Why Self-Service BI? 

Organisations are increasingly moving towards Self-Service BI to unlock key advantages like: 

  • Enhanced productivity:

Business users have increased autonomy with the ability to analyse data independently, reducing the burden on IT or data specialists, enabling faster and more informed decision making. 

  • Tailored Analysis:

Business users can create custom reports for their specific needs which can easily be adapted to ever-changing business requirements and questions. 

  • Improved Collaboration:

Business users can share insights, fostering collaborating across the organisation. The power of analysis can be role modelled across multiple departments.

  • Innovation:

Easier access to data encourages experimentation, leading to better data products. 

  • Increased Data Literacy:

More of the organisation engaging with data encouraging an environment where decisions are backed by data. 

All ultimately leading to the empowered business users who can make informed decisions at a faster pace. 

However, the value of Self-Service Business Intelligence is only seen when there is high quality, accessible data which is modelled in an efficient and scalable way. At FSP, our engineers can bring multiple data sources together to build robust, scalable models to enable Self Service BI.
