Starting Simple: System of Record Reporting

10/19/24 • 29 min

Episode 2 of 6 in our Data Architecture series.
Like many things, data architectures can range from simple to highly complex.
In this episode, Paul and Alex explain what "simple" means when building a reporting and analytics solution for your business.
The advancement of business intelligence (BI) tools make system of record (SOR) reporting much more feasible than in the past. You can connect multiple systems to a front-end presentation layer tool. But at some point in your growth you will find that you can't get away with this any longer.
However, it may be worth it to start with a simple architecture that delivers a quick win for your organization, even if you know this system may only be sufficient for a year or two. Your organization can see the value of your solution and grow from there.
Tune in as we dive into system-of-record reporting and how it can give you a quick advantage.
