If you work in business, you use technology and software. If you use software, you have most likely come up against a software ‘silo’; one of those frustrating tools that you love for what it can do and hate for how restricted it makes you feel.

Unlike the data discovery tools of old, business users do not need to look to the IT staff or data scientists to perform advanced data discovery.
If you work in the public sector or in a government enterprise, your business practices, standards and compliance requirements are very specific. Sometimes you must comply with standards set for a country, a function or security and legal regulatory guidelines. Working with IT partners and service providers can be challenging, if these service providers do not understand the requirements or the environment in which your team functions.
Today’s business enterprise does not want to settle. If you plan to implement or upgrade your business intelligence solution, you would understandably expect to be able to use the other solutions your business users depend upon.

Does your business intelligence solution provide true advanced analytics capabilities? Can your BI tool satisfy the needs of business users, data scientists and IT staff? That may seem like a tall order but with the right business intelligence software, you can provide predictive analytics for business users, including assisted predictive modeling that walks users through the analytical process and allows them to achieve the best results without a sophisticated knowledge of data analytical techniques.
