In the ongoing struggle to succeed in today's competitive and dynamic marketplace, the ability to access and analyze information has become more important than ever before. In order to improve business processes, measure success and make well-informed decisions, organizations need easy access to their information warehouses. Meeting this demand for information has proven to be a continual challenge.
Information analysis empowers workers to make use of the information critical to success.
However, the types of access and analysis required may vary greatly among different types of users. For example, senior executives, business analysts, IT professionals and others will not only access differing sets of data, but also analyze this information for different purposes. For this reason, businesses need an integrated product suite which can deliver the complete range of enterprise business performance management capabilities. A complete information analysis solution must do more than just provide data access. It must also enable users to analyze data in new and different ways, allowing them to anticipate business trends and evaluate hypotheses.
