Helical Insight: A Self Service Business Intelligence Tool

Author : Shawnell Godinho 1 Dr. Preeti Sharma 2

Date of Publication :24th August 2016

Abstract: A new trend of self service is catching on, in the world of business intelligence. Self-service business intelligence (SSBI) is an approach to data analytics that enables business and non-technical users to access and work with data even though they do not have a background in statistical analysis, business intelligence (BI) or data mining. BI software vendors and industry experts recognize self-service reporting as a key feature of BI because it eliminates obstacles to timely insight and decision making and lowers the costs of reporting, analysis, and metrics-driven management by putting data directly in the hands of those who need it.[1] There are not many SSBI tools in the market that completely satisfy the needs of business and non-technical users. According to a 2012 study by Wayne Eckerson, approximately 64 percent of self-service initiatives are rated as having achieved only an “average” or lower level of success by BI professionals. A BI program—self-service or not—can fail quickly if the users don’t trust the information it provides.[2] Helical Insight is an open source SSBI tool that is API driven with a simplified user interface that aims to completely satisfy the needs of all the business and non-technical users and make the transition to a BI tool a smooth experience
