Is Your Business Intelligence Vendor Flexible and Agile?
What we mean when we ask that question is, when you are looking at your business intelligence provider, do you see a solution that is flexible enough to keep up with modern fast changing technology? The majority of CEO’s (76%) say that insight and intelligence are key components of their company’s success for the next 5 years (with people skills and getting close to the customer coming after), and 83% of CEO’s understand that leveraging business intelligence is the best way to implement those strategies.
Are your business intelligence projects failing?
So how can we leverage business intelligence in the most effective way possible? According to Gartner and their recent research, a lot of business intelligence projects fail or are perceived as doing so. So how do successful business intelligence projects work? We have noticed that the most successful business intelligence projects operate by using modern “agile” business intelligence, which has been proven to improve bottom line business metrics by as much as 60%.
Successful business intelligence projects tend to operate in a data-driven decision making manner, that is that they treat their companies like machines, scooping up information and funneling it to their chief decision makers- this has to happen as quickly as possible and so agile business intelligence is the ideal kind of solution to use.
Agile business intelligence must go mobile
The thing about “agile” business intelligence is that is has to evolve with technology- now that our employees are more mobile than ever, there are new kinds of data being pushed that aren’t being captured by the old system. Our employees exist outside the office and carry out mobile sales activities and need to make offsite decisions. Modern agile business intelligence needs to be able to cope with new kinds of data and new demands for data processing.
