Top Reasons Why You Should Be Considering Advanced Analytics for Your Organization

Advanced analytics is being embraced at an increasing rate by organizations that need to gain actionable insight from their vast amounts of both structured and unstructured information. Although much of the technology that comprises advanced analytics has been around for decades, over the past several years, adoption has increased for a number of reasons.

Five Steps for Getting Your BI Dashboard and Self-Service to the Next Level

Dashboard and self-service excellence is essential to gaining full value from investment in business intelligence tools. Dashboards can play a critical role in increasing an organization’s information awareness and improving overall transparency, strategic alignment, accountability, collaboration, and data governance. However, after initial success in deploying their first dashboards, many organizations struggle with how to get them to the next level of maturity. They also face challenges in keeping growing numbers of dashboards well-managed and in sync, especially as users employ more self-service BI tools and seek to interact with dashboards on their mobile devices.

Operationalizing Big Data Analytics: Turn Isolated Analytic Insights into Repeatable BI Solutions That Benefit the Whole Enterprise

In one of the strongest trends today, many user organizations are moving deeper into advanced analytics with big data. That’s because conventional wisdom now tells us that there are leverage-able business insights to be discovered in big data. Many businesses are deploying teams and tools for big data analytics in silos that are disconnected partially or wholly from the rest of their enterprise. Organizations in this situation are not getting full business value from the new insights being discovered because they are rarely shared throughout the company.

Real-Time Business Insight from Big Data

For those of us in IT and especially BI, there’s nothing more exciting than seeing practices and technologies come together in a new combination, to support enterprise business in a new way. At the moment, we are seeing such a confluence of practices and technologies for real time, analytics, big data, and in-memory processing. The combination enables more organizations to credibly address time-sensitive business processes that involve big data and benefit from analytics.

Achieving Greater Agility with Business Intelligence and Analytics

Delivering value sooner and being adaptable to business change are two of the most important objectives today in developing and deploying business intelligence (BI) and analytics. Organizations are under pressure to adjust strategies and tactics to fast-changing markets and economic situations, and they are depending on BI and analytics to help them make good decisions. In addition, as more users are exposed to BI and analytics tools, the more they want in terms of functionality, data access, and other capabilities. IT organizations, used to long “waterfall” development cycles, are struggling to keep up, and are hearing loud and clear from users that they want an end to the frustration.
