Business Intelligence tools take your big data and make sense of it. Reporting and dashboards that help leaders make the right decisions can give organizations the upper hand as compared to their competition.
But as an end user, what do you actually stand to gain?
Time.
One of our clients, let’s call them Modbells, needed to get a little time back. In particular, they had one employee who spent four-five hours each and every Friday on manually pulling together reports for a meeting on Monday mornings. The reports were created from data that was housed in several different Excel sheets across their network. In years gone by, this wouldn’t sound like anything too out of the norm, but with the capabilities of Business Intelligence, it’s almost absurd. This employee had to dedicate at least half a day every week to something that a Business Intelligence tool could pull automatically every hour. Once the tool was implemented, Rodbell employee had 208-260 hours per year freed up to dedicate to other tasks.
If you had that much more time on your hands, what might be possible? Your efficiency would increase, that’s for sure. You could spend that time finishing other tasks or getting organized for the next week in a different way. You would also have much less stress about the reports because there’s no room for human error. As long as the report is set up correctly, your data will be correct.
