Needs, Cost, and Risk
Traditionally BI solutions were only for enterprise-class companies due to the cost and complexity of BI implementation.
Research on BI applications shows that a Performance Driven Culture outperforms its peers by 30%. In order to be on the competitive edge, organizations now realize they need a BI solution.
The cost of a traditional BI project is prohibitive in many organizations. BI Powerhouse™ is built on the Microsoft BI platform resulting in a TCO (Tocal Cost of Operation) that is under 30% of traditional BI solutions, and therefore affordable by today's standards.
When companies start a BI project from scratch, they need to be aware that 50% of those projects fail based on statistics. You can avoid this high failure rate with BI Powerhouse™ since it is a prebuilt, packaged BI application built on the Microsoft BI Platform, which offers affordable cost, minimal risk, rapid deployment, and faster user acceptance.
