Business Intelligence is about extracting and transforming
data held by systems and databases into clear, useful
information for making faster and better business decisions
and about making it readily available to the people who
need to make those decisions.
To succeed in the competitive and constantly changing
marketplace of today, visibility of information is becoming
more important than ever for making timely decisions,
responding to changing conditions and maintaining competitive
advantage. To be able to improve business processes,
measure progress and make well-informed decisions, businesses
need the ability to essily access and analyse the right
information quickly without having to sift through pages
of data.
Business performance is ultimately improved by measuring
and analysing key performance indicators in order to
manage the internal business processes that drive those
indicators for the purpose of improving efficiency and
achieving business objectives. You can only manage effectively
what you measure and it is important to measure the business
metrics that matter. This is more than just knowing what
happened but being able to compare your business performance
against your internal targets and against industry benchmarks.
Once you know what has happened, you then need to analyse
why it happened. Only then can you take action to either
perpetuate good performance or correct poor performance.
Our integrated Business Intelligence solutions can empower
you to improve your business performance by providing
the visibility for you to measure, analyse, and manage
financial and operational performance at all levels.
They enable you to manage by exception by providing early
visibility of good or bad performance in your operations
which gives you the opportunity to take appropriate action.
We can customise a Business Intelligence solution to
meet your specific requirements. Our solutions can access
data from almost any system. The only requirement is
that the database is SQL compliant and has an ODBC driver
available. The ability to access data from multiple systems
can provide you with an intergated view of your whole
business even if you use a number of unconnected software
systems. Our solutions can include any of the following:
Customised Reports - can display information in the format
you require and can include graphs and graphics. Reports
can be viewed on the screen, printed or emailed.
Analysis Screens - are pivot-style screens that enable
you to interrogate data by sorting, filtering and grouping
it in various ways. These reports can include headers
and footers and the ability to interactively expand and
collapse detail-level data. The drag and drop control
of data dimensions gives you the flexibility to explore
information interactively.
Graphical Query - presents you with a graphical overview
of data to give you a big picture view. This enables
you to spot good or bad performance and then enables
you to interactively drill down through the data to explore
and analyse more detailed information. This style of
analysis enables you to uncover and understand trends
which may be hidden in the data. This capability is important
to providing decision makers with the appropriate level
of information to answer specific business questions.
KPI Alerts - enable you to quickly and graphically monitor
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by actual performance
vs internal standards and industry benchmarks. The coloured
Dasboards provide quick visual information about the
health of your business and immediatley identify KPIs
that have fallen outside of your parameters. You can
interactively drill down into a KPI Alert by simply clicking
on the Dashboard to view detailed information and analyse
trends and performance. The system can email an alert
you of KPIs that have fallen outside your parameters.
Scheduling - enables our Business Intelligence solutions
to run automatically at specified times or frequencies.
Reports can be emailed at specified times or frequencies,
or whenever business metrics fall outside of predefined
parameters.
Data Warehousing - can collect data from multiple systems
and store it in one place for analysis. Data can be collected
from your ERP system, CRM system, Knowledge Database,
spreadsheets and Legacy Systems etc and collated to suit
your requirements. |
