The application directly discusses the importance of Algo trading and gives a short examination of the bitcoin era. Before we share our Bitcoin Era Review, we have some key points of introduction in regards to automated trading. This is because we want you to keep an open mind while going through the topic and take this with a grain of salt and make your mind about it

whatAlgo trading is? You may already be well acquainted with this concept if you have done some research, but it is a short overview for those who are new to the subject. Algorithmic trading or Algo Trading for short is also called automated trading.

It is an innovative trading technique that uses a pc application that follows a described set of instructions known as rules to place a trade.

In theory, the trade can generate profits at a speed and frequency; this is not possible for a human dealer because it runs those algorithms or commands to acquire a specific output. It can purchase and promote indicators acquired via means of this system and primarily based totally on those indicators; the orders are located and executed.

So What Does All The Trading Adds To The Game

Some of the trading’s key pros are high speed, more accuracy, less human intervention, improved order entry and exit speed diversification, and more discipline and consistency.

You get from all this because another trading is an effective trading method used by many who want to up their game. It has various advantages over other traditional methods of manual trading.

This is due to the elimination of emotions usually involved with manual trading. Haste and nervousness are all human factors that could easily manifest during a moment of split-second decision making. They can make incorrect decisions affected by creed,such as fear of losing or missing out.

Of course, computers don’t feel they only execute orders predefined and given to them by the programmers, so their decisions are much more accurate and decisive.

The Bitcoin era is an excellent case example of these programs, also known as trading robots. Not long after its new services launch, it earned many users and enthusiasts’ support and approval.

This means that their rates rise in full sharply over time, which is a major plus if you know how to analyze them to turn them to your benefit or result in you losing a lot of money if you are not well informed on the topic.

The Bitcoin era also had its due share of scepticism. This is risky business; it gives you that you have to do your own research before deciding to go on with this endeavour patience is a victory, they say, and the people certainly didn’t have what it takes to make money trading cryptocurrencies robots are here to assist us but not unless we can help them do their job effectively ourselves.

How To Stay On Top Of Your Game As A Single Working Mum

0

Mothers, probably more than any other people in the world, are the ones who seem to demand almost unfairly of themselves, the ones who reach for superhuman heights in the many roles they play as the hours swiftly whoosh by and one day simply melts into another. Only to begin it all over again.

So how do you, especially a single working mum, stay on top of your game? We’re here to help.

Get some rest

This may be an obvious answer, and not one that you may want to hear at all (because rest is almost impossible, right?), but unless you really are some kind of otherworldly superhuman, you absolutely need to rest to function at your best.

And by rest, we mean sleep. A good night’s rest allows both your body and your mind to recharge. When you’re well rested you’re the one who can think on her feet with brilliant clarity, the one who can seemingly snatch ideas out of thin air, and who can be the calm of the storm with all the energy in the world.

So instead of staying up late with a glass of wine and a movie for some much needed ‘me time’, book yourself straight into bed and under the duvet for the much more healing and nurturing gift of sleep.

And if that feels like a far-off dream, do whatever it takes to get your sleep wherever you can. Outsource your laundry if you have to and get in a power nap instead. You’ll quickly find that the benefits of even just a snatch of rest can be amazing.

Find a virtual assistant

There’s nothing that can change your life quite so much as a virtual assistant. For this we love AVirtual. An award-winning virtual assistant service, they can connect you with an assistant who matches the way you work … not just in your business role, but in your home environment too. 

As a mother you may be hesitant to delegate at first, but as soon as you discover the wonders of time freed by another equally competent individual, you’ll never look back. 

From calendar management to social media management and even managing household bills and all those heaps of admin activities that devour your precious time, you’ll be surprised at how those tasks can so easily be delegated. More than that, a virtual assistant worth their salt will have a whole new set of skills for you to tap into, making you the one who shines at the end of the day.

Perhaps, in the 21st century, behind every successful woman there is a virtual assistant.

Be present

This one may take a little practice. By now you’re quite adept at wearing all the different hats that a single working mom finds she has to wear, but all those hats inevitably create a breeding ground for an unproductively busy mind. 

You might be playing with your children while you’re silently brainstorming the next session with your clients, or find yourself stressing about what to cook for your young and fussy eaters while you’re missing the answer to the question you just asked your boss. It’s a habit that doesn’t serve you or anyone else in your life.

