Our view:

For businesses to take full advantage and embrace and realize the power of their data, it needs to be accessible and up to date and available in Business Intelligence tools to allow decision-makers to undertake analysis and make informed decisions.

These Business Analysis tools were once only available to large corporations (due to their cost and complexity). With Microsoft Excel being practically available on most computers within today’s modern businesses, its data analysis, and data manipulation capabilities, combined with its relative ease of use, make it a strong business intelligence tool that is now available to the masses.

With Excel being a low-cost, but big capability tool, Business Intelligence solutions are now readily available to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) allowing them to gain valuable insights that were once only undertaken by large corporations that could afford such workflows and processes.

A simple example of this is the capability to build Business Intelligence dashboards in Excel to display data such as sales within a specific area during a set period, using graphs and tables. A dashboard such as this, allows SMEs to have a real-time, customisable solution that can source information from multiple locations and provide a consolidated page of key performance indicators, and business-critical data and metrics on a single screen.

Turning large volumes of data into meaningful information that can be leveraged to the benefit of the SME.

We, at ExcelSuperSite, see this trend here to stay and continue to grow as more and more SME’s start to self-manage their business intelligence needs and take full advantage of the power of the data they have at their fingertips.
