What has your database done for you lately?

How does an organisation turn heaps of transactional data from disparate sources into meaningful information quickly and without a high price tag? 

The answer does not lie within the realm of the ERP domain but through the introduction of Business Intelligence solutions.
 
A good Business Intelligence System (BIS) has the ability to access data in a common format from multiple sources, a way to measure goals and analyze cross-departmental data. The information provided by the BIS will help to indentify inefficiencies, and identify areas where cost can be reduced. Marketing will be able to analyse customer behaviour and make quick adjustments to marketing activities, to maximise revenue and keep the company competitive.
 
Traditionally Business Intelligence was used to predict the organizations future performance based on past data. The drawback of this type of analysis is that the present or real-time data is not usually being observed. Taking action using present data calls for Operational Business Intelligence.
 
Operational Business Intelligence allows professionals to have up to the minute information to use to make immediate decisions. Required changes can be quickly identified and appropriate actions taken timeously.
 
Is Business Intelligence worth the challenge?
 
In the end, simplifying and gathering data from multiple sources in an organization enables users to rely upon informational memory to help with the decision-making process and problem solving strategies.
 
BI Toolsets increase the agility of the organisation to produce meaningful information faster and with a lesser dependency on external consultants and technical resources in the long term. Furthermore the architecture of BI solutions delivers reports in a more user friendly and concise manner.

Companies who have invested on ERP / EPM solutions can now benefit by unlocking the potential of their information through the augmentation of a structured BI solution.
