Business Intelligence software adds tremendous business value, but it traditionally has been very expensive and time-consuming to run. The license fees are high, and you need a team of consultants to install and configure it. This picture is rapidly changing with the advent of on-demand Business Intelligence software.
On-demand Business Intelligence software runs “in the cloud”: it does not require any installation. A new instance can be created in seconds and accessed via a web browser. There is no hardware to purchase or manage: that is taken care of by the cloud. If you have a processing-intensive analysis coming up, the cloud will automatically assign additional servers: so it’s a complete on-demand solution.
GoodData has added even more unique features to its on-demand Business Intelligence solution. A dedicated usability team has dramatically simplified the user experience, without sacrificing sophistication. It also contains strong collaboration features: you can start discussions around reports, and even add in-context annotations (like Excel comments).
GoodData has brought Business Intelligence into the age of “Web 2.0″. Try it out yourself: just sign-up and get started.
