We wanted to create a BI tool that was flexible enough to give you ultimate control over your BI experience.  This meant providing a personalized experience that allowed you to meet your most common and advanced use cases without having to rely on other tools for the job.  Dundas BI’s flexibility is present every step of the way with a rich set of options that allow you to get extra value out of the tool.  While Dundas BI offers smart default, out-of-the box functionality to help all users quickly work with their data, we wanted to show you some NEW and UNCONVENTIONAL yet SIMPLE ways that Dundas BI can analyze and present your data, and explain how this can help your business.  

Resources we love, that you may have missed

It is officially 2017 and we’ve been thinking a lot about our favorite blogs, webinars and other valuable resources from the past year.  This isn’t a comprehensive list, but here are some resources you may have missed or that we think are worth reading.

Business Intelligence.  You hear your boss utter those words and immediately your eyes are drawn to your notepad.  Scribbled hastily between two reports is a 5x5 box; Synergy, Content-Driven, Value-Added, Fault Tolerant… One more and you can shout BINGO. A sigh of relief escapes as you realize Business Intelligence isn’t more jargon or reference to some arcane business process, but rather a term that albeit confusing, is very important.  

It’s vital that sales teams are equipped with the right tools to properly analyze and interact with their data. A flexible business intelligence and data visualization solution, with tailored capabilities, will be able to help a sales team monitor performance, identify which sales techniques are working, and improve customer service, all while allowing them to discover new opportunities. By having a centralized dashboard that allows sales teams to analyze, view and interact with the right data the way they want to; they’ll see an increase in alignment and collaboration, which will ease the identification of complex problems, transfer of expertise, and recognition of growth opportunities. 

Business intelligence (BI), analytics, and data visualization software is becoming a key component of any organization looking to take more data-driven actions. The acquisition of a BI tool that allows for full control, visual exploration, preparation and transformation of data so that organizations can deliver it in the most actionable way is highly coveted. But companies aren’t just clamoring for a BI solution for internal purposes; they’re looking to differentiate their own applications with beautiful analytics to better serve their external customers. Whether it’s to enhance their client’s web portals with better reporting, integrate dashboards into their on-premises and SaaS offerings, or build an entirely new data application from scratch, they are asking for a BI and analytics solution to be embedded within their business applications.
