IBM Business Analytics Enterprise is designed to break down silos so the right teams can access the right information at the right time. For example, an organization’s sales, HR, and operations teams may want to access data and insights from a variety of business intelligence and planning tools, such as optimizing sales goals, building workforce forecasts, or forecasting operational capacity. But when it’s important to share data and reporting across departments, complications can arise because those teams are using multiple solutions. This can result in duplicate content across applications, which can compromise data consistency and quality. IBM Business Analytics helps enterprise data be easily shared, preserved and avoids data duplication by giving users across departments a single point to view the data they need.

Dinesh Nirmal, general manager of data, AI and automation, IBM. “But to be truly data-driven, organizations must be able to provide their disparate teams with more comprehensive analytics tools and a complete set of business data without compromising their compliance, security or privacy programs. IBM Business Analytics Enterprise provides a way to bring analytics tools together in a single view, regardless of the vendor or where the data resides.” Whatever it is.
