Business Reports

As part of your job, you are likely to make a number of business reports and also analyze

them. Can you briefly tell us how you make and analyze them?

The information supplied in a business report should help users who need to make decisions about a company. To make good decisions, we need to unite the business information across every system, department, and location to give a consistent view. This ensures better, coordinated decisions through the enterprise. A good report allows topics of importance to be separated from other generic data.

To present a good report, we need to understand the factors impacting the business. Key performance indicators should be easily sorted, filtered, graphed, and drilled down to fully understandable form, which will help in analyzing the business factors properly and convey the important message quickly.
