As an enterprise grows, it would be wise to consider the use of a flexible business intelligence solution that can provide integrated visualization, analysis and flexibility so that the company can continue to use Tally ERP and leverage data from the Tally solution as well as from other systems and solutions within the enterprise. Part I of this series of articles will address the issues a small to medium sized (SME) business faces as its reporting requirements become more complex and the need for flexibility increases.
As a business grows, the need for flexible, customized reporting grows as well. There is no telling what a user, manager, or team leader might need on any given day to identify problems and solutions or to share data and plan for the future, or recognize and capitalize on a market opportunity. The need for simple, personalized reporting is never ending but, if a business has to pay someone to customize reports, it will find this solution expensive and time-consuming! As the business grows, its employees need a flexible reporting environment to provide meaningful, actionable data at all levels within the enterprise.
A flexible business intelligence solution must allow users to slice and dice, and drill through and down, at the summary and detail level, and provide advanced analytical features. Solutions that offer integration with a classic reporting package can be helpful, but they do not allow for the flexibility a user needs to change reporting requirements from day-to-day or hour-to-hour. When a business integrates business intelligence with Tally, it can manage results, and clearly see, sort and analyze sales and pricing information, as well as inventory levels, payables, receivable, an overall snapshot of finance, sales, and inventory over dynamic periods and much more. Users can analyze division results, the root cause of sales decline, and the need for additional resources and training, and more!
