From Silver Sponsor Baker Tilly

Baker Tilly offers perspective on how business users can now have a conversation with their data and utilize this data to obtain granular information through which to make decisions - with speed and accuracy. Most organizations maintain myriad standard "views" of data; i.e. reports and dashboards. Unfortunately, what we want, rather, what we need, is likely strewn across several of these views. Most business users download data from reports or dashboards to Microsoft Excel or Access and create their own "version" of reality. Excel is easy and useful. Users feel in control of "their" data with Excel. However, this disconnected approach propagates bad habits - such as lack of data governance. A new approach is now not only possible but is necessary. Business users want to have a conversation with their data. Successful IT departments must move beyond simply providing data in a traditional manner. As BI evolves into a more proactive medium, organizations must change how users leverage and maximize data.  https://www.bakertilly.com/insights/having-a-conversation-with-your-data
