Organisations with Existing Business Intelligence Solutions
While many orgainisations centralise business data in large data warehouses inorder to offer on-line reports, the need for mobility in the modern work force iscontiniously expanding. There is of course no direct contradiction between these twofacts as Internet and wireless connections are to be found almost everywhere.However, there are two downsides in such an architecture.
1) Pre-defined reports offered on-line inevitably have restrictions in terms ofwhich data is presented and how it is presented. Each end-user has on the other handown preferences that general on-line reports cannot always satisfy. In addition,modifications to existing reports or the creation of new ones may imply to gothrough lengthy ordering processes.
2) The speed of the analysis is as fast as the network connection. This can beparticularly annoying and contra-productive when working with reports either throughwireless connections or heavily loaded intranets.
Organisations without Business Intelligence Solutions and FreelanceConsultants
Many small and medium size organisations do not profit from the benefitsBusiness Intelligence has to offer, mainly because of the investment required bytraditional tools. The same is true for many freelance consultants whosepossibilities to offer Business Intelligence services to their customers, arereduced by the costs of the necessary tools. In addition, the trade-off between costand functionality can be too significant for a low-cost tool to be of any realhelp.
Consequently, Business Intelligence projects very often are not even consideredor are quickly abandoned. The possible solutions are either too costly or too poorin functionality to be of any interest.
