SAP BI Suite/Platform
Using analytics tools to collect massive amounts of Big Data from your organization is one thing. Extracting meaning from that data and using it to drive real growth is another.

Right Tool for the Right User
One question that we encounter frequently from clients is about the overlapping capabilities of tools in the SAP BI portfolio. While redundancy in capabilities is a fact, there is no tool that would fit everyone. Bright BI Consulting team adopts a user-centric approach to architecture and tool selection. This in turn increases the likelihood of BI adoption. A typical approach consists of the following:
Assess the user type profile that needs insights (power user, executive or end user)
- Identify specific needs for the user profile (authoring, consuming or both)
- Identify tools of choice that would serve the identified needs
- Check which of these tools can consume data from its current source
- If you still have more than one tool shortlisted, consider other factors such as learning curve, familiarity and specific tool capabilities to identify the right one
Right Tool for the Right Feature
Certain features can only be met by select tools. In such cases, a better option may be taking a corrective measure that could facilitate better tool selection. For example, you may have to migrate the data from one source to another, or leverage a multi provider instead of a standard cube. In some cases, you may be better off waiting for an upcoming release of SAP for the best solution. Bright BI Consulting’s experts can help you navigate such scenarios so that you deliver the right architecture and user experience, thereby ensuring successful BI adoption.
