BI Needs for Each Role - Clearly this needs a fairly detailed understanding of the BI needs for each role to be developed. And with this deep understanding, the right management information can be provided in the right way with the appropriate update frequency and in some ways I think given the limited real estate available for information to be displayed on mobile devices, this is actually more important for Mobile BI than it is for conventional desktop BI. With space at a premium, it's important that users only get the information that absolutely need to have. And drilldown also helps with that moving across to the final set of bars on the left of the chart there...

Business Needs for Information Access - New business intelligence, in contrast, focuses on those day-to-day operations of the company, and it is used by a wide array of line management personnel who are responsible for making decisions that drive the current business performance of their units.

It also has implications for how a business intelligence system presents and analyzes data...
Company Selects Automated Reporting - The need at Brenk Brothers for a user-friendly BI tool began with reports that were produced monthly for meetings with executive management. These relatively simple reports were produced by hand running SQL queries, then exporting the data into Excel for manual modifications and chart building, then converting them into PowerPoint presentations for better display. The problem with this process was that if anything was not quite right with the report, or if a new business question arose, they had to go all the way back to the drawing board, modifying the SQL query and restarting the process. Sometimes this would have to be repeated several times for a single report...
Creating a Blank Report Template - To create a blank report template with one of these report layouts, click on the 'New' button and select the appropriate layout model.

Examples of tabular reports are a stock performance report or an order form with distinct regions for customer details and order items...

So you know just there are a lot of cases for predictive analytics. I was presenting last week and one slide was completely...

But to automatically and proactively infer the reasons for their satisfaction or dissatisfaction from their activity in their account, e.g. all of a sudden they start withdrawing money, or when they complain on Facebook, require a comprehensive BI application.

Rollout of a BI Solution - Another key factor that we have seen is a lot of these companies have executive level ownership for their BI projects, so the ability to have a senior level executive bless an analytical solution or analytical strategy is something that correlates with improved performance as well.

So when it comes to delivering these tools to more users in the organization, they have representation from a variety of different functions within the organization. So whether it's from sales or from marketing or from back-office function, they are more likely to have that representation so that they can deliver more meaningful tools...

What types of data do people access? - This is somewhat leading up to the types of information accessed, but it's SQL which gets to the structured data. A lot of the unstructured data is now in XML documents. So that was the second most important standard. And then there are other standards which have more to do with the information delivery: Java, HTML5 and Microsoft .Net. So you can see the types of information that people are bringing together. As for the unstructured information, you have information from content management systems. Then there is Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat type of documents. The next one is text documents which could be emails or any other type of information but those are really the primary unstructured sources of information...
