What Is Rapid Fire BI? |

Rapid-fire BI is a new approach to providing true business intelligence. While traditional BI platforms perfected scheduled, parameterized reports, they do not do what they now espouse: provide self-service business intelligence.
While there is value to today’s existing reporting systems and is standardized, fixed reporting, they are not only based on a static view of the business, they are architecturally rigid, utilization rates are low and rather than an effective means to cope with change they are a major impediment to it. The speed of today’s business cycles require rapid adaptation. For a reporting architecture to be useful, it must exhibit the features of both fixed, consistent reporting as well as on-the-fly improvisation.
Further, old-school BI is notorious for poor user interfaces, inflexibility, and high cost of ownership. It doesn't fix the problem: business people want to find answers, and IT wants to be freed from the change request cycle.
What's needed is a different approach to business intelligence. We call it "rapid fire business intelligence" and it's how organizations are getting dramatically better business results.
