FAQ
What does a BI platform do?
Business Intelligence platforms are software tools that allow you to see and understand your data. This includes gathering data from multiple source systems and refreshing data on regular schedules or even using a real-time connection. They give tools to work with the data and create dashboards, charts, and tables. You can go further by creating filters, calculated fields and using input parameters to create interactive analyses. Finally, the BI platform will allow the results to be shared and collaborated on using the web, mobile apps, or embedded in your existing applications.
How long does it take implement BI solutions?
Onware offers a Guided Evaluation that aims to aid organizations that are interested in using BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI. Typically, through a one-week on-site engagement, we are able to connect to your data and deliver up to four prototype data visualizations. The Guided Evaluation is a great tool to jump start the journey to becoming a data-driven organization.
Do I need to have all my data in a data warehouse?
Data warehouses, data lakes, data marts – these are all terms that we are hearing in connection with BI and Analytics. To be clear, it is not necessary to set up and configure these tools before starting with BI and Analytics. Often, it is better to start with a BI tool to start exploring and seeing your data to help inform and analyse what the overall data architecture for your organization will look like.
Tableau vs Power BI vs Excel – which is the best solution?
Whether you choose Tableau or Power BI, both tools have significant advantages over Excel. Data analytics tools are all about seeing and understanding your data in a visual way. To help you answer your important business questions at a glance, rather than wading through a sea of numbers. In addition analytics tools are built with things like data quality and refreshes in mind, so you are always looking at the most recent data about your business. Onware doesn’t typically recommend Tableau or Power BI without first having a discussion about your business and your data requirements, to help inform and pick the best solution.
Do you work with other industries outside of construction?
Onware has experience working with a variety of industries, including agriculture, manufacturing and distribution, and automotive. Our extensive knowledge of business financial and supply chain data helps us to get started faster when working with new clients.
