Part 3 of our top 8 considerations for choosing a BI solution will answer why your solution should be easy and complementary. For businesses that run best when employees have immediate access to information, a BI solution that is easy to use anywhere, anytime is the best solution. Our CSS BI Solution offers a portal that allows users to log in, create, and run reports themselves from any device. Depending on your organizational needs, our solution can be used as our complete BI infrastructure or as a complement to your existing investments in hardware, software, email, and other applications. We're experts in helping organizations automate BI processes so that meaningful information can be delivered at the precise moment it's needed. Rather than wasting days worth of time and resources exporting BI reports, updating Business Intelligence databases, and executing manual BI processes, let CSS handle the BI grunt work.
A sophisticated BI solution doesn't have to be cumbersome or a headache to its end users. In fact, once a server with basic pre-requisites is in place, it should only require a few minutes to install and configure. And, multiserver deployments, a combination of database/client configurations, failover, and other setups, should be options -- not requirements.
From an end user standpoint, the BI solution's features and functions should be obvious and easily customizable to fit an individual's workflow. Remember, you want your executives and staff to embrace your business intelligence solution. With proper training, even the most non-technical users should be able to easily deploy, manage, and schedule reports. This empowers users and removes the barriers typically encountered with the roll out of a new solution.