There is an amazing power in utterly dedicating yourself to the moment. When there is only you and the person in front of you, the ‘million other things’ you have to do melt away, and you give yourself the space to bring every wonderful part of your best self into that moment.

So when you’re with your children, really be with your children. When you’re attending a conference, listen with every fibre of your being. Be completely there. You’ll notice the benefits immediately! And the more your practice, the more natural it will become. Zen Habits is a wonderful place to start your journey into being more present.

Forgive yourself for not being perfect

We’ll start where we began: you’re not really a superhero. And that’s okay. You’re a single working mother doing her best, and whether or not you may judge this day or that day as a failure or a success, be kind and gentle towards yourself and forgive yourself for not being perfect.

When you’re not actively forgiving yourself for not hitting your (probably unrealistically high) self-imposed daily targets, you’re filling your personal space with emotions that only serve to muddy the waters and ultimately hold you back from shining as your truest self.

Bestselling author (and mother) Brené Brown says perfectionism is in fact a 20-ton shield and she breaks it down for us in this blissfully short snippet from Oprah’s Lifeclass.

So instead, give yourself a little hug for striving for excellence today, no matter how the day turned out, and reward yourself with a well-deserved early night to bed!

How Open Banking is helping to make better lending decisions

0

Oakbrook Finance, parent company of Likely Loans, has become the first UK lender to offer a fully automated Open Banking lending decision via a third-party aggregator. Teaming up with a leading data analytics provider, Oakbrook Finance is using open banking data to improve lending decisions through a better understanding of a customer’s financial circumstances.

What’s Open Banking?

Open Banking is a secure way for authorised providers like Likely Loans to access your bank transaction data including spending habits, regular payments and income, all with your permission. This cutting-edge technology is designed to encourage and allow competition and innovation to financial services leading to more accurate lending decisions. Many budgeting apps and spending trackers already use Open Banking. 

What Are the Benefits?

When applying for a Likely Loan, applicants can consent to share their up-to-date bank transaction data using Open Banking. In addition to regular credit bureau data, Likely Loans use this data to create a richer, more detailed profile of consumers and their application.

There are many reasons why someone might not have a perfect credit history, this could include those on zero-hour contracts, and the young, straight out of education. Sometimes these applicants may find it more difficult to get accepted for credit if the lender is looking at historical credit bureau data in isolation. Open Banking means that lenders can access a more accurate view of your personal circumstances.

What Is Oakbrook Finance Doing?

Open Banking means Oakbrook Finance can offer personalised loans that wouldn’t have been possible previously.Oakbrook CEO Luke Enock explains: “Our vision is to change lending for the better, and a key component of that is going to come through the accelerated adoption of Open Banking solutions across different channels.

Conclusion

Open Banking may just be the future of the financial industry, and the world can expect more and more innovative products to use this technology going forward.

Changing how we Work from Home by Changing Home

0

2020, and most likely 2021, will be a fascinating period to study in the not too distant future. I’m not talking about the news or what history will say about this last year and change, but for those who study sociology, the housing market, and human behaviour, it is going to be incredibly interesting. With most of us are now cooped up indoors to work, rest and play, our view of work is changing. My thoughts stem from one small but mighty shift that you may be experiencing right now while reading this; working from home.

To say that the regular working environment is gone forever may feel like grasping at straws. Still, the truth is that with so many businesses now settled into a system of remote working, even when things have passed and the majority of people are vaccinated, I am struggling to see a complete return to the norm in how we collectively approach the average working day. For those now working from their kitchen table or spare room reading this, can you even imagine getting up every weekday morning for a lengthy commute when the alternative is a bit of yoga, brewing a good cup of coffee, and listening to your favourite music before clocking in?

With The Guardian reporting that the percentage of people in the UK exclusively working from home is sitting around 25%, and the figure holding steady for the time being, there are going to be some unique knock-on effects for how we live and work. I want to take a quick look through some of those ideas, and how the ways we live are going to shift without anyone really taking notice.

How many bedrooms? No! How many offices!

The property market has been fascinating to watch this last year, with the Stamp Duty holiday and mortgage rates making things more competitive than they should for a market which was supposed to be quite dormant. One can only assume that many first-time buyers making the decision couldn’t hack living with their parents under one roof anymore.

