
- Google AdWords

- Slideshare
- Bing Ads
- Vimeo
- etc.

Among that Cyfe allow to create Custom Widgets on your own, for example: tables, charts, SQL or using Push API.
That way Cyfe can be used by Sales and by Marketing, by Media and Finance segment, and by all the people, who need Monitoring and Analytics.
