Abstract
the size, companies have adopted an approach to electronic data collection and
management for two decades. The advancement in technology means they have in
their possessions large volumes of historical data. Large organizations have cached
on this and use a range of tools and techniques to leverage the usefulness of this
information to make more informed business decisions. For most small and medium-
sized enterprises (SMEs), however, such data typically sits in an archive without being
utilized. While SMEs appreciate the need for utilizing historical data to make more
informed business decisions, they often lack the technical knowhow and funding to
embrace an effective BI solution. In this paper, drawing from our experience in
implementing a BI solution for a UK SME we discuss some potential tools and
strategies that could help SMEs overcome these challenges so as to reap the benefits
of adopting an effective BI solution.
