Power BI versus Tableau / DataSelf
Three Factors that Keep Your BI Out of a Rut
3 critical elements for valuable insights.
How you select your BI system has a lot to do with the benefits you derive from it. My observations in my 17 years of advising mid-sized organizations – plus observations of one other expert in the field – show three critical elements that decide whether new systems will lift you into new, valuable insights or leave you plowing the same old rut.

Data Quality Issues – a BI Friend or Foe?
How dirty data can be BI’s friend.
I’ve seen many Business Intelligence (BI) projects fail because of data quality issues, but are data quality issues really a BI foe?
It’s true that BI shouldn’t be pushed to a broader user base before its data is clean and reliable. Don’t do it! First impression is critical. If data isn’t reliable, users will likely lose trust and the odds of a failed project go through the roof! Read more

Who needs 5,000 KPIs? No one, really!
As of Aug 2017, we offer 5,000+ reports, dashboards, and KPIs for analyzing initiatives such as AP, AR, financials, inventory, PO, sales, opportunities, and support cases. But who needs 5,000 KPIs?
Putting Decision Makers in the BI Driver’s Seat!
The CFO of one of our current clients told me: “In my prior job, it took months of IT validation before I was able to access DataSelf. I then quickly found out major issues by exploring canned KPIs. It was so invaluable! However, many of the KPIs were working even before the validation. So, I lost months flying blind! For my new project, I want access to DataSelf ASAP, so I can decide which KPIs are ready and what validation and custom work is important.”
It was an enlightening perspective! Since then, we focus on putting decision makers in the BI driver’s seat as early as possible! Our out-of-the-box solution can make that happen in a matter of hours. Read more

Inside the Mind Of … Joni Girardi
Joni Girardi, founder and CEO of DataSelf, provider of DataSelf Analytics.
He and his team have been deploying Business Intelligence (BI) in the mid-market for more than 17 years, helping hundreds of organizations.
He launched his venture to help medium-sized businesses get value from their data. His biggest challenge was finding tools that were complete and polished, not underpowered and inflexible.
So he began development of what became DataSelf Analytics. It has since grown to feature a data warehouse, embedded Tableau, and ready-for-work 5,000 reports, dashboards, and KPIs. His years of experience have given him a deep knowledge of data needs among growing medium-sized businesses. Read more
