Is Traditional Business Intelligence Putting You Off?
We hear people complain about traditional Business Intelligence all the time. People often find traditional Business Intelligence expensive, rigid, and difficult to use. Why should you have to have a computer science degree just to analyse your business data? Luckily, the new Business Intelligence is rapid-fire and is a whole new approach.
Traditional Business Intelligence Is Not Intuitive
There is a problem in traditional Business Intelligence where the users of the technology more often than not are not familiar with the terminology and technology in the Business Intelligence application they are given. The terminology in Business Intelligence is alien to most other fields, so it’s like having to learn a new discipline all over again. Even in terms of discussing the requirements for the Business Intelligence system, users can be left confused when they should be actively involved in choosing their Business Intelligence system. Does Business Intelligence really have to be this complicated? We don’t think so.
The Cost of the Business Intelligence Prototype or “Trial”
It’s obviously a great idea to try out a system, and create a pilot project, before you invest in a whole load of Business Intelligence infrastructure. Unfortunately this can eat into most companies’ budgets, and estimating the ROI of Business Intelligence software can actually be unfeasible. We believe in trying before you buy, which is why we recommend choosing a Business Intelligence solution that offers a completely free trial, so that you can get to grips with the software and decide for yourself if this is the Business Intelligence software for you.
Costly Infrastructure Of Traditional Business Intelligence
A common problem with traditional Business Intelligence implementations is that the cost of the infrastructure can be very expensive. So there can be a high cost not just for software, but for effort and other resources too. A newer and revolutionary Business Intelligence solution does not require such an investment in infrastructure and networking, and will always work out to be far more cost effective.
A Rigid User Interface and Workflow
Traditional Business Intelligence interfaces make the workflow quite rigid. The methodology required can make life overly complicated and waste a lot of time. Traditional Business Intelligence has rigid phases, and is not flexible to change. Even still, it requires a number of people for each phase of development- all together too complicated. Business Intelligence does not need to be this complicated at all- in fact, rapid-fire BI is simple for one person to use, and presents itself with an intuitive graphical user interface which allows drill-down through workflow layers. All together more efficient!
These problems mean that implementing traditional Business Intelligence is not an easy affair. Certainly if you need a quick answer to a question, traditional Business Intelligence will fail you. This is where rapid-fire Business Intelligence comes in.
