BI : Need of Mid and Small Manufacturing Companies too

In continuation of my earlier post : http://www.infosysblogs.com/oracle/2009/06/business_intelligence_serving_1.html .I would like to emphasize on BI needs by mid and small sized companies too.

n the current market situation it is the need of even the mid and small sized companies to have the so called sophisticated Business Intelligence tools. Finance and Retail have extensively used BI and now the change in operating parameters is forcing the use of BI in manufacturing too. We all will agree that there is definitely a need of BI to overcome increase in raw material cost, optimize resources , reduce inventory carrying costs, others.

We have in the market various BI tools that can collate data from different corners within and outside the organization and deliver needed information to aid us in taking the right decision at the right time. It again depends on the organization to identify the pain areas and make use of the best BI tool that can deliver the maximum benefit in that area.  It is very difficult to identify a BI tool that will fit as-is within an organization due to change in processes adopted by each industry.

You will find almost all BI tools being deployed as a web based system. This enables individuals to extract meaningful information from the BI solution. The time has come not to see IT department as an Information Gatekeeper but as a tools provider that enable the management to take quick and optimum decision.
