A BI self-sufficiency solution in the direct marketing industry
Case study for a BI self-sufficiency solution for a direct marketing company
Once businesses realise that they need to place data at the core of their operation, decision-making and optimisation efforts, they soon understand that a self-service BI platform is essential to their business. A self-service BI platform frees up data analysts to focus on more strategic work than reporting and allows business users to access the data they need. Traditional BI tools often fall short in the realisation of BI self-sufficiency.
By 2020, Gartner boldly predicts that self-service BI platforms will make up 80% of all enterprise reporting.
