Business Intelligence Software

Bloomberg recently conducted a survey of 930 businesses across the globe to provide insight into the state of business analytics in organisations today.

Business analytics is still in the “emerging stage.” While analytics has gone main stream, most organisations still rely on traditional technology. Spreadsheets are the number-one tool used for business analytics.

Pretty much what I have seen in a lot of places…  refreshing to see a real survey without all the marketing hype. Business at the high end of the maturity scale are few indeed.

I've also noticed it is very common in SAP shops. The ERP system has a feature that allows a user to easily extract a report into a spreadsheet. It has become the de-facto method for a department to do analysis as to avoid the cost and time it takes to get it into/from BW.

In my case, management and customers see the value of quick and easy access to accurate data. However, they are unwilling to spend money and human resources. Spending time on manual reports seem to be less expensive for them.

A culture of using data for decision taking is very important.

Business Intelligence is an software which is designed to retrieve, to analyze the data for the business intelligence, it also capable to read the previous data and data warehouse and populates data in pre-built dashboards and reports, transforming information into knowledge. Recently I have tried the BI software from ROLTA it was very easy to manage with solutions and services for Data Warehousing and Application Integration.

I've been very impressed by Alteryx. It offers an approach to Analytics similar to SSIS' approach to ETL, but with much more end-user capability.

(no commercial relationship, just like the software)
