BIRST Industrial Transformation Series

Modern cloud BI and analytics to optimize your most complex business processes

Birst is the only enterprise Business Intelligence (BI) platform that connects together the entire organization through a network of interwoven virtualized BI instances on-top a shared common analytical fabric. We start the Birst Industrial Transformation Series with a disruptive solution that is changing the way organizations deliver BI projects.

In essence Birst enterprise BI delivers:

First, the speed, self-service, and agility front line-business workers demand

Second, the scale, security, and control to meet rigorous corporate demand

And finally achieves all of this with low Total Cost of Ownership via public or private cloud configurations

Networked BI virtualizes the entire analytics and data ecosystem, enabling the transformation of an organization’s approach to analytics.

In summary, this enables organizations to expand the use of BI across multiple regions, product lines, departments, and customers in a more agile way and empowers these decentralized teams to augment their enterprise data with their own local data.

Networked BI is different, allowing both top-down and bottom-up blending of data. The result is local execution with global governance, eliminating data silos once and for all and dramatically accelerating the delivery of BI across the enterprise.

SunnyD Gained End-to-End Visibility

SunnyD had eight different legacy systems in place, each an independent silo of decision making.

Conflicting information led to revenue unpredictability, lower margins and high inventory buffers.

Birst powers SunnyD with a comprehensive, easy-to-use platform that enables a holistic view of their supply chain. With this visibility, SunnyD has been able to optimize planning from promotion to production to fulfillment in order to maximize profit.

They achieved 7% savings on expedited shipping, 2% sales increase from visibility into store inventory and “just in time” delivery to eliminate stock-outs and, 90% reduction in overtime costs from adjustments due to forecast visibility and order-to-fulfillment process improvements

Legacy BI: The Greatest Risk you Face as a CDO?

It’s a digital age, and modern users expect fast easy-to-deploy Business Intelligence (BI) tools. Older BI systems can’t keep up with the breakneck pace of today’s business landscape.

Numerous risks entailed with staying shackled to legacy BI include data silos, reporting chaos, and data integrity erosion.

Forward-thinking Chief Data Officers (CDOs) have already discovered, and leading analysts agree, that the expense of continuing with legacy BI is greater than the cost of making a change.

In fact, some organizations have ‘mobile first’ strategies, where the primary information delivery mechanism is mobile. Mobile BI, therefore, is no longer just a “nice-to-have,” but is quickly becoming the principal way business users demand to consume analytics.
