6 Strategic Benefits of Business Intelligence

Why should your organization utilize business intelligence? As a Gold Data and Analytics partner with Microsoft, IronEdge has invested heavily in providing reports that matter to our clients. By collecting and parsing relevant data from our tools, we’ve built systems that allow our clients to see all of their technology assets in a single view. This enables them to make decisions about system refreshes and budgeting. The benefits of business intelligence are abundant and obvious, once implemented properly.

Business intelligence (BI) isn’t just limited to your technology assets. Executives make critical business decisions, with limited information, every day. BI can provide solutions for many business development, marketing and operational problems. Using business intelligence enables organizations to better collect, analyze and leverage a wide variety of data. Something that everyone can get on board with! In this post, we offer six strategic benefits of using business intelligence.

1.) FASTER REPORTING

2.) ADVANCED ANALYTICS

4.) REAL-TIME DECISION MAKING

Eliminate wasted inventory expenses and do more to improve your business. Poor data quality cost US businesses annually up to $600 billion.
