Bold BI 2025 Recap: Key Highlights, Awards & Success Stories

TL;DR: 2025 was a big year for Bold BI®—both in what we shipped and in how customers used it to deliver embedded analytics at scale. This Bold BI 2025 recap highlights the year’s biggest platform improvements, AI-driven capabilities, connectivity and deployment upgrades, customer recognition, and success stories that validated its impact. If you’re building analytics into an application, you’ll see what changed in 2025, why it matters, and what it enables for 2026.

Introduction

Shipping embedded analytics isn’t just about visualizing data—it’s about delivering an experience that’s fast to build, easy to understand, and reliable at scale. In 2025, Bold BI focused on removing the friction that slows teams down, from insight interpretation and AI context loss to performance bottlenecks and complex infrastructure requirements. The year brought meaningful platform improvements alongside real customer adoption and recognition.

Here’s is a look at Bold BI’s key 2025 year-end recap highlights, followed by what customers shared about their experience, the industry recognition earned during the year, and a brief look at the goals shaping what comes next in 2026. Let’s get started.

Bold BI’s Top Analytics Highlights in 2025

In this recap, we summarize how the platform evolved to help teams build, embed, and scale analytics more effectively—by improving insight discovery, platform performance, data connectivity, and deployment reliability.

1. Faster insights with AI that stays in context

Embedded analytics slows down when users keep asking “what does this mean?” and AI sessions don’t carry context forward. In 2025, Bold BI made AI more usable for product teams, developers, and stakeholders by keeping conversations connected and bringing AI help into embedded experiences—so people can get answers faster with less back-and-forth.

Updates include unified AI chat history, SDK-embedded AI Assistant, Bring-Your-Own-Key (BYOK) model, and AI Agent (beta) enhancements like dashboard summary, automatic dashboard creation, and widget insights to speed up interpretation and decision-making.

2.  Faster, more reliable performance at scale

As dashboards and usage grow, performance issues quickly become product issues. Bold BI’s 2025 platform improvements help teams keep embedded dashboards responsive and stable under heavy workloads and higher concurrency.

Bold BI upgraded core services from .NET 6.0 to .NET 8.0, improving execution speed, efficiency, and stability—especially for complex dashboards and production-scale usage.

3. Richer dashboards with modern visuals and stronger data modeling

Dashboards are only effective when they communicate clearly and reflect real data relationships. In 2025, Bold BI improved dashboard expressiveness and modeling so teams can build cleaner datasets and more understandable reports with less manual effort.

This includes 12 new V2 chart types and support for one-to-many and many-to-many relationships, helping teams reduce workarounds and scale dashboards as data complexity grows.

4. Expanded data connectivity with unified connector support

Analytics projects stall when teams rely on exports, manual refresh steps, or custom integrations to access key systems. In 2025, Bold BI expanded connectivity so teams can bring more enterprise and modern data sources into dashboards with less integration effort.

New additions include NetSuite, Trino (Presto category), Microsoft Fabric, DB Atlas SQL (ODBC Mongo), Neo4j (ODBC), Salesforce Reports (Data Hub), plus Data Hub destinations like IBM DB2, Teradata, SAP HANA Cloud, and Firebolt.

5. Simplified deployment and operations across modern infrastructure

Even great dashboards fail if deployments are hard to standardize across environments. In 2025, Bold BI reduced operational friction for DevOps and enterprise teams running Kubernetes, mixed AMD/ARM infrastructure, and cloud storage setups.

Key improvements include multicontainer manifest support for AMD and ARM, RPM-based deployment, Amazon S3, Oracle File Storage support, and Oracle database su

6. Low-friction embedded access without compromising control

Customer portals often need “no-login” analytics, but teams still need permission control. In 2025, Bold BI improved embedded sharing so organizations can reduce access friction without opening up data. Anonymous embedding is now supported based on group permissions, making it easier to deliver external dashboards while still enforcing governed visibility.

Now that you’ve seen Bold BI’s key analytics advancements in 2025, let’s explore how customers put these updates into action—and the real-world impact they delivered across industries and deployments.
