EasyAsk

In today’s highly connected World Wide Web environment we’ve all grown accustomed to having information at our fingertips, just an internet search or mouse-click away. Shouldn’t your employees be able to access and analyze corporate business data, reports, and metrics just as easily?

As the quantity and type of business information grows within the enterprise, it is increasingly important to provide employees throughout the enterprise with quick and easy access to the right information. Self-service business intelligence is no longer a nice-to-have, but a requirement in today’s highly competitive corporate environment. The days of relying solely on traditional BI tools that are only accessed by a small group of power users such as corporate financial analysts and CFO are long over.

Bringing BI “to the masses” is very appealing to both non-technical users and power users. However, one of the biggest obstacles to a successful enterprise-wide BI deployment is end-user training. Cindi Howson, an analyst with BI Scorecard, states that “Many people associate BI with business analysts who rely on query tools and OLAP. Front-line workers would never have the time or need to learn these complex interfaces.”

Simply put, the BI application must be intuitively easy to use and most important, require little, if any, end-user training.
