Why guess at the cause of your business results? Whether you are seeing positive or negative results, it is still important to understand the ‘why.’ Without this information, you cannot adapt and adjust to improve declining results, OR repeat and improve those great results you are experiencing.
Some small business owners believe they do not need, or cannot afford, business analytics. Nothing could be further from the truth! If your business is currently using Tally Prime or Tally ERP, you can leverage your existing accounting and financial modules to create an augmented analytical environment that is suitable for every team member.
Every consumer and business user loves the new world of search and query. Google-type searches offer the ability to ask a question in simple form, and receive an answer you can understand.

If you are considering a business intelligence or augmented analytics solution for your business users, or if you have already invested in these tools, you will want to focus on user adoption and, to meet the expectations of your executive team and IT staff, you must ensure return on investment (ROI) and a low total cost of ownership (TCO). But user adoption is often difficult to achieve. Users are familiar with their existing tools and solutions and workflow, and humans are notoriously resistant to change!
The key to achieving your goals for user adoption, ROI and TCO is to pursue an embedded business intelligence (BI) strategy. If your team needs convincing, here are just a few statistics and results reported by organizations currently using the Embedded BI approach to analytics.
‘Integrating embedded analytics and BI tools within a familiar enterprise application allows users a single sign-on (SSO) experience, and puts analytical tools right at their fingertips, within their familiar applications.’
The undeniable fact is that your business users know their enterprise apps. They are familiar with the workflow and the features and the processes, and they know where to find information and how to use it within these familiar applications. They DO NOT want to use a silo application that requires them to move data around to get it into an analytical solution and then use that solution to analyze data and results, and they DEFNITELY DO NOT want to learn a complex new analytical system. So, user adoption will suffer, if you take that approach!
Integrating embedded analytics and BI tools within a familiar enterprise application allows users a single sign-on (SSO) experience, and puts analytical tools right at their fingertips, within their familiar applications. If the tools are easy-to-use, your business users do not need specialized skills to successfully analyze and use data, so they can quickly and easily make fact-based decisions, and support your enterprise goals and objectives.
Here are some real benefits you can reap from using embedded BI tools:
End User Organizations – Internal IT teams can easily integrate and embed BI objects within their ERP, CRM, Intranet portal or other applications, to improve user adoption and maximize Business Intelligence ROI.
ISV and OEM Partners – Leverage Embedded BI and Integration APIs to add powerful functionality and provide access to existing ERP, SCM, HRMS, CRM or any other products and to provide analytics capabilities within existing products without major Investment. Reduce time to market and stay ahead in the competition!

When an enterprise undertakes an Augmented Analytics project, it is typically doing so because it wishes to initiate data democratization, improve data literacy among its team members and create Citizen Data Scientists. The organization looks for a solution that is easy enough for its business users and intuitive enough to produce clear results; one that also provides sophisticated functionality and features and will produce a suitable Return on Investment (ROI) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
You may not be an analytics expert and you may find terms like PMML Integration somewhat daunting. But in reality, the concept is not complex, and the value is outstanding!
No matter the reason or the goal, when an enterprise chooses the right Augmented Analytics solution and carefully plans for and executes its implementation, it can optimize business results, reduce expenses and improve its market position, customer satisfaction and user adoption, and it is key to transforming business users to Citizen Data Scientists to improve results and team skills. Here, we examine the benefits of Augmented Analytics and how to plan and successfully execute an Augmented Analytics initiative.
Augmented Analytics was designed to remove the barriers erected by the traditional business intelligence and analytics solutions. In order to achieve data democratization and improve data literacy among team members within an enterprise, the organization must provide simple, easy-to-understand solutions that display analytical results in a way that is meaningful and intuitive.
