In order to grow your energy services business, having access to the right data is critical. Before you can make sound decisions related to growing your staff and service crew, taking on more jobs, or even reducing project costs, you need to have all the information.
Many organizations think that having access to this data means increasing the number of servers that they have to store data – which leads to needing additional software licenses, software products for analyzing data, and staffing increases in their IT departments. In other words, most companies look at the need for better data and better reporting capabilities need for additional space.
However, that’s not always the case.
With SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand, organizations can access their data from the cloud. As a result:
- Virtual servers can replace the need for additional server hardware – and for a larger, temperature-controlled room in which to store it
- Reports can be created using software that is accessible online – meaning no need to install applications on individual machines
- Additional IT staff who maintain the servers are not necessary as the units are hosted offsite and maintained by a professional team
Business Intelligence on demand ensures that you are able to securely access all of your company’s vital information. Because the SAP BusinessObjects BI OnDemand platform is provided as a Software as a Service, you’ll be able to do so without adding software, hardware, or additional staff.
If your space is limited, but you still hope to grow your business, there’s no reason to sacrifice business intelligence. Taking BI to the cloud will help you to reach your goals – and make better decisions about staffing and using your available space.
