You have five BI tools. You want two. But you can't cut anything yet
Digital Hive provides the cross-platform usage data that makes consolidation defensible - and the access layer that makes it invisible to users
The consolidation conversation that never closes
The tool count grew over years - one per team, one from an acquisition, one a business unit stood up on its own. Every budget cycle, leadership asks about consolidation
The conversation ends the same way: nobody knows what's being used. Licenses renew. Costs compound
Why the decision never gets made
- Consolidation requires certainty no one has: which reports are used, how often, by whom
- That data lives in five separate admin consoles, in five different formats
- Every platform has a champion. Without usage data, those arguments can't be countered
- The risk of cutting too fast is real. Without evidence, no one will take it
How Digital Hive solves it
Four shifts that turn consolidation from a debate into a decision
Cross-platform usage in one view
Which reports are opened, how often, by whom - across every connected platform
Abandoned content surfaces
Duplicates and unused reports identified and flagged. Platform champions see the same numbers everyone else sees
Evidence replaces politics
Consolidation sequenced on usage data. Content with zero views loses its shield
Phased, invisible execution
The access layer remains as platforms are retired. Users find everything in the same place
What the research confirms
67%+
Of enterprises face active BI sprawl with no cross-platform usage view
Datalogz State of BI Report, 2025
Sprawl isn't an edge case - it's the default state. Most organizations have no cross-platform usage view, which means consolidation decisions default to politics instead of evidence

not years
Usage data making the business case where arguments couldn't for years
Evidence
not politics
