How do Tower's BI platform plugins work?

Tower's plugins for Spotfire, Snowflake (Native App), and Grafana add AI-powered chart generation and insights directly within your existing BI environment. You can generate charts through natural language chat and get predictive and prescriptive analytics without leaving your preferred platform. All plugins are available on request.

Can Tower connect to databases behind firewalls?

Yes, Tower supports secure connections to on-premises databases through VPN, SSH tunneling, and other enterprise security protocols. Our team works with your IT department to ensure secure, compliant connections to databases behind firewalls.

How does the actions functionality maintain security?

Tower's actions use secure APIs with proper authentication and authorization. All actions are logged for audit purposes, and you can configure approval workflows for sensitive operations. Role-based access control ensures only authorized users can execute actions.

What if my data source isn't listed in the connectors?

Our team can develop custom connectors for unique data sources or work with you to find alternative integration patterns. We also support REST APIs and webhooks for connecting to systems without native connectors.

Do the BI plugins require special licensing?

The BI platform plugins work with your existing Spotfire, Snowflake, or Grafana licenses. You'll need a Tower subscription to access the AI capabilities. Contact us for specific licensing requirements and integration details.

Can I use Tower's actions with custom business applications?

Yes, Tower can integrate with custom applications through REST APIs, webhooks, and other standard integration methods. Our team works with your developers to create secure, reliable action integrations for your specific business applications.
