Enterprise Reporting – Challenges faced Getting data from different systems and consolidating the same is a

challenging and costly affair Users have to wait for IT to generate the reports and hence decisions are

taken based on old data. Providing information for remote users is a problem in non web based

systems Providing secure and limited access to reports is both difficult and very

resource hungry making dispersion of information challenging Reports out of ERP are not dynamic, user interactivity is poor and widely

used spreadsheets add to the confusion. Compliance is an issue. Once the data in ERP changes it is not possible to

view the report with the same set of data. Demand for more dynamic, user friendly and live reporting with Analytics to

get competitive edge is growing rapidly.

from the data they hold within their repositories. Better visibility of the organization for both frontline managers and
