OnDemand for Uncertain Times

The last 2 weeks have been a roller coaster in financial markets. Every business is affected by these changes. Many are taking a look at how to keep costs down and weather this storm. Businesses are investing only in what is most critical. Solutions of uncertain benefit are not considered.

So, what do you do? You may be in the market for a business intelligence solution. It’s already been determined by the business that providing metrics and information is key to the health of the business. However, investment, even in critical areas, may not be possible to the budget level originally given to the project. You may envision having an on-premise BI server but at this time, you can’t afford the upfront costs for hardware, training, consulting costs to install and configure, and the software license fees.

Enter Business Intelligence OnDemand. With a SaaS BI solution, these upfront costs don’t exist. It means you can be securely sharing reports and dashboards with stakeholders in as long as it takes to get signed up. An implementation time is only as long as it takes to build your first critical report or dashboard.

And, if, after a year or two, you want to go to on-premise BI solution, you can do it. You can download your content (e.g. reports and dashboards) and put that content on an internal Business Objects server. No other SaaS BI vendor can offer this flexibility.
