Why use BI platforms vs. native analytics?

Business Intelligence Integration Strategy

Tallyfy has deliberately chosen to integrate with existing Business Intelligence (BI) platforms rather than building a limited native analytics solution. This approach provides significant advantages for organizations seeking to maximize their workflow data insights.

Leveraging Specialized Analytics Tools

Instead of developing a limited in-house analytics solution, Tallyfy connects directly with industry-leading BI platforms:

  • Purpose-built functionality - Dedicated BI tools deliver superior visualization capabilities
  • Advanced analytics features - Access to statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and AI insights
  • Continual innovation - Benefit from ongoing development by BI platform specialists
  • Familiar interfaces - Utilize tools your teams already know and understand

Cross-Platform Data Integration

A key advantage of external BI integration is the ability to combine Tallyfy data with information from other business systems:

  • Merge workflow performance with financial metrics
  • Connect process efficiency to customer satisfaction data
  • Integrate task completion rates with resource utilization
  • Combine multiple data sources for comprehensive operational insights

Platform Independence and Flexibility

Tallyfy’s approach to analytics provides maximum flexibility:

  • Platform choice - Select the BI solution that best fits your organization’s needs
  • No vendor lock-in - Change analytics tools without losing access to your process data
  • Customization options - Build dashboards and reports tailored to specific roles and needs
  • Scalability - Grow your analytics capabilities without changing your workflow platform

Data Portability for Future Innovation

Your workflow data has value beyond current analytics applications:

  • Data science accessibility - Provide data scientists direct access to raw process data
  • Machine learning readiness - Train AI models on your workflow patterns and outcomes
  • Open data formats - Standard CSV and SQL interfaces ensure future compatibility
  • Complete data ownership - Maintain full control of your organizational data assets

Resource Optimization

Leverage your existing analytics investments and expertise:

  • Utilize your current BI platform licenses
  • Employ the skills of your existing data analysts and BI specialists
  • Avoid duplicating analytics infrastructure
  • Focus on insights rather than learning new tools

This integration-focused approach ensures you get the best of both worlds: Tallyfy’s powerful workflow management combined with the analytics capabilities of specialized BI platforms.
