Analytics are the underdog of a business structure. It might sound like a fancy buzzword, but data analytics helps you keep track of the health of your business. It provides insight into your collective data and helps you make better decisions. Analytics explains the “why?”, “how?”, and the “so what?” in your business.

We recently hosted a webinar titled “Power your business with amplified budgeting and reporting tools,” hosted by our analytics and business intelligence expert, Mario Schwarts, and Stephanie Gamber, vice president of solutions engineering at Solver.

In case you missed it, here are our top three takeaways:

  1. BI360 is a leading cloud Corporate Performance Management (CPM) software, rich in functionalities like reporting, budgeting, dashboards, and data warehousing. During the webinar, Mario and Stephanie discussed the importance of growing your business with added visibility, transparency, and efficiency in budgeting. Stephanie walked viewers through a demo of the platform, highlighting these core BI360 functionalities.
  2. Fully Azure ready (and on-premises), BI360 is easy to install, use, train, and integrate with multiple platforms. A true enterprise approach to business analytics is what today’s leading businesses are on the lookout for, and BI360 provides the solution. It enables your business to have world-class decision-making abilities based on trusted information. Leveraging the Microsoft platform, BI360 automates and simplifies budget and forecast processes while also improving KPIs. You might be wondering about the outcome of all this data integration—and yes, you will see better productivity across your organization, added company value, and recurring revenue growth.
  3. Another aspect, often overlooked in analytics, is a Corporate Performance Management (CPM) tool. Most companies do not have a CPM tool. An efficient CPM system works towards enhanced productivity by improving overall organizational performance to achieve business goals. In this webinar, viewers learned how BI360 enables your organization to beat the odds, master the game, and deliver a superior experience.

Whether you choose to deploy on-premise or in the cloud, you gain visibility into all aspects of your business—from forecasting and budgets, to reporting—using comments and automated email updates so that everyone can collaborate seamlessly and stay in the loop. You can make faster, more informed decisions using Columbus’ analytics and business insights tool, delivered by Power BI and BI360. Quickly go from data, to insight, to action using stunning visualizations, easy to use dashboards, and interactive reports all in one view.

A 2021 McKinsey report found that the use of artificial intelligence for marketing efforts, business processes and product/service development has become widespread. In fact, 56% of respondents said their business uses AI for at least one function, which is a 6 percentage-point increase from last year. 
A recent industry report describes artificial intelligence (AI) as ‘a self-running engine for growth in healthcare with immense power to unleash improvements in cost, quality and access. Growth in the AI health market is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2021— a compound annual growth rate of 40%. In just the next five years, the AI health market will grow more than 10X2.’
Did you know that the Microsoft Power BI solution was originally designed for non-technical users? The intent was to give business professionals across the board access to critical data; a privilege once reserved for only IT and data personnel.
While most organizations understand the importance of data, far fewer have figured out how to successfully become a data-driven company. It’s enticing to focus on the “bells and whistles” of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms that can take raw data and create actionable insights. However, before you can take advantage of advanced analytics tools, there are other stops along the way, from operational reporting to intelligent learning. Digital transformation is dependent on adoption. But adoption and proficiency of new technologies can be disruptive to an organization. Mapping a data journey provides awareness and understanding of where your organization is to ultimately get where you want to go, with enablement and adoption of the technology throughout. Without the clarity provided by a data journey, your organization won’t be positioned to successfully deploy the latest technology.
Pricewaterhouse Coopers forecasts that Artificial Intelligence (AI) could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, of which $6.6 trillion is likely to come from increased productivity and $9.1 trillion from consumption-side effects.
