Manufacturers building a case for a business intelligence (BI) deployment face unique challenges, because the argument for deploying BI doesn't always translate well to a environment linking shop floor data with spreadsheets and data historians. In this podcast, manufacturing industry expert William McKnight explains:
- What role a manufacturer's ERP system plays in building a business case for BI
- How manufacturers can calculate the ROI of a BI implementation and when to expect to see results
- What role IT plays in BI software evaluation
- The benefits of SaaS BI software
- The importance of having a master data management (MDM) plan during BI implementation
