Cloud Based
Cloud Business Intelligence (BI) applications are hosted on a virtual network, such as the internet. They are used to provide organizations access to BI-related data such as dashboards, KPIs and other business analytics. Enterprises are increasingly turning to cloud-based tools, like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications (Salesforce), online file collaboration and storage (Dropbox, Box) and help desk software (UserVoice, Zendesk). This trend includes business intelligence tools embracing the agility and accessibility of the Cloud.
Cloud-hosted BI applications make business data more accessible than ever before.
Cloud computing and business intelligence are an ideal match. Business intelligence is about delivering the right information to the right people at the right time, and cloud computing provides a lightweight, agile way to access BI applications. The beauty of Cloud BI applications is that they are accessible on multiple devices and web browsers. This is circumventing traditional software barriers such as the requirement to access the application on-site.
Benefit of Services
Cloud BI offers some significant advantages over on-premise applications. Here are a few of these advantages:
- Ease of use
- Deployment speed
- Accessibility
- Scalability and elasticity
What Is Included
Cloud BI offers several advantages, including the following:
Ease of deployment – as an internet-based software, users can quickly install a cloud BI solution without waiting for overworked IT staff to arrive.
Simplicity – quality cloud BI tools are designed with easy-to-use dashboards and intuitive design so users get in and get started without muddling through a complicated set of instructions.
Mobile-friendly – employees are no longer tied to their desktops in order to access information. Cloud BI solutions are accessible from mobile phones and tablets.
Scalability – as companies increase headcount or expand geographically, adding new users to an existing cloud BI solution is simple and quick.
Reduced overheads – cloud solutions minimize the number of on-site servers and staff needed to manage day-to-day operations. Expenses that once fell to IT can be reapplied to other functions within the company.
Increased competition – in the past, only large organizations could afford to implement software that provided business intelligence insights. With cloud expansion and its economic benefits, small- and medium-sized businesses can also gain access to valuable intelligence. Companies of all sizes within an industry vertical can leverage cloud BI tools, which creates a more level playing field.

It’s a big myth that Cloud-based solutions are less secure. With a host of data security protocols and features, cloud-based BI solutions are extremely secure. Most of the analytics solutions leverage data encryption, data segregation, security patches, multi-tiered caching, and offer regulatory compliance. The solutions also make use more advanced protocols such as user fingerprint and voice recognition authentication to ensure data security.
