The impact of natural language processing (NLP) on the productivity and decision quality within an organization cannot be overstated. As simplified search analytics expands into all corners of the enterprise, the business can expect business users to embrace advanced analytics and, in so doing, to become more of an asset to the organization.
Advanced analytics benefits are too numerous to mention! What if your business users could leverage self-serve advanced analytics to see and use data in a way that made their jobs easier and made them more of an asset to the business?
Imagine that you know you have a problem in your business. Perhaps your sales are slipping in a particular region or your customers are no longer buying a particular product even though you have discounted and promoted the item.
Data analytics is not just for day-to-day business intelligence. These days, pretty much every business has some form of data analytics software. If your organization has embraced data democratization, you are probably encouraging business users to use BI analytics and, hopefully, your senior executives, middle managers and data scientists are using these BI analytics tools for strategic initiatives, as well.
I have a few pet peeves but every one of my team members knows ONE of these pet peeves all too well. I HATE spending time and resources on endless report customization and data sharing that never quite makes it to every team member. I hate it when everyone isn’t on the same page!

Studies show that people learn and make connections faster and better when they can see visual depictions of information. The saying, ‘A picture is worth a thousand words’ is true and understanding that concept is crucial to business success. Users and executives do not want to read through hundreds of pages of information. They do not want to waste time looking for that elusive answer in a twenty-page spreadsheet.
You don’t need scuba diving gear to get into deep dive analytics. What you need is BI analytics software, and visual analytics tools that are designed to meet the needs of every user. No organization can claim that every business user has the skill of a Data Scientist or an IT professional. But, no matter how ‘average’ the skills of your team are, you need to equip them with the right data analytics tools to allow them to leverage their professional knowledge and find the information they need to keep your business on track.
