As an IT distribution companies, their business performance management features to enable them to be effective.The focus on sales performance management, accounts receivable and inventory, means it is budget management.Although the use of the ERP, but in a variety of comprehensive utilization of ERP data to achieve the budget management business, you need a lot of data integration.In order to achieve this demand, a well-known foreign enterprises to use the reporting system, developed hundreds of reports, while the sector because of its ERP and budget responsibility to set the center settings are different, so the statements in the ERP system is also setZhang, nearly a hundred statements, including thousands of formulas.However, each time to a quarterly business meetings, still need a lot of time to complete budget data for statistical analysis.
How can the information system for SMEs?
Finally, the business or use of business intelligence technology, take full advantage of multi-dimensional analysis model based on the existing ERP, quickly established a business analysis platform, thereby eliminating the need to maintain the original hundreds of statements.
Customer evaluation is: "Using the BI, is no longer the face of numerous reports and formulas, no longer worry about mistakes. Into small, it saves a huge amount of work, and, strict access control, the operation very simple."
As can be seen from the above cases, BI technology is very obvious value, it implements the information to decision makers from the business layer of the last mile! Chinese SMEs account for 98% of the total number of enterprises is based on the Chinese economyAlthough its total economic output was not as high proportion, but in history, precisely because of the vitality of SMEs, only the Western countries had a number of economic crisis! Therefore, the management level of SMEs on the Chinese economythe future development plays a key role.In order to improve their management level, so many years of continued application in the information technology investment, but did not achieve the expected value - not even most of the general manager of enterprise ERP account! We can say that SMEs not only need toBI system, and that it urgently needed!
However, because the inputs of SMEs in the information there, such as financial, management, staff quality, and many other factors, so that SMEs in the choice of BI systems, are more challenges:
First of all, the building of enterprises in the ERP eat a lot of suffering: buy come easy, but hard to use.BI is also painful to use up the implementation of it? BI applications from the current point of view, there is this situation: although the risk is much less than the implementation of ERP, but still need to go through a long period after the implementation in order tosee the benefits.
Second, the business of their satisfaction with the current ERP application is not high, will naturally have this worry: the current data is not accurate, then direct it not out of the analysis of data can not be trusted? Is the so-called garbage in, garbage data out.However, this concern but in actual application does not exist: it is because of the BI system, which will allow decision makers the data is garbage data, so that it can improve the chance, so the BI application will promote the ERP systemdata quality.
In addition, the SME ERP investment generally between 100,000 to 150,000, while the BI tens of thousands of millions, how dare you put ah?
In fact, the current BI applications and custom clothing is very similar: in the market, companies will find the right suppliers (tailor), which compares the value of the consulting company strength (the same as the master of the craft.)The BI tools (ie cloth), the general recommended by the manufacturer, of course, you can choose.Next, manufacturers will begin to conduct research into the enterprise (tailor), you need what kind of business model, business model of these data sources (such as neckline, sleeve length, shoulder), are to learn more about the.Finally, managers of the computer, you will see this beautiful clothes.
The small and medium enterprises, the need BI system, you may need into service as the same now, into the store, select their own sense of appropriate clothing, look in the mirror to determine wear to look good, we can immediately put on paidgo, money to buy expensive, no money to buy cheap.Thus, the monetary cost and time investment costs are minimal, you can indeed find the right clothes on the ground, there is no custom to redo it if you do not fit the risk.
So, BI vendors placed in front of the main problems are: how can the same as clothing, you can define color, size, sex, underwear and other properties to meet the individual needs of customers, even when you can solve a kind of similar to buy clothingindividual needs in common: according to height to the Conference side cutter trousers? the same time, but also to maximize the bulk copy?
The good news is, the current BI vendors have been efforts in this direction, we have reason to believe that: old Yan Wang Tse break and will soon be flying into the homes of ordinary people!
