Making decisions, based on thorough analysis of your strengths (and weaknesses) is one of the key aspects for being successful. In times of almost every second counting, you are more often and more prompt in need of reports that provide you with relevant and reliable real-time information about your organization. How can you improve and speed up your decision-making process? How can you find your way faster through your data maze? The key lies in making it simpler with Self-Service BI and discover unknown insights into your business.<\/p>

The constant need of (Big) Data analyses<\/h2>

In these times of economic pressure, more complex business processes, constant changing environments and explosively-growing volumes of available data (Big Data), there is an ever-increasing need for correct, timely and up-to-date information. These (constant) changing circumstances, influenced by both internal and external factors, require a new understanding. For this, organizations need a constant flow of relevant information to improve their decision-making process.<\/p>

Many organizations have already relied for many years on Business Intelligence software, such as SAP Business Warehouse and SAP Business Objects, to have a constant flow of reliable and relevant organizational information. These tools transform all existing data into meaningful and useful reports, providing users with better insights for making the best decisions. The trending topic in the world of Business Intelligence Applications is Self-Service Business Intelligence (SSBI). In this article, I will explain this evolution and have a look at how you will benefit from Self-Service BI, but also at the challenges that SSBI brings to your company.<\/p>

What is Self-Service BI?<\/h2>

SSBI applications are meant for Business users who want more, agile and accessible analysis possibilities at their disposal at the time when they need it.
