Drivers of Self-service BI - What are some more drivers of self-service BI? When it comes to business reporting requirements, most of the time business users spend a lot of time explaining what they need to do to the IT teams. After they get the report they spend more time realizing they needed to filter it a certain way, and have to go back and modify the request. The reason for this inefficient cycle is the wrong choice in information management technologies. It must have limitations in terms of the data structure in the data warehouse and in terms of the front end, limitations in formatting capabilities, due to the lack of availability of standard formatted reports and the difficulty of creating ad hoc reports. Business users are heavily dependent on IT in this traditional scenario. With all this difficulty in the daily access of information in the existing BI environment, business users have tended to avoid using the BI tools. The absence of self-service BI, therefore, results in business people make fewer decisions based on fact, or they miss key facts that could be found in the data. This, in turn, results in riskier business performance, if not poorer results in the bottom line...

Effective Use of Business Intelligence and Information Management Applications - We did see that in the employee size, that did have an impact on how much, how innovative organizations were with respect to the effective use of business intelligence and information management applications. And the logical explanation of that is that in a larger organization they probably have more need to deal with structured information and have more resources also to specialize and dedicate potentially to automating some of the processing of that unstructured information. There are four aspects of maturity. One is technology, so to the extent that an organization could be very mature at looking at unstructured information. They may have people trained in evaluating it. They may have processes in place that are repeatable and shared and documented throughout the organization but they might be doing a lot of it manually. So they would get a very high score on several of the categories but they wouldn’t get as high a score in the technology category and we look at all four of those things together to determine the overall maturity...

Embedded BI - Are you looking to enhance your existing software offering with customizable dashboards and reports? Many enterprise software providers, while being experts in their specific industry areas, do not have the time or expertise to include truly robust visual analytics in their applications.

Enterprise Business Intelligence - An analyst report on the convergence of production and operational reporting and enterprise business intelligence suites and the benefits they offer over "big" BI vendors. There are two significant trends in reporting technology and markets: convergence and emergence. Production reporting has converged with enterprise business intelligence suites to form a next-generation business intelligence software application. Concurrently, new "lightweight" BI and reporting software has been emerging. Years ago, robust enterprise (production and operational) reporting and enterprise business intelligence suites were technologically distinct. Robust reporting supported the need for complex, high-volume, precisely formatted operational reports run offline in scheduled batch mode for distribution to large audiences — push model. The reporting offered in the enterprise business intelligence suite was focused on simple online reporting, graphical presentations, ad hoc reporting and user interaction with the data and featured a metadata layer to simplify end-user querying and reporting — pull model...

Performance is obviously a big issue, especially with the big data needs out there nowadays. And we have our own proprietary technology that aims to deliver high performance. It’s called Data Grid Cache. It’s the technology that we use for pre-caching the data when you want to fine tune performance in a dashboard or report. By default the product works in live data access mode, but we also have this other capability for caching when performance enhancement is needed. Okay, let’s move on. This next slide is meant to give you an overview of our product offering. The flagship product of InetSoft’s is called Style Intelligence, and it's in all inclusive BI platform. In its foundation, you have got a strong data access engine and Data Block is one of the technologies that powers it. It's what lets you pick and choose different data fields from data sources and create complex queries and recombine data selections for reuse and sharing among the multiple and dashboard and reports...

Enterprise Intelligence Challenges - Add to all these enterprise intelligence challenges, financial services companies face, all the internal functions and requirements. These things that must be done must be done well to meet regulatory and stockholder demands and to serve customers well. As you can see, we have created a lot of data. And in some cases, this data is the same data from one system to the next, but it's described in a different way. And if you describe data in a different way, you have actually created a new data element and that compounds the problem and makes more complex the ability to use data effectively within the institution. So we are faced with this problem. It's pretty easy to see that the person at the bottom of the screen is a customer using an ATM machine. It's also somewhat easy to ascertain that the person in the middle of the screen is a branch employee helping customers within the branch setting. What's not so clear in the top is whether the two people working remotely are employees or customers. And of course, today, they could be either, and they could be located anywhere in the world...

Enterprise Mashup - A discussion of what an enterprise mashup is, why it is useful, how it is becoming popular, and what makes InetSoft's enterprise mashup capabilities unique. We have been called the first company to try this concept in the business intelligence market, or in the data management field, which was a little surprising to learn. That was recently at a business intelligence conference we participated in. To define enterprise mashup is not very hard. Mashup typically means you are combining a couple of things together that were not really designed to be used together. One of the most famous examples is the mashup of the Google map with something else. Somebody plotted city crime rates on a Google map. Those two things, before had no connection at all, but someone just put it together. An enterprise mashup is when two or more data sources are combined that were not originally modeled in an enterprise BI system or information management system. So our mashup is pretty much the same concept here, only we enable maximum self-service, meaning the average business end user can do a mashup with a simple drag and drop interface...
