One of the renowned group of companies with more than 60 companies in 8 different verticals engaged in various activities, such as “bidi” manufacturing, milk production and distribution, retail malls, and Ayurvedic healthcare products implemented ElegantJ BI to consolidate data across all group companies and have consolidated view of performance across the group.
There is a lot of noise in the BI marketplace regarding ‘Self-serve BI’. And that is good. As a result, every business understands the value of self-serve BI and data democratization and most businesses are actively working to provide that value to the organization and to the business users by empowering users to make swift, confident decisions.
I spend a lot of time explaining the idea of self-serve business intelligence and helping people understand that self-serve BI tools do not, by their nature, open the door to data chaos or data anarchy. IT pros, managers and business people often confuse self-serve access to business intelligence with poor security, privacy erosion and data control issues.
Elegant MicroWeb is pleased to announce the launch of version 4.2 of its ElegantJ BI business intelligence solution. ElegantJ BI offers easy-to-use, self-serve, browser-based tools that are suitable for every business user, manager, executive, IT professional and analyst. These tools are used by small, medium and large enterprises around the world.
Elegant MicroWeb designed and developed a M2M based Remote asset monitoring solution for a U.S. Software Product and Service business to simplify the process of configuring and monitoring devices like analog and digital modems and sensors from client locations and networks. Users can pay online and register for services, and then set up, configure and manage sensors and modems with self-serving M2M portal.
An SME enterprise should not discount the importance of Business Intelligence (BI). In today’s competitive business market, managers, executives and business users cannot afford to guess at results, issues, opportunities or planning and forecasting.
Whether internal or external, professional auditors have a profound responsibility to, and impact on, an organization. Auditing is required in every organization to ensure industry and governmental compliance and to assure management that policies and procedures are followed. While an auditor may be seen by some as a necessary evil, the truth is that auditors add value to every organization by providing objective metric and measurement using accepted methodologies, techniques and systems. Audits allow the enterprise to mitigate risk and govern the organization.
If your business is confused about the tools in the business intelligence market, you are not alone. There are lot of options in the market today, which is great for the enterprise and its users, but the confusion that this marketplace creates can be daunting when it comes to making a decision about which solution is right for your organization and your business users. If your business has a self-serve business intelligence initiative, the confusion can be even more discouraging. How do you choose a tool that will live up to the hype and your expectations?
