If you are thinking that business analytics is too complex for you (or your business users), you may want to take a step back and look at the exciting evolution of business analytics tools. Today’s business intelligence solutions and business analytics software offer easy-to-use tools and features that are suitable for business users at every skill level.
Let’s cut to the chase! Results are everything and when you think of a task like preparing data for analytics, that task does not seem to have a direct connection to results. Or does it? Renowned technology research and analysis organization, Gartner, predicts that data and analytics organizations that provide agile, curated internal and external datasets for a range of content authors will realize twice the business benefits as those that do not.
If you are contemplating a business intelligence tool for the first time, or if you are unhappy with your current BI tool and you want to find a better solution, you need to focus on the experience, skill and self-serve capabilities of the business intelligence company. Every business that is using a business intelligence initiative to improve data accuracy and decision-making is following the trend of data democratization and improved data literacy and choosing BI tools that are designed to be self-serve so business users can leverage features and functionality to make better decisions, to plan, forecast and measure results with more accuracy and dependability.

India is not exempt from the Corona Virus (COVID-19) and, as with every other country around the world, the prospect of infection and spread throughout the cities of India is a daunting idea. Facts, scientific and medical advice and information is what will get us through. In order to support the citizens of India with timely, accurate information and mitigate the risk of panic and the spread of misinformation.
So, you want to use a business intelligence solution but you don’t want to have to customize, spend a lot of money and end up with a solution that is restrictive and does not meet your needs? I don’t blame you.
If your has selected a software product and your users have embraced that product, you do not want to rock the boat! You want to be able to continue using that useful solution. But, you may also need to add features or functionality to improve accurate reporting, to increase productivity and data sharing, to solve problems and identify opportunities or all of the above. So, what do you do?
When you are considering an augmented analytics solution, you will want to look at the capabilities for self-serve data preparation (SSDP). This functionality allows business users to gather and prepare data for analytics without the help of data scientists, IT or data analysts.
If your business understands the value of self-serve data preparation and augmented analytics, but your IT team or senior management is concerned about data governance and data security, you need not worry. You can use self-serve data prep tools and self-serve data ETL for data extraction, transformation and loading and still ensure appropriate data governance.
