ABSTRACT:
Operational BI is different from traditional BI, which is largely an after-the-fact process of reports and analysis. Operational BI is more concerned with immediate, important issues such as comparing the results of different reactions, creation of time and elimination of latency. To a large extent today, these decisions are made manually, often by staff that is capable of more valuable work. This is the type of decision-making that an Operational BI system can help with.
The driver normally positioned to support making such decisions is speed. But is speed itself really sufficient? Technically, speed is just a measure, not a result. I may be driving 55mph, but where am I going? The assembly line may be moving 40ft/sec, but what is the output? When it comes to Operational BI, what really matters is the results, the creation of time and the elimination of latency.
Read this analyst report to learn more about operational BI and how it can help with the day-to-day decision-making important to your organization.
