How to identify rapid fire Business Intelligence and if you have it
It’s the new buzz-phrase on the market: “rapid fire business intelligence” (or rapid-fire BI) is the new approach to providing true business intelligence. Even though the traditional business intelligence platforms have perfected scheduled, parameterized reports, they don’t really provide the kind of business intelligence most people need- on tap business intelligence, available to you any time, and at your own service.
Old-school business intelligence systems provide standardized, fixed reporting. They only give you a static view of the business, and are architecturally rigid. The utilization rates in traditional business intelligence actually tend to be quite low, and don’t really cope well with change. The speed of business today actually requires rapid-fire adaptation, with the ability to make changes on the fly. An old school business intelligence system will be familiar to you as a solution with very poor user interfaces, inflexibility, and is probably a rip-off too. A lot of old school-school systems even require you to buy a minimum amount of licenses- these won’t be of any use to you if you are a one-man operation or small business!
The new, rapid-fire approach to business intelligence solves all of these issues. And with a rapid-fire business intelligence solution like Tableau, you can buy only the amount of licenses you really need, which saves a ton on costs. Remember to learn and recognize the five attributes of rapid fire business intelligence:
-A user driven approach
-A great, aesthetically pleasing and importantly, easy to use visual interface
-Flexible solutions and configurations to fit your organization
-High performance- so that it can take whatever you throw at it
-Easy installation and administration – so you can cut down on IT costs
Rapid fire business intelligence will give you back the control of your data. Tableau addresses many common problems with traditional business intelligence and gives you the control you need and deserve, while reducing costs and saving time.
