Do we now really have relevant and good management information to hand at the push of a button? Are we going to succeed in that with Mobile Business Intelligence? Very positive effect: more potential BI users You can probably recall that a dozen years or so ago Microsoft advertised with the slogan ‘Information at your fingertips’, now also abbreviated as IAYF. With Mobile Business Intelligence we can also reach this large group of users, provided that the mobile app is user friendly and can quickly conjure up the right insights that are needed at that moment. These are the users who are constantly on the move, working in places where there is no computer access or those users who found it too much trouble to start Business Intelligence on the laptop or desktop. The answer is in our BI & Analytics Guide where we compared 20 tools for Business Intelligence on hundreds of selection criteria. The question is whether all Business Intelligence vendors are ready for mobile Business Intelligence. Assuming they take the right decisions and actions! When managers consistently do the above and mobile BI may well support this, it is hardly surprising that the performance of the company will increase. From a Business Intelligence study among 389 organizations, it became clear that one of the biggest success factors for Business Intelligence is the use of information for analysis, process improvement, innovation and action. Figures can be viewed from everywhere in almost any situation. With BI apps on smart phones and tablets, users of these devices are only limited by their internet connections. Mobile Business Intelligence will clearly increase the usage of key information by managers and employees. And I guess they are right, being able to do thorough analysis requires people to have devices like big screens, a mouse and the possibility to switch easily between windows. Possibly, they believe that mobile Business Intelligence will become a commodity, but that a small part of Business Intelligence will be consumed in traditional ways: viewing reports and dashboards on desktops and laptops. Possibly, they believe that mobile BI will become a commodityĪ small number of voters (17%) did not (completely) agree with the statement in the poll. We asked visitors: “Business intelligence will become completely mobile in the near future”. The future of Business Intelligence is mobile. In addition, managers love gadgets like smartphones and tablets. This is hardly a strange outcome since the business case for mobile Business Intelligence is very strong.