One of the immediate effects of home working is now cropping up more frequently on property sites. It used to be that you would be looking for a home with the right number of bedrooms and working backwards from there. Now though, many estate agents are ditching the idyllic three-bed for a one or two bed with one room now acting as dedicated office space. Those looking to move into new homes are looking to free themselves from hunching over the dining room table or have to use a bunch of books as a makeshift laptop holder in the spare room.

You only have to look at Google Trends to see that the popularity in “home office furniture” didn’t just peak when the first lockdown was announced and then flatten out. It has increased in popularity over time. People now want to live somewhere where they have dedicated working space instead of carving out a corner of the room. It highlights a changing attitude, which gets even more interesting when looking at how big cities are handling the shift.

Living it up with all the mod-cons

I don’t know about you, but I had a love/hate relationship with commuting. I was in the lucky position of being close enough to the office that I could leisurely walk while listening to podcasts on dry days, and quickly nip on any passing bus on those miserable mornings where the sky is as grey as can be.  For the vast majority of people, commuting has been something akin to a necessary evil. With the TUC discovering last year that the average commute to work in the UK was 59 minutes each way every day, when you get your calculator out and start totting it up, you’re looking at either a generous amount of time to listen to podcasts, or hours wasted.

So what are some cities like London doing in the absence of commuters to make people want to stick around? Well, it requires a little out the box thinking and understanding that people want something more while everything else is closed.

There’s a very unique example of this happening right in the middle of London’s Canary Wharf, which I feel may soon become a common theme in letting. Take a look here at this two-bedroom apartment from Vertus. It looks like a lovely place to live in an area of London which is becoming more residential. But what makes it so special? It is already fully equipped with mod-cons but goes way beyond that to offer tenants a roof terrace, private bar, screening room, garden and private dining room.

For those who are clocking out at 5 pm from the kitchen table, and can only go as far as the back gate to move around, additional services like these will make people want to live there. I miss the cinema just as much as anyone else, so imagine what it must feel like to say “ok, work is done, I may as well just book a slot in the cinema downstairs or do a quick workout up on the roof terrace”.

The desirability of access to services when renting will only get more desirable when you remember what I said earlier; people spend too long commuting. Apartments like these could see people opt to live in the city closer to work, and why would they do that…

Flexibility above all else

Even though your part of the world may be in “lockdown”, people still want some control over how their day can go. Examples like I’ve mentioned above are only going to shift how we look at buying, selling, and renting accommodation in the near future. After the stamp duty holiday is over, and businesses start to lean on asking staff whether they think remote life is working for them (expect office downsizing, which is another story for another day), the average person will look to changing their home and living space to suit their needs.

I’m not saying it will happen overnight, but when you’re looking at a house or flat in the future, don’t be surprised if the agent declares that “the home office is ideally suited for peace and quiet”.

Then again, I am writing this from my kitchen table, so what do I know?

Five Most Common Types of Insurance Fraud

0

The insurance industry is enormous. It consists of over 7,000 individual companies, and around $1 trillion premiums are cumulatively accumulated each year. Nevertheless, whenever such great streams of money are involved, there is almost always plenty of fraudulent activity.

Most regular consumers might not be aware of insurance fraud. However, insurance fraud is the second biggest target for fraudsters after banking fraud, costing over $40 billion annually. You might be thinking that insurance fraud does not concern you directly, unless, of course, if it happens to you one day. But here’s where you’re wrong, as insurance fraud is predicted to cost American families around $400 to $700 each year in increased premiums.

With that in mind, here are the five most frequent types of insurance fraud to keep you informed:

  1. Insurance company fraud

Insurance fraud can be committed by both policy holders and insurance companies. In the instance of insurance company fraud, policyholders become the victim of fraudulent activities, such as premium diversion and fee churning.

Premium diversion occurs when insurance agents secretly pocket premiums instead of declaring them to the agency. All’s good when nothing happens to the policyholder. But if an accident occurs, there will be no funds for reimbursement. So, the victim will not only be in an accident but will also have to pay out of their own pocket for any damages. Imagine paying monthly premiums to find out that you don’t even have an insurance policy! 

The key takeaway is:

Always vet your insurance agents before agreeing to anything or making any payments.

