Everything you need to evaluate the Enterprise Intelligence Platform

The Enterprise Intelligence Platform is an interoperable ecosystem comprising Enterprise DHIS2, Analytics Platform, Super BI, Convo AI, and Dharma, with advanced security embedded throughout.

Components can be deployed together as a full platform or selected according to an organisation's infrastructure, data environment, and use case. Data enters through collection tools, point-of-care device connectivity, and direct system integrations; flows through the central analytics and warehousing layer; and is surfaced through embedded dashboards, conversational AI, and connected partner software.

Yes. The platform is modular. Organisations can deploy Analytics Platform, Super BI, and Convo AI without BAO ConneX when device connectivity is not required, or without Dharma when field data collection is not needed.

Organisations already running DHIS2 or partner systems can add the Analytics Platform as an extension layer without replacing existing infrastructure.

EIP is built around HL7, FHIR, and OpenHIE, supporting interoperability with standards-compliant systems and existing national health information architecture.

EIP serves technical and non-technical roles within the same deployment, including data scientists, programme managers, ministers, public health leaders, and community partners.

Internationally, it is designed for ministries, national public health programmes, UN organisations, and implementing partners. In the United States, it supports state and local public health departments, agencies, and community partners.

Enterprise DHIS2 is BAO Systems' enterprise-grade DHIS2 hosting and managed service, available as a standalone product or as part of EIP. It adds high-performance analytics infrastructure, enterprise security, SSO, proactive monitoring, and premium support to a standard DHIS2 deployment.

Enterprise DHIS2 separates operational and analytics workloads, using PostgreSQL for transactional data and ClickHouse for analytics. BAO benchmarks show approximately 22× faster analytics query response times and around 5× faster analytics table generation compared with a standard PostgreSQL setup.

Security capabilities include a Web Application Firewall enforcing the OWASP Core Rule Set, continuous DAST scanning, proactive patching, real-time infrastructure monitoring, Infrastructure as Code, storage-volume encryption, SSL/TLS, and encrypted PostgreSQL connections.

Enterprise DHIS2 integrates with Microsoft Entra ID and Google Identity Platform. BAO Systems can also host a dedicated Keycloak instance when an organisation does not already have an identity provider.

Premium support includes priority response, a dedicated contact familiar with the deployment, proactive monitoring, quarterly reports, scheduled review meetings, an annual upgrade environment, compatibility reporting, and a structured upgrade test plan.

Yes. BAO Systems can provide managed hosting for tools commonly used alongside DHIS2, including ODK, Keycloak, and Apache Superset.

The standard managed service runs on AWS. Enterprise DHIS2 can also be deployed in an organisation's own Azure, GCP, AWS, or on-premise environment to meet data sovereignty and infrastructure requirements.

BAO ConneX is the EIP device-connectivity component. It ingests data from point-of-care laboratory devices, IoT hardware, and cold-chain equipment, including in environments with limited or unreliable connectivity.

ConneX supports molecular diagnostic devices, laboratory analysers, refrigerators, temperature monitors, and other compatible IoT hardware. Supported protocols include PC1A, HL7, custom XML payloads, and FHIR through ConneX Bridge.

Connect Link gateways include embedded cellular connectivity across more than 200 countries and 500 networks, use a private APN, queue data locally, and can defer transmission until network conditions improve.

Data is separated at ingestion into operational data, such as telemetry and connectivity metrics, and diagnostic data, such as laboratory results and patient-linked information. Access controls are enforced at both UI and API levels.

EIP also integrates with Nexleaf and EHA GHM for device connectivity.

ConneX Bridge routes processed device data into downstream systems such as laboratory information systems, EHRs, and HMIS platforms including DHIS2.

BAO Systems supports more than 2,000 point-of-care gateways across seven sub-Saharan African countries and more than 1,000 gateways in the United States.

Dharma is BAO Systems' cloud-based, mobile-first data collection tool for field surveys, emergency response, and programme monitoring. Non-technical teams can build forms without code, and collected data synchronises when connectivity becomes available.

Dharma and ODK are independent products. ODK is an open-source third-party tool supported through a native Analytics Platform connector. Dharma is a proprietary BAO Systems product and supports Apple iOS as well as other mobile deployment contexts.

The Analytics Platform automates data movement from multiple source systems into a central data warehouse and supports analysis through SQL, Python, R, natural-language querying, and embedded BI tools.

It is built on open-source foundations including PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, and Apache Superset, and is released under the BSD-3 Clause licence.

The platform includes 22+ no-code connectors covering DHIS2, ODK, CommCare, KoBoToolbox, Ona, iHRIS, FHIR, BAO ConneX, Nexleaf, EHA GHM, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Parquet, Moodle, CSV, and Excel.

Apache Superset is included. Power BI and Tableau are supported, along with any BI tool capable of connecting to a SQL data warehouse. Partner integrations include Esri, Fraym, PublishOne, Crosscut, and BroadReach Vantage.

Yes. Users can ask questions in plain language. The platform generates and executes SQL, then returns the result as a table and visualisation. Python and R scripts can also be generated from natural-language prompts.

Deployment patterns vary according to the source systems, security model, hosting environment, and intended analytics workflows. Detailed examples and setup guidance are available in the Analytics Platform documentation.

Convo AI is a DHIS2 application that provides a conversational interface to Analytics Platform data. It resolves plain-language questions to the relevant data elements, organisational units, and time periods, generates SQL, and returns charts and plain-language interpretations.

The Data Feed is a personalised analytics surface within Convo AI. Administrators assign topics to user profiles, and the platform surfaces automatically generated analyses and visualisations in a mobile-friendly, scrollable feed.

Convo AI is currently proprietary and is not included in the open-source AP release.

No. The model receives metadata such as data-element names, indicator names, attributes, and data-warehouse table structures. Patient records, PII, diagnostic results, and raw data values are not sent to an external model provider.

Google Gemini and OpenAI are currently supported. Customers can supply their own API key in both managed and self-hosted deployments. Support for self-hosted language models is planned.

The Analytics Platform creates one warehouse table per DHIS2 tracker programme. This allows generated SQL to join across programmes while preserving organisational-unit row-level security.

Super BI is a DHIS2 application that embeds Apache Superset dashboards built on Analytics Platform data directly inside the DHIS2 interface. Data is served from the warehouse, avoiding extra analytics load on the DHIS2 instance.

Yes. Super BI applies warehouse-level row security based on the authenticated DHIS2 user's organisational-unit assignments. A single dashboard can therefore return different data to different users.

Yes. One Analytics Platform deployment can ingest from multiple DHIS2 instances, including ministry, disease-surveillance, partner, and tracker systems, enabling cross-instance analysis in one warehouse.

The Model Context Protocol component connects Convo AI and other MCP-compatible AI tools directly to platform data through a standardised interface, reducing the need for bespoke integration whenever a new AI capability is introduced.

Yes. The Analytics Platform is released under the permissive BSD-3 Clause licence and is also available with commercial managed hosting and support. Convo AI is currently proprietary.

Analytics Platform installation, configuration, connector, and API guidance is available at the AP documentation site. Enterprise DHIS2 performance, security, support, and AI information is available on the Enterprise DHIS2 product site.
