BI Made Easy
BI doesn't have to be complicated, but the fact is, it often winds up that way.
Gartner recently came out with a study that proves what I have known for a long time: many companies are floundering when it comes to implementing an effective, simple and coherent business intelligence strategy. The report found that many organizations spend upwards of 70% of their BI budgets to resolve ongoing problems, instead of investing in new BI technologies and processes.
If that is not a case for on-demand BI, I don't know what is. Many companies, especially mid-sized businesses with few IT resources, can easily get bogged down in the implementation and ongoing upkeep of a traditional BI system. These companies could instead opt for an on-demand BI model, where updates and upkeep are automatic. That leaves organizations more room to actually use their BI platform, instead of spending time on IT maintenance. And that means they can start gaining valuable strategic insights and improve business processes, the original goal of BI.
