Self-Service Business Intelligence

Much attention has been paid to the use of self-service analytical tools that help business users analyze data without requiring IT intervention. Typically, these are beneficial for sophisticated users who understand how to source their own data and perform various forms of analysis. But a large majority of business users don't have the savvy to start from a blank slate and get what they need, so they're better served by placing this information into a highly interactive form in a set business context. In other words, they need apps. Only the WebFOCUS platform provides facilities that satisfy both sets of requirements for thousands -- even millions -- of users.
