Intelligence was Never Meant to be Slow: The Accelerated Approach to BI
In the current ‘blink-and-change’ market environment, availability of accurate and actionable information at the right time to the right audience is increasingly becoming mission critical for enterprises.
Users would like to access information, on demand, for real-time decision making, through traditional and sophisticated modes of delivery.
Now imagine a realistic scenario where an enterprise has multiple disparate business units linked to a global subsidiary structure each tracking their customers, vendors, products, sales and distribution channels. Access to a singular view of information to measure the operational performance and understanding the behavioral insights into strategic KPIs is a myriad of disconnected analysis across multiple toolsets in a complex technology environment. Does this scenario resonate with you?
Our Accelerated BI approach helps adress the following:
• Do you get actionable insights at the right time to respond to faster-to-market conditions and increase efficiency?
• Is your mobile workforce empowered to make decisions ‘on the go’ to pursue opportunities and accelerate closure of business deals?
• Can you enable self-service for business users or do they need to depend on IT/data teams for their information needs?
• Are longer deployment cycles for analytical capabilities impacting your decision-making capabilities?
• Can you seamlessly access enterprise-wide data to increase market share and operational efficiency while optimizing operational costs?

Accelerated BI Approach addresses the above mentioned questions as follows:
Do you get actionable insights at the right time to respond to faster-to-market conditions and increase efficiency?
In today’s dynamic market conditions, it is imperative that organizations respond quickly to constantly changing global market forces. The inability to manage credit portfolio mix, control increasing costs and overheads at the right time has lead to the of fall many large corporations like Lehmann Brothers, General Motors etc. during the recession of 2008-09. Now, even as the markets start to recover and consumer spending begins to rise globally, it is necessary for the companies to make right investment decisions to tread back to the growth path.
Traditional ERP systems like Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and SAP etc do provide some sort of reporting functionality but the effectiveness and the usability of the reports rendered through these systems is mostly limited. Organizations today need to adopt Business Intelligence (BI) solutions that enable them to gain greater insight and value from a range of data sources at the right time. An appropriate BI solution will help an organization to make better decisions & actions and develop better business processes.
Infosys’ Accelerated Intelligence Approach provides a rapidly deployable BI platform that enables an organization to get actionable insights at the right time to respond to faster-to-market conditions and increase efficiency delivered through the Oracle Business Intelligence product suite. This approach helps organizations to realize the value of rapid deployment, lower TCO, and built-in best practices, while also being able to easily extend the solutions to meet their specific needs, or build completely custom BI applications – all on one common BI foundation.
It provides financial, operational, human resource and marketing intelligence to different users on a web based platform according to their role and position in the hierarchy and helps them to drill through to transactional level data to make well-informed decisions and actions.

Accelerated BI approach helps addresses the above mentioned as
In today’s ever changing environment many organizations have made heavy technology investments in powerful enterprise reporting and information delivery tools, only to find the goal of "the right information to the right person at the right time" remains elusive; something, somewhere, went wrong.
Many times workers and executives waste their time just looking for the information they need to perform a business task or make a decision. Managers and workers who will rely on the information delivered to them must first have full confidence the data provided to them is factually correct. There are few things more frustrating than a bottlenecked business process due not to worker inaction, but rather due to incorrect or incomplete business data.
Many IT directors strive to provide managers and workers direct access to organizational data using such powerful BI tools. But such tools, intended to provide data on a self-service basis, often prove maddeningly complex. Though these products bring data analysis to front line workers, a Ph.D. in statistics and experience in SQL programming are all but required to use the software.
Our Accelerated BI approach helps organizations with the right information to the right person at the right time quickly and easily, in manner even non-technical managers and workers can readily understand, use and act upon by readily deployable BI platform that enables an organization to get actionable insights at the right time to respond to faster-to-market conditions and increase efficiency delivered through the Oracle Business Intelligence product suite.
This one common BI application platform provides functionality that existing reports could be effectively used as a programming-free front line source of information by providing business users the ability to view dashboards with pre-build reports, ad-hoc query reporting, disconnect analysis, drill down through to transactional level data and provide teams the needed information.
