Business Intelligence with SQL Server Reporting Services
- Share to:
Business intelligence (BI) means different things to different people. For some, it means advanced analytics. For others, it is self-service report creation. A few see it as a prelude to Big Data. For many users, however, BI is much more accessible than any of these things. It is quite simply the regular production of clear and meaningful reports and dashboards that translate data into actionable information.
In my experience, all that a majority of business people ask for is up-to-date data that they can access when they want in a ready-to-use format. They do not always have the time or the skills to develop their own flashy output. Most end users have no desire to delve deeply into vast realms of data to track processes, sales, and targets. They want only to identify anomalies and react swiftly to changing business conditions.
So, despite all the hype, there is still a place for good old corporate business intelligence. This is the mixture of data, technology, and IT skills that creates and distributes “canned” reports in all shapes and sizes to a multitude of users across an organization. Despite being out of the spotlight (thanks to the glare of self-service BI), corporate business intelligence still solves the vast majority of enterprise reporting needs. It delivers reliable and trusted data to users who have only to select a few parameters to get the results they need.
