Data is abundant. And so are the applications used to run your business. While standard reports and inquiries can support some of your reporting needs, usually they fall short in fulfilling more advanced needs and ad-hoc, intuitive analysis of the business.

Information stored across disparate databases can be one challenge when it comes to getting the information you need. In addition, your business have many facets, dimensions and variables that are not represented in the standard views available. Ever want to see an intermediate level of summary, but all that is available are the details or highest level? And then to get related information, you have to run a different report and manually match them up?

To address these challenges, we find that many businesses have a significant hidden cost associated with reporting and analysis. Whether its programming additonal views, building data warehouses or extracting and manipulating data in offline tools such as excel, the time and cost of getting the information in a usable format can exceed the time spent performing the analysis. Does that seem to be a valuable use of resources?.
