No Smart Decision-Making Without Business Intelligence
Analysing existing data is a key factor for the successful strategic orientation of companies. However, companies often face the following problems:
- Data is stored in the respective departments, so cross-team access is difficult
- Reporting requires a lot of manual effort and is often done on an Excel basis
- Sharing reports within the company is very cumbersome
- Some departments build their own data sets, which leads to different values for one and the same KPI (e.g. sales figures from Google Analytics vs shop system vs ERP)
- Data is usually analysed in the source systems, which means that there is no reference to data from other systems
- Departments do not always have the technical know-how to analyse data properly
Modern BI systems can help!
What Modern Business Intelligence Systems Are Capable Of
Today, the advantages offered by BI systems go far beyond the mere consolidation, analysis and visualisation of data. New features are constantly being developed, enabling companies to make well-founded decisions even faster, for example:
- Real-Time Analysis: Thanks to the seamless connection of your source systems, you always have access to the latest data
- Usability: An intuitive user interface even enables employees without any technical know-how to access data and create reports on their own
- Integrated Data: Data from different sources is brought together and can thus be viewed in an integrated way
- NLP & NLG: Natural language processing and generation enable voice-controlled data queries as well as voice-based data output
- Integrated Analytics Features: BI tools already have some built-in analytics features that are easy to use
- Automation of Processes & Reporting: Thanks to the automated provision of data, manual effort can be minimised
- User-Friendly Visualisations: Complex issues or large amounts of data are presented in an easy to digest manner
- Ad-Hoc Meetings: Interactive discussions based on your real data are also possible without ready-made presentations
- Data Democratisation: Employees from various departments and hierarchical levels can access data on their own and use it for reporting purposes
- Forecasting: Modern BI tools are capable of modelling future developments
