If you are a business manager who wants to enable a Citizen Data Scientist environment, but you find yourself up against resistance, it is often because your business users believe that advanced analytics is just too hard for them to learn and that the use of these types of techniques and systems will slow them down and confuse their otherwise familiar processes.
Many businesses have embraced the Gartner prediction that transforms business users into Citizen Data Scientists to help organizations democratize analytics with simple tools that will improve the quality and timeliness of decisions. You can read white papers, industry articles and other publications that will support and articulate this approach to business flexibility, agility and success. But, if you do not embrace the culture change required to deploy this strategy across your enterprise, your Citizen Data Scientist initiative will not succeed.
Tally ERP business users are familiar with the tools and modules provided and use these tools daily for accounting, inventory control, purchasing and supplier management tasks and finance-related activities. Users perform data entry and reporting. But, what if your business users could take the information within this system and use it to spot trends, identify patterns, make recommendations and suggestions to the business units and add crucial value in managing every aspect of expenses, revenue and tax implications within the business environment?
As a corporate accounting professional or an enterprise financial professional, purchasing manager, inventory manager or any other team member working in a financial capacity in an organization, you can make a difference! You may think that your impact is limited to ensuring correct data entry, providing statutory reports and perhaps pointing out budget overruns or other day-to-day issues.
Why do your business team members need to be data literate? If your business is like most, it struggles to keep up with trends and to understand whether, when and how to implement enterprise-wide initiatives. You must convince your senior team and board of directors that these changes (which may be time-consuming and costly) are worth the effort. So, when a business manager says that her/his team needs to be more data literate, these same questions will arise.
The Tally ERP solution is popular for a lot of reasons. With its broad and deep features and functionality, it supports accounting, finance, purchasing, inventory and other financial tasks and activities. With so much meaningful information, a business can create a competitive edge by finding a way to gather and analyze all the information contained in the various modules to make decisions, identify issues and find opportunities and trends and patterns that will affect business success.
If you are an accounting or finance professional, chances are good you know Tally Solutions and TallyERP. This software application was designed to support your teams and to provide an environment for data entry and reporting and, as such, it is quite popular.

If your business has embraced the concept of Digital Transformation (Dx) and Data Literacy, it must plan for these initiatives in order to ensure that they are successful. The best way to achieve Dx and data literacy is to establish a technology environment that will support and encourage constant change and optimize resources and creativity – all in the service of supporting business goals and objectives.
Business competition is intense and markets are changing rapidly. What worked yesterday, does not work today and it is crucial for businesses to have an in-depth understanding of what is changing, how customer buying behavior is evolving, what new products and pricing plans are appropriate, where to invest for the future, what additional resources the business will need and when – in short, every detail of your business can positively or negatively impact your business and you need to understand current performance and future needs.
