THE FINDINGS
Data provided by
2012 Aberdeen Group.
www.aberdeen.com
The reports are clear: Interactive BI allows for agility in the face of decreasing business
response time. Forty-four percent of the organizations that use just interactive BI tools
are always able to provide business managers with the information they need, in the
timeframe required. This holds true for just 17 percent of the organizations that rely
solely on traditional BI.
Companies that have complemented their traditional BI solutions with the interactive
approach are almost 50 percent more likely to consistently meet the needs of business
managers than those that rely solely on traditional BI solutions. A highly visual approach
to BI can liberate business managers and transform their decision-making by ensuring
they have access to the right information at the right time.

CRACKINGTHE CODEBEHIND FASTBUSINESSINTELLIGENCE
As information demand and data volume continue to grow, organizations are
faced with the challenge of analyzing and disseminating that information in a
timely manner. Thats why Best-in-Class companies already are adopting
visual discovery over traditional Business Intelligence (BI), resulting inresponsive, self-service analytics.
AS THE DECISION-MAKINGWINDOW SHRINKS,
AGILITY IS THE KEYIt comes down to getting the right information to the right people at the right time.
We surveyed hundreds of organizations to identify Best-in-Class, industry average
and laggards in information agility. This is based on their ability to find information
needed in the time required, the average elapsed time to add a column to an existing
report, and time to create a new dashboard.
