Leading firms adopting mobile BI solutions


The majority of best-in-class companies are reporting widespread deployment of mobile business intelligence (BI) solutions across their firms.

According to Aberdeen, 56 per cent of top companies service their mobile workers with BI as part of their remote-working strategies.

What's more, some 83 are per cent able to deliver business information to mobile workers on the same day that events occur - this compares favourably to just 57 per cent of industry-average companies.

David Hatch, vice president of BI practice at Aberdeen, suggested that there are many factors to consider when supporting mobile workers with "timely, relevant, and actionable business information".

"In addition to the issues surrounding data volumes and connectivity, organisations must also resolve issues related to device and platform standardisation, display screen 'real estate,' and data and device security," he elaborated.

Recently, website Multichannel News suggested that it is crucial for businesses to make sure they have disaster recovery systems in place.
