IBM researcher Hans Peter Luhn is attributed to coining the term Business Intelligence (BI) when he first used it in 1958. Then in 1989, Howard Dresner defined "business intelligence" as a macro term to describe "concepts and methods to improve business decision making by using fact-based support systems..."

When a company implements a Business Intelligence (BI) solution there are many factors to consider. BI vendors try to deliver solutions that have nothing to install or maintain and no hardware or software to purchase in a BI platform that is ready to use, mobile, and affordable. From a user's perspective, companies are looking for dashboard flexibility in their BI solutions,

which is one of the most important factors to consider according to a recent Computer Weekly buyer's guide for BI. Enterprise BI solutions typically follow standard consulting protocol that delivers a static platform to end-users with set metrics that never change. This kind of dashboard is not flexible enough to represent customized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by departments and decision makers within an enterprise.

No matter how cutting-edge a BI application is, ultimately the end-user has to be able to integrate it into their job function and decision making based on their unique requirements. If dashboard metrics are not tied to the work at hand and don't reflect how an individual user affects the bottom line of a company, the entire effort is wasted. Statistics on the web suggest that organizations get value out of their BI implementations only 30% of the time. If that statistic is, in fact true, it is because organizational KPIs that enterprise BI commits to are cumbersome for end-users and require a steep learning curve making users reluctant actually use their BI applications. Aditionally, the rigidity of massive, enterprise BI implementations turns people off, and they demand flexibility within the BI platform to be able to represent and measure variables that are relevant to their immediate function.

There are few cloud-based Business Intelligence models on the market like SiD that enable customizable dashboards and flexibility for the end user. Because one monolithic dashboard doesn't fit all requirements of an individual's performance, an effective BI platform needs to enable users to create customized versions of a dashboard and hand pick metrics that reflect their own success.

The success metrics that you view frequently for business analysis should be integrated on your dashboard with your primary applications and databases, synced with real time metrics and visualized and accessible on any device. Here are some key elements to consider while you are customizing your Software as a Service (SaaS) dashboard to your position.
