Who all will benefit???

BI serve this audience by providing access to a richer set oftransaction data and by providing technological efficiencies thatallow them to spend less time pulling information and more timeanalyzing information.

Power Users/ Developers

BI will serve this audience by providing them a set of dashboard reportsthat they can individually access through an easy-to-use web self-servicereporting portal.

What all is missing???

Despite of all benefits, their software still lacks theability to categorise problems generated.

Filtering of Dirty Data is still a major area of

concern. Manual overriding at situations where computer

systems may impede rather than enhance BI efforts.
