Why Enterprise
Reporting?
The following is derived from Ventana Research©
“There are a number of compelling arguments for the
deployment of enterprise reporting, not the least of which is that it can provide
a solid platform on which to expand
the reach of BI tools affordably to more users and to focus BI on producing actionable
intelligence that can make a difference immediately.
It can be intimidating for IT managers to contemplate the
enormous quantity of data gathered within their organization and from outside sources
that must find its way into the reports users want. Online transaction systems (OLTP),
e-commerce systems and other applications pour so much data into underlying repositories
that even midsize enterprises are starting to find themselves having to store many
terabytes. In today’s information-driven economy, IT must play a critical role in
organizing data and helping users across the business derive meaning from it to
use for timely business analysis, collaborative decision-making and regulatory compliance.
Enterprise reporting is about developing an integrated
view of the organization’s entire portfolio of data sources. Through a single platform
that brings reporting tools and styles together with a robust metadata platform
that can integrate multiple data models, organizations can produce an array of reports
and dashboards, without having to shift from system to system to get it done. By
unifying reporting, data held by different departments or in different systems can
be brought together to yield new insights about business performance, resource utilization
and more.

Comprehensive, Accurate Views of Information
To understand business performance
with respect to customers, supply chains, corporate profitability and other key
matters, users need to see information drawn from more than one application, if
not more than one department. And they need to be able to drill down to understand
the details, not just stop at the summary bar graphs and pie charts that appear
in a portal or on a dashboard. Enterprise reporting, as an independent layer above
ERP and/or other applications, frees users
from being tied to one system and
enables them to access and analyze information from heterogeneous sources. The enterprise
reporting system’s metadata handles integration so that users don’t have to know
the differences in data models and dictionaries to make use of the information.
Increased User Adaptability
By working with a consolidated suite,
IT doesn’t have to employ multiple tools to deliver all the styles of reporting
that users need. Business managers, for example, can just drag and drop reporting
options to satisfy requirements rather than ask IT for another round of time-consuming,
expensive customization. Simplifying and consolidating options into an enterprise
platform is important right now because the Web is broadening even further the kinds
of information access, analysis and sharing options business users want. IT won’t
have time to switch from tool to tool to enable Web-based search, access for mobile
devices and connectivity to Microsoft Office tools. The smoother, more cost-effective
and more agile approach is to work with an SOA-based enterprise reporting platform.
Reduced IT Backlog
Drag-and-drop simplicity is one facet
of a major goal: to give users the ability to do things themselves. Not only do
users want the power of information, IT needs to give it to them so it can lower
its own costs and reduce the application development and upgrade backlog. Self-service
is how businesses drive down many internal costs, and IT can use it to free up resources
to focus on governing and managing information, issues that are ever more critical
in this age of intensifying regulation and privacy concerns. Enterprise reporting
will give users the confidence that IT is standing behind the quality of the information
– not standing in the way of legitimate business needs to access and analyze it.”
A Foundation for Performance Management
The consistent view of information
that enterprise reporting can deliver is a key enabler of advanced BI analysis.
Performance management moves beyond just looking at data to an understanding of
what the data says about how the business is performing – and even more important,
what to do if numbers fall outside of expectations. Drawing from ERP and other relevant
applications and data sources, enterprise reporting can populate key metrics and
performance indicators with timely data. Finally, organizations will be able to
see the results of the application of best practices, Six Sigma and other methodologies.
Performance management can become part of a continuous, organization-wide improvement
cycle.
Reporting has long been a core activity
getting valuable information out to users. The time has come to take it to the next
level: to make possible a broader, richer and higher-quality view of the data so
users can make important decisions fast and act with confidence. Enterprise reporting
will consolidate the gains of the past and prepare a platform for the future, including
the implementation of performance management. In the marketplace, advantages accrue
to those who can seize opportunity. Performance management gives organizations uncommon
insight, but it takes enterprise reporting to deliver that insight with fact-based
clarity and meaning.
