Considerations when

choosing a BI solution

5. Self Serve

Will the BI solution allow your business

to create:

• Dynamic Dashboards

• Self Serve reports

• Mobile applications that enable

users to access live data and

instant analysis for complete

business visibility on the go.

4. Ability to consolidate data

Can the solution consolidate relevant

data from multiple sources into a

single application?

Having data over multiple systems can

result in:

• Extra processes that are time

consuming, costly and not

customer focused

• Gaps in information

• Difficulty to automate processes.

3. Training

Consider the amount of training and

technical competency required to

become self sufficient.

• Review the level of complexity

involved with implementing the

solution

• Review the level of training and

competency required to use it.

2. Ability to change

BI projects must be seen as a journey,

not a destination.

The solution needs to be able to adapt

and evolve inline with your long term

business requirements.

Without the flexibility to change,

your BI solution will quickly become

out-of-date and your users will stop

using it.

1. Delivery Time

Can the solution deliver quick

incremental results to help you

achieve:

• The planned objectives and

benefits of the project

• Increased user adoption by

delivering value quickly

• ROI targets.
