Why does your company need Business Intelligence?

Welcome to Dataself. Dataself provides business intelligence based reporting to help your organization make more timely and more informed business decisions. So let's start at the beginning. Why does any organization need business intelligence based reporting when each of your apps, erp, CRM and so on each have their own reporting technology? To answer that question, the we need to look at how BI based reporting differs from the reporting that comes with one of your apps. So let's consider your ERP app. ERP reporting works like a microscope. It digs into the details of your daily operations, sales collections and the like. It focuses on operations and provides visibility into tasks and gets details from your raw ERP data. Typical ERP reports include sales listings, collections, due checks that need to be written and GL statements. However, just as ERP reports look inward, you need other reports that look outward and forward. And that's where BI based reporting, working like a telescope, is the answer. BI based reporting optimizes your data so it can identify key metrics and deliver a strategic view of your business. BI based reporting evaluates the performance of everything from sales to to P and L and cash flow. And BI reports are dynamic providing endless drill down capabilities. Typical BI reports include sales variances and client debt dashboards. They dig into profit and loss and forecast cash flow. In other words, ERP reporting shows you what your business is doing and BI based reporting shows you how your business is doing. You need both.
