Analytics Platform Software Development

I am looking to develop an analytics platform that incorporates data mapping, analysis and export functions. I would like something similar to KNIME ([login to view URL]) but with additional functionalities. The goal here is to create something where data can be fed in, manipulated, stats tests can be run and a quick output to excel and powerpoint. Alto of the software will use API (SQL and SAS) but have strong computational power. The person who takes this on can utilize alot of open source code, so it wont be all wiritng code from scratch. The KNIME platform is open source. More details on exactly what I am lookign for will come to the person who is hired for this project. Ideally, the person will build the platform (Phase 1) and after testing, will be hired for Phase 2 for updates and changes.
