Driving in the Dark: Roadmap to Intelligent Analytics

A great business intelligence and analytics system provides an organization the most effective knowledge and critical insights in real-time, based on contextualized reasoning. A great business intelligence and analytics system is the only way to make immediate, smart, agile decisions in all aspects of your business.

It is impossible to drive in the dark without lights. Well, it isn’t impossible, but it is very dangerous at any kind of speed; the same with business decisions. Sure, you can make some good guesses if the company was just established and is starting slow, but any business that has revenue momentum will need the agility of accurate knowledge-based decisions to avoid a crash.

Well, that seems easy, simply turn on the lights by investing in some software tools to manage data related to operations. The company even goes so far as to include capabilities that monitor sales, logistics, or even employee productivity. However, without the best system to access data and process the information it is only turning on a hand lamp with a narrow, dim beam of light to sweep across the competitive landscape. That isn’t going to help your business make good decisions.

Performance. See where the business is going

The power of your business intelligence and analytics system is extremely important. A poor intelligent analytics system with only a little illumination is just as dangerous as driving in the dark without any light at all. What your business needs is the brightest spotlight available with data, metadata, content, and processes all contextually analyzed within an index clustering framework of consolidated information, and with that information compiled into an easily understood reportable format. You are literally driving performance and revenue with the benefits being:

  • Increased competitive advantage with enhanced competitive analysis
  • Key performance indicator (KPI) visualization and tracking
  • Improved customer experience and employee satisfaction
  • Best operational efficiency with increased collaborations
  • Identification of new revenue or product opportunities
  • Fast and accurate decision planning and data analysis
  • Reduced cost and time resources in decision making
  • Intuitive dashboards with trusted and governed data
  • Best business decisions internally and externally
  • Appropriate data driven business decisions

Consolidation. Putting the pieces together

Let’s talk a little bit more about poor illumination. The traditional approach to analytics used an extraction, transformation, load (ETL) system that combined data from unconsolidated content warehouses into a separate warehouse. This data was then organized based on the previous location of extracted data. This was acceptable before the Digital Transformation that is still occurring worldwide. With Digital Transformation huge amounts of data are now being stored across a myriad of systems in a plethora of formats. The organized data giving you the ability to see the road, or at least the road map, has a wide impact in all these common use cases;

  • Sales Relationships and Marketing
  • Consumption Pattern Awareness
  • Management Performance
  • Inventory Management
  • Customer Experience
  • Processes efficiency
  • Financial analysis
  • Operations
  • Research
  • Logistics
  • And many more…

Reporting. Visualize large volumes of complex data

Tightly integrated real-time reporting with search indexing support is an essential element to reporting. This ensures fast and accurate reporting with valuable insights and competitive analysis. Streaming analytics gives your organization the ability to report correlated data and detect patterns in real-time with automatic conditional triggered responses. Any enterprise business intelligence and analytics system should be viewed as a project that requires significant resources to implement. To successfully implement and scale your intelligence and analytics system there must be a comprehensive strategy with resources allocated in consideration of;

  • Report lifespan and usage
  • Desired analysis type
  • Data complexity
  • Production type
  • Interaction type
  • Report latency
  • Data latency
  • Decision type
  • Data source
  • User type
