An alternative to traditional BI tools

An alternative to traditional BI tools: a local, on-prem alternative for Azerbaijani business — see how Hermes compares.

A Modern Alternative to Traditional BI

Traditional business intelligence platforms often create bottlenecks, requiring dedicated analysts, complex query builders, and lengthy setup processes before a single business question can be answered. This dependency slows down decision-making and limits data accessibility to only those with technical SQL expertise. Hermes by Allmaz eliminates these barriers by allowing any team member to interact with their data using natural language, transforming the way organizations access their internal insights. By converting plain-language questions into precise SQL queries, Hermes enables your team to receive live answers drawn directly from your own databases. Designed specifically for the regional market, it is trilingual and built with a security-first architecture. Because it is self-hosted and operates on a least-privilege basis, Hermes provides the agility of a modern AI tool without compromising the strict data sovereignty and security standards your organization requires.
