Overview:
Software for Business Intelligence (BI) provides the mechanism for people in organizations to examine historical trends, to measure results, to look for patterns in the data that might be missed in standardized reports and event to create alerts that fire when certain conditions are or aren't met. But the BI industry has one intractable problem it has yet to solve--how to actually get people to use it.


BI tools for the most part lack collaborative capabilities and they especially lack visualization. When you consider that even a simple dimensional model of a business area may contain a hundred attributes in ten or twelve dimensions with hierarchies, it is easy to see how an exhaustive catalogue of reports of every combination and rotation could easily exceed one million variations. This limitation of two-dimensional row and column reports, is lifted with the addition of not only visualization, but interactive visualization.


Today's organizations are complex webs of interacting groups and projects often created on-the-fly with demands for near-immediate results. Providing a systematic means for users to draw rapid, actionable insights and then share those insights is a constant challenge. This paper will show you how to navigate around the usual hurdles and deliver collaborative BI that works.
