Enterprises acknowledge the potential of BI but in practice most companies limit themselves to dashboards and reports. The inability to create deep impact on every aspect of their business operation leveraging BI arises from their limitations in data analysis. Limitations arise majorly from traditional BI and data analysis tools. Albeit powerful traditional BI tools are associated with a steep learning curve and not built keeping users of diverse levels of technological proficiency in mind. Their typical target users are data scientists or BI developers comprising a BI team. These users translate the results of the analysis into an understandable format for the rest of the company teams.
Ultimately, utilizing a traditional BI tool effectively is governed by the skills and availability of the BI team. This leads to two problems, firstly, overburdening your data scientists with BI tasks eats up their time for other data related roles which demands more human attention and secondly, an overburdened human is prone to error and missing out on small anomalies leading to erroneous results.
Traditional BI tools create static reports based on specific business requirements. The delay in getting the data scientist’s availability and creating the report may often make the reports outdated.