  1. Falsifying claims

Falsifying claims is the most common type of insurance fraud. In order to receive an early payout, dishonest policyholders take to creating false claims, such as slip and fall claims. In fact, some policyholders go to great lengths to make the whole scenario look believable.

  1. Disaster fraud

When a disaster strikes, all hell breaks loose, and insurance companies become extremely busy processing claims. For fraudsters, this is the perfect opportunity to falsify a payout, as policyholders can submit claims that will be approved and paid without further investigation. Take Hurricane Katrina, for instance, where an estimated $6 billion of government funding was said to have actually gone towards insurance fraud.

  1. Faking death

In the most extreme of extremes, some fraudsters become even more creative and fake their own death. As we all know, life insurance policies, in most cases, offer a substantial payout. Seeing the dollar signs invokes the green-eyed monster to come up with the ultimate scenario.

  1. Forgery and identity theft

This type of insurance fraud is more commonly seen with health insurance. It involves individuals using other people’s sensitive information to make false insurance claims for legitimate treatments. The remainder is pocketed as cash.

One common method is by stealing elderly citizens’ identities to purchase pricey medical equipment. The victim’s insurance pays for it. In turn, the scammers re-sell this equipment for a quick buck. Victims of this usually face increased premiums with no idea why.

Preventing insurance fraud for consumers

Unfortunately, there is no one victim of insurance fraud. From policyholders to insurance companies and even the government, fraudulent activities can affect everyone. Thus, it is also our collective responsibility to take insurance fraud seriously and take careful measures when it comes to tackling this problem.

To avoid becoming a victim of insurance fraud, first, you should stay informed so that you remain one step ahead of trouble at all times. Insurance has become a necessity for us. However, you have the ability to customize your insurance plans according to your needs. Avoid dishonest agents who might upsell complicated policies.

Second, know your policy. You will receive a set of documents, including a copy of your policy. Go through it, get to know it, and ask around if you have any questions or notice any discrepancies.

Third, know your insurance agents. Spend some time to research potential insurance agencies and get to know the agents who will be assigned to you. Agents are the ones who will be there should anything happen, and you want to find out how to go about filing your claim. At the very least, you want someone who is communicative and is there for you when you need them.

If we let insurance fraud continuously get out of hand, imagine just how high premiums might become in a few years’ time!

Understanding the World of Credit

0

Being an entrepreneur has many learning curves, from fun to financial. We are here to give you the lowdown on the tricky world of credit.

What is the World of Credit?

Your credit score is the number that credit bureaus give you. The higher the score the more eligible you are for credit or ‘creditworthy’. Credit companies look at your previous finances, what you have paid for and repayments you might have missed. This enables them to decide your score. If you have a high personal credit score you are more likely to be allowed to take out a loan or a credit card.  

You can also easily check your business’ credit score. This is important, if your business is a registered company, it will have independent finances. This means an independent credit score. Many credit companies, banks and loan companies have a lot of help out there to deal with business credit.

How Can it Affect You?

The world of credit can feel a little bit like a minefield, especially if you are just starting out in business. It is important to always separate your finances, personal and business, even if you are a sole trader. This makes submitting your taxes far easier and can highlight your taxable deductions. It also means that your personal credit score does not get affected if you take out business loans or have a business credit card.

If you take out a business loan, it does not affect your personal credit rating. There are many out there that offer a lot more money up-front and longer repayment schedules.

If you are a sole trader, it can be difficult to get a business loan. It is not impossible, but sole traders are often deemed as ‘high risk’. You can get personal loans, which are allowed to be used within your business. Some lenders don’t like this. They can legally ask for you to pay back the entire personal loan if they find you are using it for business purposes. You must be open and honest with the loan providers about how you intend to use the loan money. Some will be fine with you using it for your business, so shop around.

Getting short term loans from a UK direct lender can be an option if your business’ credit score is poor. These types of loans are only designed to be used in an emergency, when the expense is unavoidable and cannot wait. You would have to take them on personally rather than as a business, so it does entail a higher risk should you be unable to pay them back. You should always check the annual percentage rate (APR) before going ahead with any loan.

How Can Finances be Managed?

Managing your finances is the major step towards benefiting from the world of credit. There are many applications out now that can really help entrepreneurs build their credit score and observe their finances through detailed reports and helpful advice.

If you build your business credit score and are always careful to be certain you can pay back loans. The world of credit can be a positive place. With new helpful software coming available each day it is modernizing the credit world and making managing it much easier.

