Traditional Approach vs. Modern, Smart Approach
For years now, data analysis has been trusted to the traditional approach that involves traditional BI systems, report writers and spreadsheets - today's dynamic business environments demand a change in approach.
Traditional Approach
Traditional BI
Going for a BI solution is an intelligent decision; however, the more traditional BI route has its drawbacks and does not provide the business with the expected results within the desired timeframe and budget. It requires long implementation, customisation and training cycles and can remain inflexible to serve the ever-changing needs of business environments. These systems are complex, need special IT resources, and sometimes require combinations of multiple modules and products from different vendors. Moreover, the organisation sees results after months and years; hence, the risk involved for the decision is much higher.
Report writers
Report writers can be an initial low cost option but bring higher ongoing cost. They are in basic terms developer and programmer-oriented tools and are not intended for end users. Expensive consultants and IT or technical resources are needed to assist with new requirements popping up almost everyday, thus overburdening the IT department. The output reports produced are traditional, inflexible, non-interactive and tightly coupled with existing enterprise applications and data structures. In addition, there are no immediate results as management reports and ad hoc analysis are obtained after days and weeks of development, testing and deployment cycles, thus slowing down the decision-making process.
Report writers lag far behind BI solutions; they can only produce simple reports which are mere presentation of your data, not the intelligence, and lack interactivity. They are not capable of deriving intelligence out of your data and cannot contribute to strategic initiatives of Corporate Performance Management.
Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are the foundation upon which MIS and operational reports were built in the past. However, spreadsheets lack integrity, traceability, consistency; information security and can lead to non-compliance of security frameworks and standards, which erode business confidence in spreadsheet data and results. Apart from being cumbersome often there are data consolidation and versioning issues. It is not suitable for collaborative work environment as they lack publishing and collaborative sharing features and does not allow for automatic update of data. Moreover, it has limited analytic functions and beyond basics and necessitates support from IT consultants to develop reports and analysis.
The proverb 'Old is Gold' is certainly not true in the technology world. You need to change your approach from traditional to modern to experience fast and enhanced data analysis, reporting and presentation.
