DESCRIPTION
If you haven’t already embedded Business Intelligence (BI) functionality into your application, chances are, your competitors have an advantage. BI technology is becoming a common component of business applications used across all major job functions, departments and industries. Gartner predicts that within two years, 25 percent of analytics capabilities will be embedded in business applications, up from only five percent in 2010. If you haven’t already added embedded BI to your software, the time is now. Watch this Embedded BI Best Practices Webinar recording (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BxPdco9ab8&feature=youtu.be), and view this slide deck, to discover how to successfully add an analytics module to your product suite, and dramatically enhance its salability and market value – minus the development stress you might expect. Delight your customers and build your brand – all while avoiding the strain of independently developing, maintaining and supporting an in-house BI module.TRANSCRIPT
