Converting raw business information into useful pieces of information, poses an on-going challenge for most businesses. In many of the cases, this information is scattered and disorganised all over the company or stays in employees’ heads! This makes businesses rely on manually gathering data from different systems, reports, and people. Even if businesses have integrated applications that collect information from different parts of the business, only a few have the right tools to convert that data into a meaningful format that is useful and meaningful to a business user.
Organisations have long recognised the value of a streamlined data architecture, where multiple streams of data from disparate operational sources are collected and filtered for reporting and analysis. In an effort to get a single view of the overall business performance across multiple functional areas, businesses today are turning more and more toward business intelligence and data integration solutions. When using the right framework with the right data integration techniques and tools, businesses can have faster, more extensive reporting with a richer set of business analytics and improved data quality. For SAP customers, Business Intelligence in SAP Business One offers an efficient path to obtain this corporate vision of having one single version of the truth.
