What is Rapid Fire Business Intelligence?

Lily Caroline

Rapid-fire BI is a new approach to providing true business intelligence delivering dramatically better business results. While traditional BI platforms perfected scheduled, parameterized reports, they do not do what they now espouse: provide self-service business intelligence services.

Below are some of the attributes of Rapid Fire Business Intelligence

User-Driven Approach

Analytics and reporting are decentralized and produced by the people using the results. IT provides the infrastructure, but business people create their reports and dashboards.

Easy Visual Interfaces

The user interfaces leverage the human brain and natural curiosity; results are visual and interactive. People get answers faster; they’re smarter and more effective. If people don’t find the software easy to use, they won’t use the software. End of story.

Flexible Configurations

Companies need BI based on today’s needs without cramping growth. Whether today’s need is one business analyst with one data source or 10,000 field representatives accessing hundreds of sources, software needs to be configurable and priced to support that.

High Performance

BI needs to run fast. Your BI solution must have multiple means of getting that performance. Different departments and organizations have different needs.

Easy Administration

IT can support the new BI application with existing staff and infrastructure. No professional services (or fees) required.
