Business Intelligence

The objective of all business intelligence projects is to give the organisation the necessary information to make the most appropriate strategic and operational decisions.

The key outcome of any business intelligence project is that any person with responsibility or decision-making capacity in an organisation has all the appropriate, precise, relevant information for making critical decisions for the organisation.

Analytics is one of the critical points of any business intelligence project. Understanding the market and the behaviour of its customers, being able to anticipate the evolution of the market, it's possible shifts – are all aspects of data analysis that will allow an organisation to change its behaviour and adapt to the requirements and needs of the market, thereby gaining a competitive advantage in the market.

To achieve the business intelligence project objectives and outcomes, it is necessary to follow a series of well-defined stages, each one with its specific objectives and procedure.

First of all, the project's strategic objective must be identified from the outset. The most relevant information for the decision-making process within the management team must be obtained. The specific analysis must be completed, and the scope approved.

The business intelligence project must be understood and agreed to by the company's executive management, including the company's top-level decision-makers.  Plus, the most critical business questions and problems to be solved.

These projects also require cooperation between various organisation processes, technologies, objectives, and data while contributing to set business goals defined in a detailed business intelligence strategy.

Our Business Intelligence Approach

• The analysis of the current and future requirements is the initial stage. There is an analysis of the organisation's present and future requirements.
•  We need to determine what concrete decisions they want to take and what information is required for the analysis.
•  We define the project requirements and scope.

• It is important to keep in mind the objectives and requirements, the specific methodology, and the and the business intelligence tools to maximise the return on investment.
•  Business processes may need to be re-engineered as a result of findings during the discovery or prototyping activities.

• The necessary infrastructure and resources to cover the chosen methodology for data analysis, together with the deadlines, should be defined in a detailed and straightforward manner.

• The next stage consists of creating and presenting the suite of reports, dashboard flowcharts, and infographics in a highly visual, clear, and schematic format.
• Poor presentation is one of the reasons that very well-executed BI programs can lose creditability.
• Business users should be able to access the right information at the right time based on their role in the organisation. The execution of a BI process is essential to deliver business outcomes.

• The senior leadership team can only take full advantage of this information if the people managing the process received adequate training and technical support.
