More people within an organization are being given access to Business Intelligence (BI) as businesses realize the benefits of enterprise reporting and analytics beyond the boardroom. As a result, the scalability of a BI solution has never been more important.
But why is the scalability of a BI platform crucial – what are the benefits? Well, there are three interrelated answers:
- Constantly changing reporting needs: If there’s one predictable thing in business and life, it’s that they’re both unpredictable – As an organization expands and develops, its data sources and types will change too. A highly scalable BI solution enables an organization to respond with agility to its changing reporting needs.
- BI Return on Investment: Mass BI deployments empower more decision makers with actionable information and therefore delivers better BI Return on Investment.
- Competitive advantage: Pervasive BI deployments deliver critical business insights to decision makers from across the organization fast, allowing them to capitalize on emerging opportunities, and mitigate risk in reduced timeframes.
