Business Intelligence Solution for SMEs

By making business intelligence available throughout and beyond the organisation, enterprises can empower the user to make better-informed, more timely decisions. Every working day, users of Financial, CRM, MRP, Project Management and Human Resource systems (to name but a few) continue to contribute to an organisation's information assets. These assets for many organisations however, remain one of the greatest untapped sources of potential commercial advantage.

Most decision makers are well aware their organisation could benefit from greater power and flexibility to disseminate information to their personnel and trading partners but are perhaps not aware how it can be achieved. By looking at your information requirements and existing infrastructure, we can assist you to determine what techniques would suit your business best.

Approach & Methodology

The first step is to identify information deficits within the organisation through the involvement of information consumers at all levels. These are then analysed in conjunction with the relevant data sources available. The data sources themselves must be scrutinised in terms of their ability to support the proposed demands in terms of location, content, structure, accessibility and performance. If significant concerns exist here, data warehousing must be considered.

Management Reporting

Concise, detailed management information is crucial to the running of any business however small. Intelligence Solutions can involve core management reports or ad-hoc reporting capability for non-IT users, or more commonly, a combination of both.

OLAP (On-line Analytic Processing)

On-Line Analytic Processing (OLAP) is functionality that allows users to drill-down and slice-and-dice data in 'layers' on screen, to gain progressive insight of trends, anomalies or specific areas of interest. Importantly, this powerful capability allows the user to interact with their data and manipulate tabular and graphical views to suit their immediate demands on an ad-hoc basis.

Knowledge Portals

Most organisations information assets are found within a variety of different data sources and platforms. The Knowledge Portal can provide a unified 'window' to some or all of this information through a common interface, giving a source of knowledge and intelligence for all personnel.

Web Business Intelligence

Web based Business Intelligence, which is sometimes called E-BI, offers the opportunity to extend these powerful capabilities outside the customer's organisation. In this way, information can be provided within open or secured environments to mobile personnel, customers, trading partners or investors across the globe.

Data Mining

Data mining represents sophisticated tools, which offer automatic detection of trends and patterns within data. A multitude of AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithms are employed to gain insight that may be difficult or even impossible to unearth using traditional OLAP techniques.

Broadcasting

Many aspects of Business Intelligence implementations can also be automated to provide periodic broadcasting of reports via various mediums including your personal 'workspace', Intranet or Extranet, email, PDA or wireless device.
