Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence is all about making the best use of business data to support companies to make informed decisions. Commonly, organisations have a lot of business systems, and they generate data from all different places. Because the data lives in separate systems, the information is commonly used in silos by specific business system users. Business Intelligence helps companies collate data from other systems into a single centralised data store to look at the data holistically.

How Can We Help

Business Intelligence Analysis

Whether your organisation is at an early stage of exploring BI or has built advanced BI practice, we can come in at any stage to assess the maturity level of BI and provide an independent evaluation of where you are, where you want to and what are the options to get you there.

We can help:

  • Assess the current BI maturity level and how the users currently use the data.
  • Define the future state where data can be better used to generate more insight into the business.
  • Design the adequate BI architecture which fits your organisation’s BI needs.

Data Warehouse/Modelling

Commonly,  organisations have many operational systems, such as ERP, CRM, POS etc… When we try to make sense of data, we often need to collate data from different systems, such as sales data from POS systems, inventory from Warehouse Management systems etc… This requires a lot of knowledge of these systems to get the data correctly.

Data Warehousing is a solution that collects data into a centralised storage area and employs a new data modelling that makes the data relationships easy to interpret. Therefore analysing data from a Data Warehouse is much easier.

We can help with:
 
  • Analyse data from the source operational system.
  • Create ETL/ELT pipelines to populate data in the data warehouse. Design data warehouse models, star schema, snowflake etc…

Dashboarding and Reporting

There is always more than one way to present data to the end-users, and there are two main ways the BI platform provides insight to organisations: Dashboarding and Reporting.

Dashboards provide quick insight into what is working or what is not working and display trends over time. Reports are more geared towards providing a more detailed analysis of why things are happening. 

We can help with:

  • Gather requirements from business users and create dashboard/report specifications.
  • Design and create dashboards and reports based on the business’ needs.
