Wine and Shine: Be Agile with Mobile BI
Mobile BI is in constant demand today due to many reasons. Time-poor executives need to access key performance indicators at a glance during meetings, seminars and conferences. With the advent of smartphones and its enhanced features, it is possible for executives to be in touch to the online world constantly. Corporates are increasingly using smartphones, tablets and laptops and the latest devices are even capable of delivering rich Web content which guarantees the managers and decision makers to have extensive access to corporate data.
Not only managers, but sales personnel find mobile access and business analytics to be in constant contact with their group of customers and also assess the inventory or a projection chart with the help of mobile analytics. Field personnel especially need to have sound knowledge of their company’s customer-base for better sales results.
Employee productivity is one of the key reasons for delivering mobile BI. Infrequent accessibility to critical information actually inhibits a mobile worker’s productivity. Better information flow is one of the prime motivations for the use of BI in mobile devices. Analytics are delivered real-time and there is constant access to data. Service and field sales personnel are constantly on the run and mobile BI helps them to achieve their goals and objectives easily and efficiently.
SharePoint 2010 helps everyone access the business information required to make good decisions. With powerful features like business-specific interactive dashboards and scorecards along with the ability to make sense of Key Performance Indicators, people can use the data which can be found in databases, reports, and other sources to address specific needs.
In SharePoint 2010, the BI tools are Microsoft Excel, the PowerPivot Add-in for Excel, Excel Services, Visio Services, PerformancePoint Services, SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services), SSIS for Integration Services, and SSAS for Analytical services. SharePoint 2010's BI capabilities are easily more cohesive than those offered by other solutions.
INDUSA has scheduled a wine tasting event for those interested in how SharePoint 2010 can be leveraged for creating a robust Mobile BI environment.The audience will primarily consist of senior management and executives, sales managers and field service personnel.
The company is also conducting a session on the key factors which are driving the need for Mobile BI, and will focus on the overall benefits derived from embracing mobile BI in an agile environment.
The event will be held on the 23rd of February 2012 at the AON Center in Chicago from 6:00 AM onwards. Click here to register for the event.
