- Simplify the product and its dependencies
- In one project, that involved business performance. It has allowed us to determine ROI real time per employee. It allowed us to determine per employee value by calculating return per employee. This measure took a number of factors into consideration.
- Better on the fly reporting with out the added cost of report development
- Provided customer's with faster answers to business questions that can not wait for new reports to be developed. This allows the business to react before is too late.
The Endeca stack is a good solution to solve a plethora of data problems but its value has to merit its cost. Overall, it provides a better solution than most products out there. It requires an initial technical investment to get the solution going but once this is achieved you may not need as many technical people (development) as competing products (e.g Solr) to expand into new solutions. Endeca provides a better user interface than other products, thus making it easier for business user or less technical people to maintain.
