Holistics vs Fulcrum
Side-by-side trajectory, velocity, and editorial themes.
Holistics leans into analytics-as-code with agentic dev workflows and a Power BI migration path
Holistics is a BI platform built around analytics-as-code, where models and dashboards are defined in its AMQL language and version-controlled in Git. Recent releases push on three fronts at once: competitive migration (a one-command Power BI importer), AI-native authoring (Claude Code setup skills and a conversational Ask AI), and steady breadth work like an Oracle connector and org-level GitHub App auth. The throughline is making the code-first workflow easier to adopt and operate.
The direction is to lower the switching cost from incumbent BI tools while betting that analytics teams will work through agents and code rather than point-and-click. Migration tooling and agentic setup skills both target the same friction: getting a team productive in Holistics fast. Parallel embed and dashboard-runtime polish (auto-run, KPI styling) point to a continued focus on the embedded-analytics use case.
Expect the migration story to extend to other incumbents and the agentic-development skills to deepen, given the back-to-back Power BI importer and Claude Code setup releases. Embedded-analytics controls look set to keep maturing.
Fulcrum keeps hardening field GIS capture on a steady weekly cadence.
Fulcrum ships on a predictable weekly rhythm across web, iOS, and Android, and the work is concentrated on field mapping and ArcGIS interoperability. Recent releases center on map annotation, geometry rendering, and offline reliability rather than new product surface.
The arc is incremental hardening of the mobile GIS workflow — WMS and ArcGIS connectivity fixes, map scale bars, background GPS tracking — punctuated by occasional field-UX additions like sketching on a captured map. It reads as a mature product optimizing its core rather than changing direction.
Expect the weekly web and mobile cadence to continue, with more map-annotation and ArcGIS-integration refinements. Nothing in these entries points to a larger platform shift.
