Intelligent Reporting & Advanced Analytics

Why do corporations struggle for actionable analytics?

A recent benchmarking project by Ventana Research reveals that Operational data is not providing information in actionable formats required for CFOs & Finance Departments for making decisions.

The same research also shows that companies struggle to accomplish the basic goal of information management - that is, to standardize Operational information in a consistent and reliable form. Only 27 percent of the participants said doing that requires minimal effort or is not a problem. All the rest (73 percent) reported they find it difficult or impractical.

The top priority for participants was to support a BI initiative in the operational and customer service sectors.

The reasons for not getting a 100 % ROI on BI initiatives

� Implementing custom BI solutions from the ground-up turns out to

be more ambitious than bargained for

� Management and Analysts have inadequate knowledge of the

features and limitations of newly acquired BI tools

� Users are unable to integrate data from disparate and far-flung data

sources from both within and outside the organization

� Simple reports with static and tabular views of operational data do

not provide the visualizations the users need

� It takes users too long to develop complex reports and dashboards

� Reports are not suitable for management or executives

� Presentation quality, dashboards, etc are needed but not

delivered

� Accessing and analyzing non-Lawson data is difficult

� Challenges with distribution of information across the organization

and outside the enterprise with security

� Expert database schema knowledge is required for even the most

basic reporting

� Users face problems with passing parameter to/from the Lawson

environment

� Stretched IT resources are required for creating any report or

dashboard that is even marginally complex

� Operational changes in business puts a tremendous burden on

adapting deployed reports and dashboards to remain functional

� Difficult to adapt BI tools for compliance and taxation related

analytics
