BI Customized for the Google Generation - Absolutely. And this is something that we are seeing constantly. It's not just about a new generation of people coming in with different expectations. That’s definitely a factor, but it's the fact that we are now constrained, there is less resources, people need to move faster, and the old ways just aren't keeping up. And it has to change. But there is another aspect that I think is actually kind of interesting, which I don’t think is actually said very often, which comes up when you think about what you do with Google...

Biostatisticians' Use of Business Intelligence Software - A biostatistician can utilize business intelligence software in several ways to enhance their work in the field of biostatistics. Here are some common ways in which a biostatistician can leverage BI software: Data integration and management: BI software enables biostatisticians to integrate and manage large volumes of complex data from various sources. This includes collecting, cleaning, and organizing data to create a unified and structured dataset for analysis. BI tools often provide features for data cleansing, transformation, and data modeling, which are crucial for biostatistical analysis. Data visualization: BI software offers powerful visualization capabilities that allow biostatisticians to explore and present data effectively. They can create interactive and dynamic visualizations, such as charts, graphs, and dashboards, to convey complex statistical findings in a more intuitive and understandable manner. Visual representations help identify trends, patterns, and outliers, enabling better insights and decision-making. Reporting and presentation: Biostatisticians often need to communicate their findings to various stakeholders, including researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. BI software provides tools for generating comprehensive reports and presentations with automated updates. This streamlines the reporting process and facilitates the dissemination of statistical results in a clear and compelling manner...

Bring Business Intelligence With You - The new ability of sales managers and other involved in partner management or supply chain management to bring business intelligence with them means that they no longer need to download reports in advance or refer to out-of-date data. This results in more opportunities in performance and business relationships. Even though some kind of information access may have existed in the form of Blackberrys and other such mobile devices, the amount of interaction and the scale of functionality is new and is groundbreaking. In fact, if we look at a variety of research that has been done on this topic, we see that they all show the same trends. One survey of 277 companies with business intelligence systems showed that employee usage of these systems doubled once they started using mobile BI. So we see that in the future mobile business intelligence systems will allow us to be in the places where we haven't been to before. In the future with mobile business intelligence, there’ll never be an excuse not to know something. That’s the direction we’re going in. Information will literally follow the business user...
Business Activity Monitoring Meets Business Intelligence - InetSoft's unique data mashup capabilities bridge the gap between traditional BI and BAM software by enabling users to simultaneously compare data from warehouses with real-time transactional processes. In today's increasingly complex business environment, monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) allows executives and operational managers to place a value on activities that are normally difficult to measure, but that nonetheless allow an organization to track its progress toward a goal. While KPIs vary widely according to the size, strategy, nature and niche of an organization, they are always derived from two types of data: real-time (short-term) and historical (long-term). Naturally, having the ability to accurately monitor both dimensions of KPIs simultaneously seems ideal. Afterall, the ability to make day-to-day, short-term changes may bear great affect on long term gains. Conversely, the ability to examine long-term, historical data can lead to improvements in day-to-day operations....
Business Activity Monitoring Software - Organizations today lack reliable end-to-end information regarding their business operations. A business can have a vast amount of data but this data is of little value if intelligent data cannot be extracted.

With InetSoft’s Business Activity Monitoring Software, monitoring any company’s data is easy, safe and reliable...
Business Case For Geographic Business Intelligence Project - It is important to not underestimate that you need to step back and make some basic points. Even in a large enterprise, it may well be the case that the CEO is not familiar with GIS and what it can offer. And the mistake sometimes people make is to go into too detailed an explanation of what the technology can offer. From a senior executive’s point of view, they might not discriminate between geographic business intelligence and a spreadsheet of zip codes, and that would be because the benefits have never been articulated to them. There are three main messages to take to this audience. The first is the added value of geographic information. This is simply making the point that there are things that you can only do with a geographic approach that can’t be done with traditional reporting or spreadsheets. List examples that you have in mind for your project. The second message has to do with the concept of business data visualization. Once a chief executive or a CFO sees information that they have not seen before, such as the financial performance of their operations laid out across a map, the level of interest goes through a step change. Mock up an example, preferably using an evaluation version of the software, like we offer...

Business Intelligence Agility Helps Enterprises - Business intelligence agility helps enterprises who need to move quickly and adapt to changing markets and also be the first to market with new products and services. Intelligence throughout the organization, organizations want to be intelligent enterprises to put the name in the magazine they use to write. You want to use information be predictive and proactive rather than reactive. Get ahead of events, and a lot of this is about getting the ability to access and analyze information out to users who really have not had that, in lines of business and in front line, in geographically distributed divisions in organizations. So learning from the data continuously improve decisions and process and then effectiveness as we’re get into really business optimization, improving supply, looking for ways to reduce cost, improve productivity, get performance management going in organizations.

Business Intelligence Analysts Interviewing Subject Matter Experts - Business modeling is what I am talking about with that business value chain and deconstruction. Here is an example of what that might look like. So we have our Business Intelligence or Business Analyst, a BI or BA. They are interviewing subject matter experts, the business users, the business sponsors, and they are trying to get the requirements in the form of a question or a goal statement as opposed to a paragraph or something or data model. We’re just simply trying to get the business to articulate what they are trying to do. So if we look at an example, and this is an actual example. I have hidden some of the terms, but this was a BI application for cross selling across two business units. One had acquired the other, and they were looking at lost opportunities between the two business units in terms of common customers. So the business question was how many deals did we lose, and that was defined as close lost status. What was the contract value of those deals by time, by business unit, by customer type, that were joint customers by our business segment? Look at them by customer name and by product category and by industry, and as you can see that was the articulation of the need. That story got created in the business values...

Business Intelligence Best Practices - A discussion of how to improve operational and business performance by incorporating three fundamentals beyond the typical reporting and analytical tools. These fundamentals — collaboration, exploration, and integration —allow companies to employ best practices in operational BI. Traditional collaboration, achieved through a mixture of business intelligence reports, desktop application files, e-mails, and other means, is the equivalent of collaborative document editing. The limitations of this approach become apparent as the number of parties involved grows. Moreover, collaborating parties cannot easily build upon each other’s work. Wikipedia is a perfect example, where collaboration is the foundation, instead of the consequence—domain experts participate by building upon existing work in a uniform and open editing environment. InetSoft’s operational BI solutions are designed with the same concept, where domain experts bring their knowledge of a business area and the associated “Data Blocks,” reports, and visualization. These objects are not only intelligence themselves, but also the building blocks for future intelligence needs. The uniform infrastructure exposes the needed data and intelligence while leaving the details to the respective domain experts. This approach drives direct productivity gains throughout the organization and minimizes both the initial IT investment and ongoing maintenance. It also leverages existing investments in business intelligence for new uses...
