Q: HOW DID YOU FIRST COME TO INSTALL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOFTWARE?
A: A couple of years ago, a large number of our departments had a requirement for decision support systems – to provide buyers, merchandisers and departmental managers with a key set of core business reports, enabling them to better manage their stock and replenishment.
Business Objects’ business intelligence (BI) solution was chosen. We didn’t previously have a business intelligence tool, so this was our first front-end BI tool. Around 20-40 users in various departments, primarily in fashion and light household, are using it.
