Got Excess Data From ERP? Use It With Business Intelligence
If you are like most businesses, you’ve probably got more data than you know what to do with. And getting at the data, then presenting it in a way that can be useful, while giving it good analysis can be a challenge for most businesses. So many businesses have ERP systems, CRM systems and supply chain applications that are producing data that we don’t have the resources to explore. In this atmosphere of cutting costs we are risking missing out on the biggest opportunity yet- unlocking the value of this data through business intelligence.
Software Innovation Is Here
Business intelligence provides a great opportunity to provide better decision support with integrated enterprise data, and there is quite a synergistic relationship between ERP and BI, according to the Aberdeen Group. While there can be some questions over the need for “more” software, companies have been facing challenges when it comes to their non-integrated enterprise systems, and there have been calls for more useable software innovation – Business intelligence answers this call and allows integration of other data warehouses.
Rapid-Fire Business Intelligence Is On The Cards
Surveys have shown that 40% of senior executives still trust their gut for decision making, rather than using Business intelligence systems , as traditional business intelligence is just not providing what they need. Rapid-fire business intelligence meets the needs of executives and works so well in synergy with ERP systems. Business intelligence is also the number one technology that businesses feel will have the most impact in years to come – this comes from it’s ability to drive far more value from ERP and CRM applications.
So it seems now is the time to use Business intelligence to drive value from your accumulated data and make real changes at your organization. Tableau Business Analytics provides business intelligence that is simple to integrate, easy to learn, and will integrate with data warehouses from ERP and CRM systems.
