Business Intelligence

The power to see into your business, identify trends, key performance indicators and benchmarks gives you the knowledge to take your business to another level.

After years of data creation, the tools are now becoming available for organisations and businesses of all sizes to analyse and report on the vast amount of information generated by an IT system. Working alongside you to understand what data is available, where it is stored and how you would like it reported, we can provide you with a window into the working of your business like never before. Reporting to managers, owners, clients and suppliers can assist all parties to make informed decisions that will benefit them and your business.

The first step in any business intelligence process is data analysis. This is where all of the data that has been collected is sorted and sifted until only the relevant information remains. This can be done manually, but more often than not it is done using software that specializes in data analysis. 

Data Analysis

Once the relevant information has been extracted from the data, it needs to be reported in a way that makes sense to whoever will be using it. This could be management, shareholders, clients or suppliers. The reports must be clear and concise and they should answer all questions that are asked of them. 

Reporting

One of the most important aspects of business intelligence is being able to identify trends as they happen. These trends can then be acted on before they become a problem for the business. For example, if sales are consistently declining month over month, something needs to be done about it before it’s too late. 

Trend Identification

Businesses need to constantly compare themselves to their competitors in order to stay ahead of the game. This is known as benchmarking, and it is an essential part of business intelligence. By knowing what your competitors are doing, you can make sure that you are always one step ahead.
