Self-Service Business Intelligence With Arvato Systems
The next step towards Digital Transformation
Self-Service BI - How to Successfully Introduce the Modern Approach
With Self-Service Business Intelligence (SSBI), employees from different departments can independently perform data analyses and create reports. This results in numerous advantages for your company - from cost reductions by relieving the IT department to a company-wide increase in efficiency. In contrast to the classic BI approach, in which the central control and management of the entire data volume fall to the IT department, the modern further development of the approach focuses on the business users in the individual departments.
The self-service BI approach initially suggests numerous advantages. However, professional preparation is essential for successful implementation. Find out more about the benefits and areas of application of SSBI below and learn how implementation with Arvato Systems can be successful.
The Advantages of SSBI at a Glance
Efficiency improvement
You can make business decisions faster with SSBI because employees can access data and create reports independently of the IT department. This increases efficiency and shortens time to market.
Cost reduction
Because employees can access and analyze data on their own, you need fewer IT staff to manage data access and processing.
Increased decision quality
The availability of real-time data enables employees to identify trends and make decisions based on data rather than relying on estimates.
Increased transparency
SSBI requires a standardized and consistent database - so that employees from different departments can work effectively with the data. This leads to greater transparency and compliance. In highly regulated industries such as healthcare, this is a decisive advantage.
Improved collaboration
Employees from different departments work together with data and analyses - this promotes interaction and leads to considered decisions.
