The BI & Analytics world is ever-evolving with new BI tools entering the market. When an organization senses that a single BI tool is not meeting their expectations, they seek a hybrid model of having multiple BI tools that best fit their needs. Studies say that most organizations leverage an average of 3+ BI tools because there isn’t one tool that does everything. With thousands of reports scattered across the business, it becomes difficult for a BI user to quickly locate a report or a dashboard.

That is where the game-changer concept of a “BI portal“ comes to play. A BI Portal helps access different BI platforms in to one roof and makes it seamless to search, find and use the report scattered across BI platforms.

BI Hub takes this concept one step ahead in the BI Portal market and helps your organization build a personalized look and feel by matching the portal to your company theme using the Theme Customization feature. Let us see how BI Hub can help you “Brand Your Analytics Journey” in a better way.

This blog will help you dive deeper into the personalization feature offered by BI Hub.
