What is business intelligence?
Business Intelligence means using your data assets to make better business decisions. It's about access, analysis, and uncovering new opportunities.
Being able to consolidate and analyze large quantities of data in day-to-day operations for better business decisions can often lead to competitive advantage. For example, a nationwide retail clothing chain can tailor store inventories to suit local tastes, an auto insurance company can market to drivers that meet a certain profile, a pharmaceutical company can look for patterns in patient responses to drugs, a bank can determine what services are needed to retain existing customers, and a sales manager can look for trouble spots in geographic territories.
Business Intelligence refers to the ability to make better business decisions through intelligent use of your data assets. It's about giving access to the right data, analyzing the data for insights, and using the insights to make better decisions.
Today, business intelligence solutions are not just for the chosen few -- the goal is for any appropriate individual to have access to decision enabling information anytime and anywhere. The ability to gain insights from your data is possible, if you have the right applications and tools to analyze data and more importantly, if the data is prepared in a format suitable for analysis.
What comprises a Business Intelligence solution? Today's managers know that no matter what the core business, they are in the "information business". They must drive decisions that directly influence results. Businesses that effectively use information to manage and impact decision-making will have the greatest competitive advantage.
Quite simply, a Business Intelligence solution involves the gathering, managing, and analyzing of data -- and then transforming it into useful, actionable information. So it's gather, manage and analyze... transform it into information... and use it to run the organization. It's about creating an information-driven e-business.
One element of Business Intelligence solutions is the analytic application that provides in-depth analysis of business operations leading to better decision-making. The analytic application uses data prepared for analysis and stored in what is typically called a data warehouse or data mart.
Today's Enterprise Challenge
..
BUSINESS PROBLEM
 |
Senior Management is unable to identify key opportunites within their business. Constant pressure exist to increase revenue, decrease cost and increase profits. With that in mind, top management is constantly monitoring the P&L statement, the balance sheet, cash flow amd financial ratios in order to identify business opportunities.
|
|---|
IT BUSINESS PROBLEM
 |
End user requests of IT for access to corporate information are consuming IT resources. IT is looking to provide an environment so that end users can uncover business opportunities without their help. Integrating several different tools to solve this problem is too expensive and risky. |
|---|
Challenges
In organizations without a dedicated business intelligence system, information doesn't flow freely. In such an environment, users often rely on hard copy reports as the primary source for their analyses. Although reports can be useful when they're designed to support analysis (i.e., can print subtotals without the associated details), they are not very helpful when users must thumb through hundred of pages to find a few key figures.
When users utilize only a fraction of the data that appears on a report, they waste time, paper and valuable system resources. Lengthy report generation can also create logistical bottlenecks. Besides, report jobs can regularly degrade system's performance and users frequently complain about waiting for reports.
Business intelligence solution alleviates these problems by giving users direct, intuitive access to the data they require. This reduces the need to run and print voluminous reports. We, the technical team, view end users as customers and different customers have different needs. A store manager, for example, may only require an inventory tracking application to perform his or her tasks. Similarly, a well-written order entry application may satisfy the needs of a customer service manager. In contrast, upper level executives are less concerned with the day-to-day effectiveness of operational systems, requiring instead applications that support ad hoc analyses.”
WHY DATA WAREHOUSING?
One person in the company had a vision - data warehousing as the solution to their reporting woes.
He convinced the upper management that data warehousing would enable them to make better decisions with up-to-date & easy-to- access information.
Benefits Reaped
Management discovers more about their business - product, department & branch performances.
During weekly meetings, upper management is better able to gauge the problems at hand and extract ideas from the different branches & managers on possible improvements.
More Benefits
Similarly, end users can quickly produce ad hoc reports from centralized OLAP data by slicing their way through cubes of multidimensional data created by IS. As a result, users can easily perform free-form data exploration and create business performance reports with no need to understand underlying database complexities.
IS has the flexibility to implement both "push" and "pull" methods to distribute reports and cubes for analysis. These can be "pushed" to users' desktops, or posted in a central location from which users can "pull" information when they need it.
As a result, both operational user community and upper management are satisfied.
The need for enhanced operational visibility and agility has emerged as a top corporate priority, driving the need for corporate IT departments to quickly and cost effectively deploy business intelligence (BI) solutions to users inside and outside the enterprise. Faced with reduced budgets, fewer people, and less time, IT needs a solution that meets this critical objective: one that leverages existing assets, ensures rapid implementation and ongoing adaptability, minimizes costs, and delivers value to more users.
Biztrak BPM Software meets the needs of both IT and business users by providing rich functionality and flexibility without the high costs, complexity and training requirements that have left traditional BI solutions on the shelf.
