Key Challenges that Businesses face
Many organizations will have business expansion, and evolution in their data platform, which will have a drastic impact on the end data sources, called producers of Data. While the landscape of the Data platform will eventually evolve to have data-driven architectures, certain decision-making insights will have a direct impact, where the potential challenges could come from the following aspects:
- As many companies continue to rely on manual processes to get data insights, which is quite time-consuming, human errors will also lead to inconsistent reporting of data.
- Without an automated reporting tool integrated and a lack of real-time reporting insights, which the business struggles to assess, and analyze the patterns in real-time. As a result, the business users will refer to the outdated insights for a longer period, leading to slow reaction to market change, and poor decision-making.
- While the companies partner with several third-party sources including CRM, ERP, and marketing platforms, without a centralized data platform makes it challenging to integrate with the individual SaaS services in a cohesive manner leading to data silos and fragmented insights.
- Collaboration also is a major challenge. Without a centralized platform, sharing reports and collaborating on data insights is often difficult. Businesses may rely on static document attachments, making it hard to keep everyone on the same page and update reports in real-time, which will delay the process of updating, interacting, and communicating breakdowns, can lead to a lack of mutual opinions and create inefficiencies.
- As the business grows, so do its analytical needs, requiring a complex set of reports and KPIs. To support this, data marts are created in conjunction with the real-time reporting tool with minimum cost. The traditional methods can cause a struggle to integrate, operate, and model the individual data sources, which are time-consuming and will be difficult to scale the dashboard development.
