Data Analytics for Government That Actually Works

Knowi has native connectors for Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Teradata, PostgreSQL, and dozens of other databases used in government IT environments. You also get REST API and JDBC connectors for modern platforms. Dashboards can query these sources directly without migrating data, so you avoid the cost and risk of a full data warehouse migration.

Yes. Knowi installs on-premises via Docker, Kubernetes, or bare-metal deployment. All features including AI and natural language querying run locally. No data ever leaves your network. This architecture is designed to support FISMA compliance, and Knowi's deployment model aligns with FedRAMP-ready requirements for agencies that need air-gapped or on-prem-only solutions.

Knowi's cross-source join engine queries each agency's database in place and blends the results at query time. For example, you can join health department case records with education enrollment data and public safety incident logs in a single query. Each agency keeps ownership of its own data while enabling cross-agency analysis for policy and program decisions.

Yes. Knowi's natural language search lets program managers, analysts, and agency leadership type questions in plain English — such as 'show me grant disbursements by state this quarter' — and get instant charts and tables. No SQL, no Python, no technical training. Role-based access controls ensure each user only sees data they are authorized to view.

Tableau and Power BI require data to be extracted into a warehouse or data model before analysis. Knowi queries raw sources directly — Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, REST APIs — and joins them on the fly. This removes the ETL layer that often delays government BI projects by months. Knowi also includes built-in machine learning and natural language querying that Tableau and Power BI do not offer natively. For on-prem requirements, Knowi provides a full-featured local deployment, whereas Tableau Server and Power BI Report Server have feature limitations compared to their cloud versions.

Knowi connects directly to your financial management system — whether that is Oracle Financials, SAP, or a custom database — and lets you build dashboards that compare appropriations, obligations, and expenditures by department, program, and fund code. You can drill down to line-item detail, set alerts for budget variance thresholds, and schedule automated reports for leadership review. No manual spreadsheet reconciliation required.

Yes. Knowi can connect to your grants management system and financial databases to track disbursements, match rates, milestone completion, and compliance deadlines in a single dashboard. You can set automated alerts for approaching deadlines or spending thresholds. Cross-source joins let you combine grant financial data with program outcome metrics to demonstrate impact for federal reporting requirements.

Knowi connects to your 311 system, permitting database, and CRM to display request volumes, response times, resolution rates, and SLA compliance in real-time dashboards. You can segment by service type, geography, and department. Threshold alerts notify managers when response times exceed targets. Embedded dashboards can also be published to public-facing portals for transparency reporting.

Knowi's on-premises deployment keeps all data and processing within your agency's own infrastructure, which simplifies FISMA compliance since data never traverses external networks. The platform supports SSO via SAML, role-based access control, audit logging, and encryption at rest and in transit. Knowi's architecture is FedRAMP-ready, and the team works with agency security offices on Authority to Operate (ATO) documentation.