Erectile Dysfunction

It is a disorder in which the patient cannot get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. If erectile dysfunction occurs from time to time, it is not a cause of concern. If it occurs regularly then it can cause stress, affect the self-confidence of an individual, and relationship problems to occur. It can also be a sign of some underlying health condition and can also contribute to heart disease.

Symptoms

The most obvious symptoms of erectile dysfunction include problems in getting and keeping an erection. 

Causes

Keeping and getting an erection is a complex process that involves the brain, emotions, nerves, hormones and blood vessels also. Malfunctioning of any of these leads to erectile dysfunction. Stress and the mental health of an individual play an important role in getting and keeping an erection firm. Erectile dysfunction is also caused by certain physical issues, such as:

  • Low testosterone levels
  • Heart disease
  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • Obesity
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Sleep disorder
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Treatment of prostate cancer
  • Alcohol Abuse

Side Effect:

People using Sildenafil have not shown any major side effects. It has more benefits as compared to the risk of side effects.

The common side effects include the likes of headache, stomach upset, blurred vision, dizziness. Stress-related to problematic sexual activity may put extra strain on the heart if the patient is already suffering from a heart problem.

Precaution:

Before using this medicine, the patient should tell the doctor if he has any heart problems. If the patient has survived a heart attack recently then he should avoid using sildenafil.

Patients with low blood pressure or with a history of painful erection should tell the doctor before using sildenafil.

Sildenafil is contraindicated with nitrates. It can cause a severe drop in blood pressure if used with nitrates. It should never be used with any medication indicated to treat heart attack or angina pain.

Storage:

The medication should be stored at room temperature away from moisture and light.

Prevention

Erectile dysfunction can be prevented by avoiding the use of alcohol. Reducing weight also reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction. Regular exercise is also recommended. Health experts have suggested walking, eating healthy and paying attention to vascular health as primary goals for treating erectile problems. 

How to Become an Editor | Step-by-Step Guide

0

If you have great writing skills, a creative mind, sharp eyes, patience, and the ability to work with multiple voices, you should think about making a career in editing. The main goal of an editor is to transform someone’s writing into its best possible version. They work to refine the author’s voice, ensure that the audience will understand the content and the purpose of the piece will be achieved.

However, particular specifics of an editor’s job vary depending on the type of editing. For example, a developmental editor must check the “big picture” and adjust the narrative as well as overall style, while a copy editor corrects spelling and grammar mistakes as well as fixes small inconsistencies.

If you are sure that editing is a perfect career choice for you, take the following steps:

  1. Develop a reading habit

Probably, the most important stage of preparation for an editor’s career is reading. Only avid readers can become good professionals in this field. Particularly, it’s important to read a lot in your intended specialty. For example, if you want to make a career as a literary fiction editor, focus on novels and short story collections; but if you see yourself being a lifestyle magazine editor, keep up with the latest topics, and trends in Vogue magazine. However, if you haven’t decided what type of specialty you want to pursue, it’s not a problem. Your aim at this stage is to sharpen your editorial senses and get a deeper understanding of what makes good writing. While reading, you can highlight great elements of work and replicate them in your own projects.

  • Earn a degree

The minimum requirement to become an expert in editing is a bachelor’s degree. It’s almost impossible to obtain a position in a top company with skill alone because this professional field is flooded with people willing to get a job. Therefore, you should pursue a degree in journalism, English, or communications. While studying, try to tailor your bachelor’s to editing by choosing relevant modules, like composition, literary critique, and proofreading. This way, you’ll be able to build up your required skill set and boost your job prospects. Note, your degree also proves to potential employers that you are smart, hard-working, and dedicated. So if you want to demonstrate your diligence, you can do a master’s degree or take an additional course.

  • Take an internship at essay editing services

Once you’re done with your degree, it’s time to get some professional practice. Probably, the easiest way to start working as an editor is to find an internship program. Although an internship doesn’t offer high payment, it’s a good chance to get training. Almost every student turns to online writing services as he/she thinks ‘they can help editing my essay and boost my grades’, so employees at such services always have a steady stream of work to complete. This can be very beneficial for you as you can learn to apply your knowledge, master skills, and grow your portfolio. This way you can establish yourself as an editor and get your first real job later.

