Assessing Your Organization’s Business IntelligenceOften the difference between a pro-active or reactive organization lies within their ability to make actionable decisions daily, weekly and annually.
Business intelligence (BI) and reporting tools can enable organizations to take their reporting to the next level, beyond the capabilities of Excel spreadsheets.

While Excel is a much favored and familiar reporting tool it has its drawbacks, from spreadsheet errors, to no visible audit trail.
