Data analytics software is designed to retrieve, analyze, transform, and report on business data and metrics. This software provides organizations with an integrated view of their overall business by combining multiple data sets, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, CRM, HR, Payroll and e-commerce. BI can also be used to identify trends, uncover insights, and make informed business decisions.

-
Standardization: It enforces standardization across financial statements, budgets and reports to ensure consistency and enables comparisons across different periods.
-
Collaboration: It enables teams to collaborate and work simultaneously in a secure and auditable environment. This can improve communication and reduce the risk of data discrepancies.
-
Reporting: It provides advanced reporting capabilities, such as customizable templates and interactive dashboards. This makes it easier to visualize data and identify patterns and trends.
-
