As you have likely heard, the cloud has become an important software delivery model for businesses. You’ve heard about its ability to provide a more affordable delivery model for growing businesses and its ability to decrease costs for technology a business of your size could only fathom to afford a decade ago.
It’s also likely you’ve heard a lot of technical jargon and buzzy exaggerations about the cloud’s “game-changing ability to shatter the status quo, disrupting industries and creating synergies you’ve never thought possible.”

Business Intelligence is More than Just Dashboards
When you are looking at ERP solutions for your business, you will see that many—if not all options—provide some form of business intelligence (BI) functionality to visualize data and make smarter decisions.
However, the one thing BI is most well-known for, dashboards, is only part of its promise. In fact, BI is a much more robust tool that provides insights to your company’s decision makers and turns data into knowledge. In Business Intelligence: More than Dashboards, you can learn:
- What Business Intelligence is and how BI works
- The reporting functionality you should look for in BI
- How BI can combine related data into meaningful metrics and knowledge
- How to analyze on your own terms to get a deeper look into the numbers.
