Overcoming BI Self-Service Obstacles During and After a Pandemic

Overview

Based on Dresner Advisory Services’ findings from their 2020 COVID-19 Impact Survey, 62% of businesses say self-service BI is essential in 2020. The results reflect respondents’ firm belief that data-driven decision-making is a must-have for their businesses to survive and eventually grow again.

The effective use of self-service BI relieves business analyst teams, allowing them to take on more complex tasks (pricing, product mix, and supply chain modeling), which are all essential for surviving in a turbulent economy.

However, as analytics tools become increasingly easy to use, without the right organizational changes and the right resources, self-service initiatives often overwhelm users.

In this guide, we discuss how self-service BI allows businesses to be more collaborative, to visualize, analyze, and communicate the fundamental data to their role.

We discuss self-service BI adoption obstacles and offer several insights on ways to overcome common adoption challenges.

"Writing reports are easy to use as well as very flexible to meet customers' needs."
Love the flexibility of creating reports from simple to very complicated. I have yet to find something that Wyn Enterprise hasn't been able to support. We also use Wyn Enterprise for a lot of our internal documents as well that are on a monthly scheduler to automatically execute.

"Great reporting platform and support team"
The reporting platform continues to evolve and keep up with changes in technology; the support team is solid and responds quickly, and the product team listens and responds to feedback and product needs. Our software solution requires a flexible reporting platform that allows users to run canned reports and build their own and this is a pretty good fit.
