[Cro] Zašto ulagati u Poslovnu inteligenciju?
Ukratko, poslovna inteligencija bavi se pružanjem pravih podataka i informacija pravim ljudima u pravo vrijeme. Na taj način oni su u stanju analizirati podatke koje proizvodi tvrtka, biti informirani oko svih potencijalnih poslovnih problema i donositi odluke potkrijepljene točnim informacijama o poslovanju. Kako je poslovna inteligencija podrška boljem poslovnom odlučivanju, često se naziva i sustavom za podršku poslovnom odlučivanju i izvještavanju. Sve organizacije imaju potrebu za...
Read MoreSecrets of good and valid report design
Creating a nice looking, but valid report in the sense that it communicate business information with elegance and accuracy is not always an easy task. The most important stuff is, of course, the data. It should be represented with the help of several visual design principles. They should present information to the readers in a manner that highlights what is most important. Every set of numbers has a message buried within, and it is task of report designer to present that message. But in this...
Read MoreShould you invest in BI and why?
In general, all organizations require Business Intelligence at some level. When we founded our company – Qualia – we have no ERP system and in the beginning we have no transactions. But very soon, I started to ask myself typical questions like “What is in my sales pipeline and what is the percent of success rate”, “What is the average invoice amount and what can I expect if trend continues?” and so on… The point is, even the smallest companies need some...
Read More[CRO] Informacijske Nadzorne Ploče: Dizajn
Znate li što su poslovne informacijske ploče, čemu služe i trebaju li i vama i vašem poslovanju? Ukoliko znate odgovore na sva tri pitanja, možda niste svjesni koje su najbolje prakse prilikom njihova dizajniranja. Na žalost, prema mojoj procjeni oko 90% ili više IT stručnjaka i proizvođača BI alata koji se bave tim područjem toga nisu svjesni. Da je tome tako, lako saznajemo ako u google tražilicu upišemo, primjerice, ‘Sales Dashboard’ i pogledamo slike koje su prvi...
Read More[CRO] Zašto je Excel opasan kao BI (izvještajni) alat?
Iako znam da će i sam naslov naići na otpor nekih ljudi, ovo su moji argumenti: Prije svega, sasvim je jasno da je Excel najpopularnija baza i najpopularniji BI alat (alat za poslovnu inteligenciju, odnosno izvještavanje i analizu). No, sama ta činjenica nikako ne znači i da je to i ispravno. Smatram da je vrlo važno razmotriti ograničenja i troškove koje donosi upotreba Excela za reporting u tvrtkama, osobito zbog onih tvrtki i pojedinaca koje upravo sada shvaćaju da ne mogu nastaviti...
Read MoreShare attractive reports with the World
From a few days ago, we developed a new feature in BusinessQ – “Publish”. We understand that people often want to share public business information with colleagues, business partners or maybe vendors or customers. People want to share anything, anywhere and anytime. This is our first step towards “collaborative BI”, BusinessQ reports can be shared with multiple consumers for collaborative decision-making. Instead of sharing documents and content using tools like...
Read MoreLinkedIn Data Visualization Challenge
On Visual Analytics Group on LinkedIn there is an interesting discussion going on: “Based on the popularity of the Brian Bedrick’s “Looking for a Better Way to Display This Graph” post I thought it would be interesting to post another small data set and see what people come up with. I’ve found what I think might be an interesting data set here: http://www.calvin.edu/~stob/data/television.csv” We took the data and make some graphical representations on basic...
Read MoreUse of Color in Business Intelligence
The point of business intelligence Many business intelligence tools available today are failing to deliver actual intelligence. IT has made a great technical progress in data integration, cleansing of transformation as well as in construction of big and efficient data warehouses. Nonetheless, we think that business intelligence industry has largely ingnored the fact that actual intelligence is within human beings. Therefore, raw information can only be valuable when it is understood and not...
Read MoreAbout BusinessQ Pricing
It was not an easy task to determine pricing for our new product – business intelligence reporting tool BusinessQ. We tried to be as much creative and fair as one can be. Similar BI software, almost all of them will charge customer per user. That means that licence for 100 users will be ten times the licence for 10 users. That licence is often further divided on report viewers, report creators, developers, administrators, etc… with different pricing for every...
Read MoreWhy do Business Intelligence projects fail?
There are a number of discussions on the net about why so many Business Intelligence (BI) projects fail. Some studies claim that it’s about 80% of unsuccessful projects. So, the right question is – what is the main reason (s) ? First, there is a “political” reason: If BI implementation is not adequatelly supported from the top of the company (C-level management), then most people will stick to old reports ( most often Excel) and old ways of doing things. That...
