Tableau BI Is the New Kid On The Block
Do you work for a mid-sized or large organisation with hundreds to thousands of employees? Does your organisation have silos, divisions, departments, standards, initiatives, roadblocks, politics and players? Is it time to standardize on your big, slow-moving, heavy duty
business intelligence package?
You may have heard of the new generation of
business intelligence which is being led by Tableau Software, but you’re not quite sure what it does or how it can help you. We are here to help you understand what this new form of rapid-fire
business intelligence is and how it can help your organisation.
Rapid-fire
BI is a totally new approach to providing true business intelligence. It is well known that while traditional BI platforms perfected scheduled, parameterized reports, they do not really provide self-service business intelligence. The new approach to BI is delivering dramatically better business results. Importantly, it is much easier to deploy, administer, and scale. It can also allow users of all levels to ask and answer questions themselves in a matter of seconds. Rapid-fire
BI lets its users explore and analyze their data independently, while reducing the burden that heavy BI platforms place on IT.
So what are the five main attributes of a truly rapid-fire BI solution?
A User-Driven Approach
Analytics and reporting are decentralized and produced by the people using the results. IT provides the infrastructure, but business people create their reports and dashboards.
Easy Visual Interfaces
Rapid-fire
business intelligence user interfaces will leverage the human brain and natural curiosity- results are visual and interactive. Your people will get their answers faster and they will be smarter and more effective. If your people don’t find the software easy to use, they won’t use the software, will they?
Flexible Configurations
If you are one business analyst with one data source or representing 10,000 analysts with hundreds of data sources, the software needs to be configurable and priced in order to support any number of users and sources.
High Performance
BI needs to run fast. And your
business intelligence solution should have multiple means of getting that performance. Different departments and organisations have different needs.
Easy Administration
Your IT department should be able to support the new BI applications with existing staff and infrastructure. There should be no extra costs incurred through administering the new software.
