Whether your business is a software company or a web agency, it is imperative that your products and services are competitive and cutting-edge. You want your customers to be happy and you have a comprehensive understanding of your market but you may need a software development partner to achieve your vision and keep up with the market and your customer expectations.
What exactly is social business intelligence? The concept of Social BI is really quite simple. Social BI is similar to social media and social networking, in that it embraces the tasks associated with data analytics and makes these tasks and the resulting data insight a social experience by providing tools and an environment that encourages business users and team members to share data, make fact-based decisions based on that data and learn from each other to help each user adopt and leverage analytics. Power users are the ‘influencers’ of social BI and they can influence data popularity, the types of reports and data sharing within the organization and the creative ways in which people use data.
If your business spends a lot of time and money on the task of extracting, transforming and loading data (ETL) and preparing that data for analysis, you might want to consider the advantages of self-serve data ET. Self-Service ETL can and should be easy enough for business users so that your business can enjoy the benefits of advanced analytics without hiring a team of data scientists or IT professionals.
Sometimes we are so focused on perfection that we do not see the benefit of agility. Consider the emergence of the brainstorming concept as an example. We learned quite some time ago that if used the brainstorming concept of freewheeling, non-judgmental discussion we could bounce ideas off one another and often come up with innovative ideas that would not have resulted from a discussion that was more restrictive.
We all understand the value and innovation inherent in natural language processing (NLP). Think about the ease of searching for the answer to a question on Google. Users with average skills can ask a question and get an answer, a list of search results that address their interests and support and assistance to take the next step.
When the technology market adopts a trend and industry and organization conferences and analysts embrace that evolution, it is difficult for a business to resist the trend. Digging in your heels and steadfastly ignoring what your competitors are doing can have serious consequences in business productivity, customer satisfaction and revenue.

I am always amazed at the number of people who look at software projects and implementation of solutions as a simple ‘pop it in place’ equation. Every organization has SOME software and an existing network with an array of hardware, network considerations, and local and enterprise-wide software tools that are popular or downright necessary for their users to access.
If your business is planning to implement self service business intelligence, you may be focused on cascading data analysis and fact-based decision-making throughout the enterprise and, hopefully, your focus includes improving the data literacy of your business users and team members.
If you have attended technology conferences or read industry publications, you have probably heard the term ‘Data Literacy’. If your enterprise is considering undertaking an initiative to encourage and nurture data literacy in your organization, you may be looking for a better understanding of the concept and the benefits.
