Why types of questions will they be asking?
Which promotional tools are more effective?
Do you think discount offer made by the company adding any value to the sales?
Do you think promotion through social networking websites will be helpful?

How timely must the data they are accessing be?
Scheduled update : means that the information does not have to be up-to-the-
minute. The data source could be updated on a scheduled basis, such as once a
day or each hour.
On demand means that the user will require direct access to operational data or
information contained in a near real-time data warehouse.
Real-time data is only needed to support the monitoring of frontline
operational processes. True real time means that the information being
displayed is updated as a business event occurs – even before the related data
makes its way into a database.

Spreadsheet elimination Spreadsheet Reporting : Excel spreadsheets are used for reporting and
analysis in almost every corporation due to the powerful analysis capabilities
that Microsoft Excel provides. A majority of business users prefer to receive
their reports in Excel, a format they are familiar and comfortable with.
Unfortunately, however it has been proven that spreadsheet reporting can be
fraught with errors, a huge compliance problem when reports are required to
reflect accurate information required to make critical decisions within an
organization.

Ad hoc capabilities for business users
Ad Hoc Reporting allows end users to easily build their own reports and
modify existing ones with little to no training. Ad hoc reporting generates
reports that meet individual information requirements quickly and easily,
allowing end users to dynamically modify and drill through report data for
powerful information analysis. This type of flexibility frees up valuable IT
resources and gets information to end users immediately, empowering them to
interact with the data.
