Based on our experience, we would like to share the following best practices in this area:

• Analytics is a journey and not a destination. You have to keep on optimizing and evolving the existing methods of seeking, consuming, and acting upon data.
• It's going to be rare to find just one solution to all your information needs. Therefore, you must choose from the best-of-breed choices.
• Leverage financial reporting or management reporting for all kinds of financial insights for an enterprise.
• Leverage Excel for all one-time and quick end user-based reporting.
• Leverage Power BI for all interactive visualizations and dashboards.
• Leverage SSRS for printing all your documents and for day-to-day operational needs.
• Leverage Azure Machine Learning for all information actions and predictions using algorithms.

The world of analytics is fascinating, with a number of choices and reasons that may confuse you. Hence, due diligence in selecting the right platform, tool, and fitment is crucial when it comes to informed decision making.
