How quickly can I start using BI?

BI can be set up as part of the implementation so that it is already in place for go-live. During implementation, the reporting can be set up to work with the demo environment and can be customized as needed with formatting, additional fields, etc. While reporting can be obtained at the very start after implementation, the intent of BI is to assist in making effective business decisions, so some sort of volume of data should be obtained before using the tool to make those decisions.
