Insights

In today's data-driven world, businesses thrive on actionable insights. But the path to those insights can become cluttered with "Business Intelligence (BI) Debt." This hidden liability accumulates as organizations struggle to manage a sprawling ecosystem of reports, dashboards, and metrics. Let's explore the pitfalls of BI debt and how Xplora.ai can help you eliminate it while ensuring ongoing governance.

Imagine a tangled mess of overlapping reports, outdated dashboards, and inconsistent metrics pulled from disparate sources, including Excel. This is BI debt in action. It manifests in several ways:

Duplicate and Overlapping Reports: Teams waste time creating (and maintaining) redundant reports that answer the same question.

Dashboard Proliferation: Uncontrolled self-service BI leads to an explosion of dashboards, many with inconsistent or unreliable data.

Obsolete Reports and Dashboards: Nobody knows what's relevant anymore! Valuable resources are spent sifting through outdated information.

Multiple Tools and Duplicated Database Tables: The more tools (like Excel) and siloed data, the greater the inefficiency and confusion.

The cost of BI debt can be staggering—millions of dollars annually. Here's how it adds up:

Use of Incorrect Reports: Could result in costly business decisions

Analyst and Developer Time: Resources are tied up creating/maintaining duplicates, helping users find the right reports, and responding to confusion.

Wasted Database Workload: Duplicate queries strain databases and slow down performance.

Wasted BI Tool Licenses/Capacity: Unused licenses and oversubscribed tools represent wasted money.
