Conventional Business Intelligence (BI) solutions require IT to cobble together a set of disparate tools to consolidate data from multiple data sources which leads to long implementation cycles and high failure rates. As result BI implementations are inflexible, limited in scope, and suffer from low enterprise adoption. Birst provides a high degree of automation in a single product that addresses traditional challenges to cost effectively and quickly access data and deploy BI solutions.
With Birst’s industry-leading data warehouse automation technology, IT can benefit from:
- Data integration from multiple data sources including SAP, SalesForce, Apache Hadoop, operational and financial systems into a modern star schema design
- Database management activities including index management, performance tuning and optimization of disk I/O for performance
- Easy addition of new tables, calculated tables and schema changes to an existing data structure
- Generation and maintenance of fact and dimension tables, join relationships and the required processes for loading into an analytical data store
- Support for cross-dimensional analysis and time series analysis
- Management of key relationships including surrogates where necessary
- Change detection and history maintenance
BI Applications as Agile as Your Business
The advantage of automation is that it enables rapid iterative development of an analytical data store by enabling IT to focus on the logical model underlying the business process to be measured and not the physical instantiation of it. Business users can benefit from advanced analytics and a holistic view of their business. BI applications that adapt and respond to changing business requirements remain as agile as your business.
