Dare to Dream

Many BI Implementations take 12 to 18 months to implement; this presentation will show how our team successfully deployed an enterprise wide data information solution within 2-3 months. We will cover the implementation that began with strategy and demonstrate the phased approach applied to development. Dashboards will be presented that have increased revenue and decreased costs within weeks of launching. These dashboards utilize real-time and daily information to allow for faster decision-making and quicker dissemination of data. Empowering team members to own their own data through dashboards and self-service reporting tools has created stronger data governance and buy-in through all levels of the company.
