Business Intelligence: Find Missing Insights in the Clouds

Does it feel like you have too much data? Your company produces plenty every day, but there never seems to be enough time to use it effectively. Reports take time to pull together, especially if the data has to come from multiple sources. Priority becomes an issue, and some opportunities are missed because you don’t have the resources you need to conduct thorough analyses. A business intelligence solution would be the answer, especially one designed for small and mid-sized businesses.

Many companies believe that business intelligence is the exclusive domain of larger organizations. Software and implementation costs, they feel, are too high, making the investment imprudent. Further, the attendant IT infrastructure costs and complexity exacerbate the challenge.

At the same time, not having access to business intelligence has costs: opportunity costs. Without the insights from data already resident in your organization, you aren’t equipped to make the best decisions for your company.

So, which do you choose: cost containment or an aggressive investment in growth? With SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand, you can choose both.
