Challenges of Real-time Data
Even if all of the signs are pointing to real-time analytics as the answer, there are still company leaders and end-users themselves who must also buy-in. Not to mention the work that will need to be done in-house to ensure that accurate data and parameters are set-up for the solutions to work effectively. Then there’s also the costs and internal changes like new reporting styles to adjust to. All of these present challenges that make some businesses wary about taking the plunge. However, with some advance planning and strategy, it doesn’t have to be daunting at all.
Tips to Overcome Real-time Obstacles
Getting everyone to understand the significance of timely data and acting on it quickly is important. Take time to explain to end-users and decisions makers all of the ways real-time data and business intelligence reporting and tools stand to bring benefit to the company. A better understanding will more easily lead to acceptance and usage of the new offering. Once everyone is on board, adjustments to internal processes, understanding the new reporting capabilities and training on how to best utilize the tools will ensure a smooth transition.
