“If you ask the right questions of your data, Business Intelligence provides the tools to obtain powerful answers - on anything from cash flow to strategic predictions.“
Business Intelligence
Discovering
Patterns
Business Intelligence turns information gathered from raw data into actionable insights. It provides reports, dashboards, tables or interactive visualisations to drive understanding about the past and present business journey and reveal trends for the future.
How We See Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence describes a series of analyses and technologies to unlock the power of data. In our view, it builds on Data Management which transforms raw data into well-structured information. On that basis, it evaluates and predicts parameters of business success; it presents results through dashboards and reports; and it empowers users to independently explore data by designing their own analytics. In sum, Business Intelligence enables users to gain insights in order to make better decisions and reach their strategic objectives.
How You Benefit
Research by technology specialists at Vanson Bourne shows that companies put less than 15% of their data to business-relevant use. We enable our clients to increase this share and exploit their data to various ends:
Enhance Data Discovery and Reporting
We created real-time analytics and bespoke dashboards for the trading desk of a large German Landesbank. These interactive tools enable traders to discover and visualise insights about profitability and different risks inherent in their transactions and portfolios.
Empower Sales with Mobile Analytics
We developed analytics for a real estate asset management company to visualise sales insights. That empowered the management with its extensive sales network by speeding up decisions, making progress traceable and providing clearer up-to-date information tailored to mobile devices.
Create Agility with Self-Service Analytics
We set up a self-service BI framework at a leading building society to enable departments to shape their own analytics and deepen insights. As its basis we established a data catalogue, a curated registry of information with a common data language, that provides fast access to high quality data.
Communicate Insights across Countries
Reacting to the growing importance of data and their analytics, we developed communication guidelines for a Business Intelligence Centre of a global reinsurer. We set standards for the conceptual, perceptual and semantic design of dashboards and reports to effectively disseminate data-driven insights.
