The Brave New World of Embedded BI and Embedded Analytics!

Embedded BI: The New Secret Weapon

Your business users probably have their favorite legacy systems, best-of-breed solutions, and business apps. When your IT and management team introduce a new software application, it can often be seen as a nuisance or, at best, a tool whose day-to-day workflow value is not offset by the task of learning how to navigate the software.

Embedded BI is gaining in popularity, simply because it adds so much value to the organization and, with proper planning, it will also add immeasurable value to your team members.

‘With Embedded BI, users can achieve clear insight into data and improve the quality of decisions, present data in a clear fashion and achieve faster, more reliable results.’

Based on a recent survey, 49% of companies have increased their utilization of business intelligence analytics compared to pre-pandemic levels. That is an impressive statistic but it does not reflect the probability of user adoption and, without user adoption, the BI tools will reap very low return on investment (ROI).

Embedded BI Improves User Adoption AND Enterprise Market Targeting

In order to achieve the maximum value, the enterprise must choose a business intelligence and augmented analytics tool that is easy for users to embrace – one that provides clear visualization and results so users can present data, share data and understand results In a way that is meaningful to their role. With the right embedded BI tools, the organization can embed analytics within its most popular enterprise apps so users can make data-driven decisions.

The Embedded BI approach lends itself well to many business functions, i.e., inventory demand planning, customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and many other functions. Industries like healthcare, research, financial services and others can leverage embedded BI to identify trends, patterns, issues and opportunities without the help of a programmer or IT specialist. The enterprise can embed analytics to improve the products and services they offer their customers. HR departments can identify demographics, workforce requirements, training needs, and more.

Business User Benefits

  • Users can see, gather and analyze data working within a single sign-on environment, eliminating the frustration of system silos and data migration.
  • Team members will be more productive, and the enterprise can improve workflow and make the users more efficient by saving time and eliminating redundancies and delays.

Improve Data Clarity and Business Outcomes with Anomaly Detection!

Select Augmented Analytics with Anomaly Monitoring and Alerts

Anomaly detection in data analytics is defined as the identification of rare items, events or observations which deviate significantly from the majority of the data and do not conform to a well-defined notion of normal behavior. Understanding anomalies in data can help a business by revealing trends, mapping targets and adapting to change with fact-based information that will help the enterprise and prescribe strategies to encourage agility and flexibility in the market and among competitors.

‘Using anomaly alerts and monitoring tools, business team members can quickly establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and personalized alerts and reports to monitor and measure results with powerful, clear, concise results that help users to understand and manage the variables that impact their targets and their results.’

A data anomaly is revealed when there is a dataset deviation or irregularity – something that is out of the bounds of expected patterns and behaviors. It is hard to overstate the criticality of anomaly detection. Without a comprehensive understanding of data, businesses can make risky decisions, misunderstand data integrity and depend heavily on information that is misleading, flawed or riddled with errors.

To accurately monitor and manage anomalies, the business must select an augmented analytics tool with comprehensive data visualization, data quality and anomaly monitoring tools, and the capacity to share and collaborate on information obtained through these tools.

Select interactive tools that allow a business user to gather information, establish metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs), identify crucial volatility and anomalies, and receive auto-suggestions and information to clearly identify the root cause of problems and target opportunities. These tools should include KPI monitoring, Auto Insights and Key Influencers.

Business Users Can Leverage Anomaly Monitoring and Alert Solutions to Understand Data

These tools allow business users with average technical skills to:

  • Identify a dataset
  • Define a KPI target
  • Define Influencers Using System Recommendations
  • Define Polarity and Frequency
  • Receive Alerts Via Email and In-Portal Notifications
  • Find the Root Cause of Issues to Solve Problems
  • Identify Opportunities to Improve Performance
  • Detect Anomalies, Increases, Decreases, Volatility and Trends
  • Discover Which Factors Caused Anomalies by Analyzing Key Influencers

Using these simple tools business team members can quickly establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and personalized alerts and reports to monitor and measure results with powerful, clear, concise results that help users to understand and manage the variables that impact their targets and their results.

‘It has been said that lack of data clarity can be ‘death by a thousand cuts.’ Without a clear picture of anomalies, outliers, and other factors that affect the quality and dependability of data, the enterprise cannot make an educated decision.’
