No matter your business industry or environment, there is no doubt that your team members have learned to use critical enterprise applications and perhaps even software and apps that are unique to their role or their division or department.

When a business introduces new software, most users are hesitant to embrace it – not necessarily because they are lazy or resistant, but because they are often overwhelmed with workload and perhaps because they perceive that the time spent to learn this new solution may not provide the value they need.

Business and Team Member Benefits of Citizen Data Scientists!

When a business considers the prospect of implementing business intelligence and augmented analytics tools to align objectives and streamline processes and decision-making, the business management and executive team can often see the project as time-consuming and expensive.

In fact, most proposals that include process changes, training and new technology get stalled because:

a. change is hard

b. there is a tendency to say that everything is just fine the way it is

c. the management team believes that the expense is not equal to the value of the transition.

When it comes to BI tools and self-serve analytics, all of these claims can be disproven by results.

‘By providing business users with easy-to-use BI tools and augmented analytics features that produce results and allow them to make the most of their knowledge and time, the organization is more likely to retain its human resource assets and to identify and utilize its team member skills to achieve results, thereby creating a competitive advantage and a more agile, streamlined enterprise.’

In fact, Gartner has predicted that ‘Early adopters of augmented analytics have the potential to realize more strategic and differentiating business benefits from their analytics investments than those who wait until these technologies are widely adopted.’

Results and benefits are proven across the enterprise by businesses that have already adopted business intelligence and augmented analytics.

Mobile BI is Not Just Nice to Have – It’s Crucial!

Improve Results, Precision and User Adoption with Mobile BI

Two things are true today. The first is that we are a mobile society, tied to our devices, carrying them with us everywhere to stay connected, to get information and to communicate. The second true thing is that we are busier than ever and, if we are to keep up, we must find ways to be more productive. The advent of technology and the rapid pace of change has created a situation where there is always more to do than we have time to do!

When it comes to business, both of these true things are even truer! If we are a business owner or manager we know that we never have enough resources or staff and that the invaluable knowledge of our employees and professionals must be leveraged and optimized if we are to succeed. We also know that most companies today have team and staff members who are not working within the walls of a manufacturing plant or an office. Even in a retail business, our team members are often working after hours or they are on the road visiting suppliers or buyers.

That’s where mobile business intelligence (BI) comes in! Every business needs analytics and data to understand where the business is today, where it is going and what we need to do to keep the business moving on the path to success. But, information is everywhere and it can be difficult to gather it and make sense of it and use it to make decisions.

‘A mobile business intelligence (BI) app should not short change your users with restrictive formats or views.’

By integrating enterprise data and making it available in an easy-to-use mobile interface, you can allow every user in the enterprise to use data in a way that is meaningful to them and to their tasks and decisions and if that analytical solution is available on a mobile device, we enable them to be productive in airports, hotels, at client or supplier offices and while working at home.

Mobile Business Intelligence (BI) Provides Critical Support for Business Growth and User Adoption

According to a recent study by Mordor Intelligence, the fastest growing mobile BI market is in the Asia Pacific region and the largest market is in the United States.

If you are interested in expanding your business intelligence solution to a mobile environment, or in acquiring BI tools for your team, the right Mobile BI solution will:

  • Provide a native application with a seamless user interface that supports a great user experience (Ux) for ALL users (even those with average technical skills)
  • Be available for iOS and Android
  • Be suitable for self-serve analytics to encourage user adoption
  • Be easy to deploy and use
  • Provide good support
  • Be affordable
  • Provide support for data democratization and improved data literacy
  • Provide suitable return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO)

A mobile business intelligence (BI) app should not short change your users with restrictive formats or views. Look for a solution with:

  • Clear, flexible data visualization
  • Dynamic charts and graphs
  • Supportive dashboards and clear reports
  • Clickless analytics that are easy to use
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) analytics that are intuitive and easy

‘By integrating enterprise data and making it available in an easy-to-use mobile interface, we allow every user in the enterprise to use data in a way that is meaningful to them and to their tasks and decisions.’

If you want to support your business user team and provide a foundation for BI tools that will better serve your team and your customers, explore Smarten Mobile BI benefits and features, with powerful functionality and access for your business users including out-of-the-box Mobile BI and advanced analytics for every team member. For more information on Mobile BI and Augmented Analytics, read our article, ‘Mobile BI Business Use Provides Real Advantages,’ and take a moment to watch and listen to this informative webinar, ‘Smarten Mobile BI.’
