- I would describe business intelligence
as the tip of the spear for any
enterprise or organization looking
for a competitive market advantage,
insights into their organization,
and really to understand how the
organization is doing amongst their own
key performance indicators.
We wanna be able to track how we've been doing
in the past, compare that to how we're doing today,
and understand any gaps or any measurable
differences where we can take advantage
to fine tune and really dial in performance
and hopefully some of those
considerations are actionable.
One of the key perspectives to keep
in business intelligence and analytics
is, well one of them, is being that
analytics and business intelligence,
it's a program not a projects.
So it's something that should never
die in an organization.
One of the things we're seeing
in the market today is that our clients
and customers that are out there
on analytic software are being
burdened by the ongoing support
of their analytics applications,
their data warehouses, and the ancillary
IT investments that surround analytics
within an organization.
And that's a problem
because where the organization
should be focusing on innovation,
and continually improving their analytics
and their market advantage and competitive advantage,
a lot of the the individuals that
support these IT investments, these
analytical investments are spending
a lot of time just keeping the lights on.
From an implementation perspective,
what we're doing here in our analytics practice
is we're helping organizations
both see a strategic vision for their data warehouse
and their business intelligence and analytics,
but we also are capable of implementing
specific software for our clients
to help them basically leverage their software
investments, but also to incorporate
that software in the correct way
using best practices.
We see that as a challenge.
We see that as something where
our analytics practice at Data-Ville
can assist those clients
to ensure and help make sure that
they can focus on the innovation
and focus on getting the internal projects
completed and delivered to their internal customers
on time and with the quality that's deserved.
