Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), many organizations that use Business Intelligence (BI) application programs, or update a common dilemma. They are current ERP vendors (often marketed as less than distribution problems of integration easier) if you choose the questions are presented by BI systems? Or you can promise a specific function to third party BI software options should appear?
ERP vendors by buying BI
The bad news is that there is a simple answer. The good news for organizations with large investments in ERP, BI options is better than ever. Most ERP vendors now offer integrated decision support. In recent years, been many developments in this field. To support the growth levels of the traditional ERP vendors saw BI as a faction. Were obtained from most large BI vendors. A trend started by taking the Hyperion by Oracle, SAP acquired Business Objects and IBM acquired Cognos have done the same.
ERP provider for the BI product offering for customers who choose to Pidilite Industries is an example. Rajesh Panchal, Director - IT applications, reports: “ We have implemented the SAP after 90 business intelligence has never been a leader for us, but now, for all purposes of analysis, we used the SAP BO, "Panchal citing as the main reasons behind the choice of ERP vendor SAP BI ease of integration and value.
Another fan of the ERP - BI is a combination of Essar Steel. Abhijit Bhalerao, Essar Information Technology in the AVP, said, "ERP vendors to evaluate KPI and BI product vendors to meet the other criteria of a good score, you take it on board for ERP vendor of BI is a plus Benefits of single source ERP enterprise data, particularly important. "He said.

Consider Other Sellers
CIOs are often discussed topics of a company must consider the major BI vendors, or even a smaller BI players should go, but an expert. Nitin Bhosekar, Head - Pre-Sales, BI, DW and Analytics Syntel small BI vendors warn against dismissal. He said: "I do not want to have sex all the agencies with major ERP vendors ERP vendors will always be small organizations working with these companies, smaller BI vendors for your needs analysis and presentation reporting to work together. You can find more appropriate. "Syntel, including BI, the implementation of enterprise applications.
ERP vendors can not deny that the company offers other possible scenario is when you find deficiencies in the BI product. Ease of integration may not be the only criteria organizations can choose. Special needs, special vertical or not, an ERP vendor evaluation plays an important role for BI.
Pidilite Panchal "We all need to use the analysis of SAP BO, but we, our advice and other ad hoc query requirements, the need for MAIA," admits the possibility of a new hybrid approach in which small and large the same time showing the two BI vendors is used for different purposes. Bhalerao Essar, said: "If you need advanced analytical capabilities that can be provided by the manufacturers of ERP intelligence, then it makes sense to deploy a BI is not the other.
"Remember, your BI tool gives reliable results in the profile is almost the same amount of effort data, data quality and management have to be." Choice of ERP vendors do not end to business intelligence to the magic of these issues, "said Bhalerao.
Data Architecture Needs
Unable to save the architecture of your data organization is an important consideration. The old systems, CRM data, data marts and databases already in chapter deserve their share of attention. All data can be generated by the ERP system. As a result, ERP vendors must be evaluated against the requirements of these systems.
Bhosekar points out another trend. "The advent of open source BI [OBSI] BI landscape has added a new dimension. OBSI provides a small investment back quickly. Experience in cost considerations, mainly due to the adoption of particular interest OBSI and for users of ERP generally widespread and growing. "
BI technology, ERP, etc. to the selection of third party suppliers, the organization may be best to take along the landscape level and scope of the BI. Which method should be aware of the actual capabilities of any vehicle or boundaries.