  • Choose a niche

After trying different types of editing work during your internship, pick a niche where your natural talents and skills lie. Think about what kind of work you enjoy doing moat and consider finding a related position. You can decide to be a book editor who works on full-length manuscripts or you can obtain a position at a news agency if you want to deal with short publications. Another option could be academic editing, which means that you have to work on research papers, essays, theses, and dissertations of different lengths. In case you have some basic knowledge of how to apply search engine optimization tactics, you can become a web editor and work with content for online platforms. As you see, there are enough different opportunities for editors depending on interests and abilities, which makes this occupation so appealing.

  • Get hired

The next step after getting some general experience and defining the most suitable niche is getting the job you want. Search for vacancies on the web or through networking and make a list of positions to apply for. Then create a resume that will fit the desired positions and send it together with your portfolio. After you get invitations to the interview, get prepared for them in advance. This is a culmination of all your efforts as you need to persuade an employer that you deserve to be hired. So do your best and get an editing job you’ve dreamed about!

Final thoughts

Detail-oriented people that enjoy tailoring content can be excellent editors. If you are one of them, follow the five steps listed in the article and apply your talents in the editing field. Remember that this occupation is both interesting and highly paid if you are a real professional.

How Brands Use Business Intelligence to Grow

0

Digital solutions and data are among the most important resources that any business has. As legacy systems fall out of favor, and more businesses continue to embrace digital transformations, these businesses have more opportunities to leverage data to their advantage. In other words, advancements in business intelligence (BI) are making it easier than ever for companies to grow.

What is business intelligence? BI refers to all of the apps, tools, and practices that a business uses to improve its decision making and optimize performance. Businesses of all kinds and sizes need to be well informed when making alterations to the business processes, and for this to be a reality, they need the most accurate and current information possible. Business intelligence solutions gather this data, and they can produce summaries or even interactive visualizations to give business leaders and shareholders an “at a glance” understanding of what’s going on. Here are just some of the advantages of using BI platforms and how they can help your business grow.

Learn what really drives your revenue.

Every business has a target audience, but there are always ways to reach them more effectively. You may even be surprised to find out that a significant portion of your revenue comes from customers outside of your intended audience. Business intelligence lets you pin down exactly where your profits are coming from and let you figure out what issues need to be addressed to increase them further.

Create better marketing campaigns.

No business succeeds without effective marketing, and a marketing information system (MIS) can help you use your market research to the fullest. In fact, an MIS is often combined with a market information research system (MRIS) to automate the research process instead of having to wait for manual researchers. An MRIS pulls data from your business, public information about competitors, and data from government and financial reports, and it produces summaries of all relevant information.

Your MIS uses a combination of this market research and internal data as well as data from your specific industry and data from government databases to produce reports that are sent to your marketing team. This system keeps your marketing team informed constantly, so they can determine the best approach. Best of all, the data collected from these systems is yours to keep, and you can use trends you’ve uncovered to influence future decisions. Video marketing is also efficient in bringing more traffic to businesses. Using a video animation maker to create a video animation to market your brand can help grab people’s attention to check your brand products. 

Use more effective inventory tracking.

Customers expect convenience in all areas these days, and that includes getting their packages quickly. Part of proper BI is staying informed with inventory management software. This goes well beyond just knowing what you have in stock. Advanced inventory management can also inform you of what your suppliers have in stock and where shipments are located. This way, you can judge how long, on average, it takes your shipments to reach your customers and determine if the process needs to be sped up to ensure customer satisfaction.

Take advantage of easy data analytics.

Without a business intelligence platform, it’s likely that your researchers and tech team would have to create unique code for any data visualizations. With a BI platform, end-users can instantly create data visualization and get an easy understanding of what you’ve been researching. This type of interactive reporting allows for easy filtering of results during meetings with business leaders and shareholders, and data can even be compared to present KPIs to determine how efficient your processes actually are.

Utilize self-service data exploration.

You can also create custom reports about your business that aren’t derived from any single application or collection of applications. You have control over exactly where you collect your data from and how you receive the results. You can define layers of your report and use a graphical interface to build reports on demand. These custom reports can grant you even deeper insights into your business than the other options.

These are just some of the biggest advantages of using business intelligence platforms. Every business is unique, and you can likely find even more ways to derive insights and improve your processes.
