Business Intelligence for decision support now has a broader audience than ever, with a corresponding demand for customizable modules, easy access and adaptive business models. Recent developments in visualization technology, along with the proliferation of smart devices, offer the basis for powerful tools that capture the right data at the right time in a format that’s easy to access.
In fact, mobile access to business information, along with mobile-enabled activity, are now so ingrained in the corporate culture that it is critically important to develop a viable Business Intelligence strategy that not only takes these differences into account but even build on them.
Saama’s Mobile BI practice is specifically designed to deploy solutions that cater to the needs of a diverse and mobile workforce. More than just develop new applications, Saama helps build the ecosystem for a new generation of mobile BI products through unique IP tools to manage the LCM, developing a new methodology to design and select mobile visualizations, ensuring report readiness for mobile consumption (Cognos/BOBJ) and building extensions to unsupported platforms such as OBIEE & Pentaho (RoamBI).
A Question of Presentation
With Mobile BI, it’s essential to understand not only how the data is going to be used, but also how the size, shape, orientation and resolution of the end user’s device will affect the presentation of that data. Saama has built extensive experience and expertise in rolling out Mobile BI solutions that incorporate the staggering variety in form factors and data types found in mobile devices at large enterprises. Saama’s Mobile BI practice helps organizations identify optimal technologies and leverage our own IP tools to automate data readiness for mobile consumption and manage data quality.
One critical measure of mobile BI Implementation is the effectiveness of the user experience. Here, metrics are vital: optimal visualization depends on specific guidelines for what each user would like to see, and in what format, and how each form factor can accommodate those preferences. Easy access that caters to individuals tastes—mobile access by nature allows far greater variety than most other forms of information dissemination—in turn leads to greater user adoption. Saama’s innovative visualization methodology helps addresses these challenges directly.
Saama also offers the broader mobility enablement needs that most organizations now face today. The approach addresses numerous areas, such as:
- Mobile Platform Evaluation
- Mobile Infrastructure and Security Assessment
- Corporate Mobility Standards and Policies
- Quick enablement and rollout of mobile devices
