Like every other type of business application today, Business Intelligence solutions must be mobile in order to meet the demands of the user base. Every business must recognize the reality of the mobile society in which we live and, whether they want to attract consumers and customers or provide business applications that satisfy the needs of employees, mobile access is critical for every user and critical to business success. But, the democratization of business intelligence is a broader, systemic issue that goes far beyond mobility.
Whether inside or outside the office, every individual contributor, team member, manager, executive, IT professional, HR, sales, marketing, production coordinator, and financial analyst needs business intelligence. We can’t empower our team members or hold them accountable for results without giving them the tools and information they need to do their jobs and to know whether their efforts are succeeding and contributing to the strategic, operational and tactical goals and objectives of the company.
