Business Intelligence
SharePoint's business intelligence suite allows companies to centrally aggregate, integrate and help secure data from multiple sources and make it readily accessible to all levels of staff across an organization. This information can be presented in a variety of visual ways, including reports, spreadsheets, dashboards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Using Microsoft business intelligence tools provides an easy way for your organization to perform business planning tasks such as forecasting, setting sales targets, determining trends and providing self service reporting.
Benefits of Business Intelligence
- Access business-critical information from various sources in one location. Live, interactive business intelligence (BI) portals can be created that assemble and display business-critical information from disparate sources, using integrated BI capabilities such as dashboards, Web Parts, scorecards, key performance indicators (KPIs), and business data connectivity technologies. Centralized Report Center sites give users a single place for locating the latest reports, spreadsheets, or KPIs
- Real-time, interactive Excel spreadsheets. Staff can access real-time, interactive Excel spreadsheets from a Web browser through Excel Services running on SharePoint Server
- Maintain and share one central, up-to-date version of a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets can be used to maintain and efficiently share one central and up-to-date version while helping to protect any proprietary information embedded in the documents (such as financial models)
