The Challenges
High Licensing Costs, Limited Scalability and Adoption
Zynex’s previous analytics automation platform (Alteryx) required expensive per-user licenses, making it difficult to scale data operations. As the company grew and more users needed access, the rising licensing costs became increasingly difficult to justify. On top of that, Alteryx’s platform complexity slowed adoption across departments, limiting its usability beyond technical teams.
Legacy Platforms Didn’t Scale for Cloud Adoption
Zynex did try to transition from an on-prem Alteryx setup to hosting Alteryx on its private cloud, but this came with its own limitations and scalability issues. They faced latency issues and struggled to integrate Alteryx with other platforms like Netsuite, Microsoft SQL, UKG, and Dialpad — critical to Zynex’s operations. As the company expanded, these constraints increased infrastructure costs and slowed down data processes.
Lack of Centralized Data Governance
Zynex planned to expand its in-house analytics team while strengthening data governance. While their IT team was skilled at preventing shadow IT risks, Alteryx didn’t offer centralized tools to track and control analytical workflows. The legacy platform didn’t provide built-in oversight for data access, leading analysts to run local workflows outside IT’s visibility. This created data inaccuracies, workflow redundancies, and compliance challenges — especially in finance, where audit trails are crucial. Untracked ad-hoc requests also bottlenecked critical workflows, delaying higher-priority tasks.
The Solution
Intuitive No-Code Platform for All Users
Savant’s low-code/no-code platform and built-in Gen AI capabilities empowered non-technical users to build complex data analyses without needing deep technical expertise. Zynex’s analysts were able to replace complex Excel-based workflows, which involved macros, connected workbooks, and manual data manipulation, in just a few weeks, which would have previously taken months with traditional platforms. This ease of use enabled teams to become self-sufficient, reducing reliance on IT and speeding up the delivery of critical insights.
Cost-Effective Analytics at Scale
By switching to Savant’s consumption-based pricing, Zynex saved 60% in costs compared to Alteryx’s per-user licensing model. This allowed them to scale their data operations without the financial burden of per-user licenses and offered flexibility to manage their growing data needs. Savant’s cloud-native platform also helped Zynex reduce infrastructure costs and eliminate the need for on-premise hardware tied to legacy systems.
Gen AI-Powered Automation for Faster Workflows
With Savant, Zynex experienced a significant improvement in workflow efficiency. Complex analysis workflows were reduced by up to 50%, meaning they could achieve the same data outputs with far fewer steps and much faster processing time. Savant was the only cloud platform that provided the speed Zynex needed, enabling them to gain faster insights and act on data more quickly than with their previous legacy analytics platform.
Centralized Governance With Full Audit Visibility
Savant enabled Zynex’s finance team to track every data workflow with detailed change logs and runtime records. This eliminated shadow IT and ensured all platform activities were tracked and detailed audit logs were generated, making compliance with financial audit requirements easier. With complete visibility and centralized data management, Zynex could now ensure accuracy and governance at all stages.
Seamless Cloud Integration With No Bottlenecks
As a native, cloud-based SaaS platform, Savant’s ability to integrate easily with cloud products like Netsuite, Microsoft SQL, Dialpad, and UKG made it an ideal choice for Zynex’s cloud-first strategy. As Zynex transitioned from on-prem tools to a hybrid cloud and full-cloud environment, Savant’s integration with hundreds of applications ensured smooth data flow across platforms. Zynex was able to connect various data sources without the typical latency issues, which allowed them to make faster decisions and scale their operations efficiently.
