BI: Not an Afterthought

When starting a company or creating new business processes for an existing company, it is prudent to recognize the value of business intelligence and not view BI as an afterthought. We at ConradBI, through much experience, have learned the importance of investing in BI from the beginning.

You might be surprised to learn that it is actually easier and more cost efficient to start your BI program as your company starts rather than retrofitting a BI platform after your company has developed. Implementing BI architecture early allows you to scale quickly as new business processes are created.  More importantly, having a solid BI foundation to utilize as your company grows provides a great advantage. Insights gained will have a considerable positive impact on your business and are well worth the initial and continued investment.

If you are thinking to yourself “well that’s good advice, but my company is beyond the startup phase”, no need to worry. It is never too late to start developing your BI platform. It may seem like a daunting task but you do not have to start big. You do not have to build everything on day one.  Business intelligence can become useful even at the smallest capacity. Of course, the further you develop your program the more valuable your insights will become. 

At ConradBI, we can guide your company through these decisions. We are passionate about helping businesses reach their data intelligence potential, whether you are just starting out or years into your business journey.
