SMBs to adopt SaaS based BI

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

AMI recently conducted the study which reveals that Indian SMBs are facing a greater need to take faster strategic decisions based on real-time analysis from large volumes of volatile and diverse data. They’re increasingly turning towards Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, which will soon assume a pivotal role in pushing SMBs into a fast growth track.

The availability of multiple SaaS-based Business Intelligence (BI) solutions will provide considerable impetus to the adoption of BI tools among Indian SMBs. Although there are concerns about implementing a cloud based model (mainly security), vendors and the market as a whole have matured. The proliferation of smartphones and tablets in the SMB space and the need to make decisions anywhere, anytime accessing real-time analytics is pointing to strong planned adoption of mobile BI solutions.

“Optimism and a newer outlook will push Indian SMBs to adopt SaaS based BI. A positive trend is expected in the immediate future. SMBs are anticipated to spend around $45 million on SaaS based BI in the year 2013,” said Somnath Das, Manager-Research, AMI-Partners.

“Specialty retail, department stores and stores with more than five branches would derive immense benefits from a Retail Business Intelligence solution, which would enable them to control marketing and merchandising, product and service management, store operations, customer management and multi-channel execution” added Das.
