Business Intelligence

One version of the numbers, available to the people who need them.

Overview

Business intelligence turns operational data into reliable measures and reports. The technical work is in defining metrics once, modelling data so that they are calculated consistently, and delivering them through interfaces suited to each audience.

We focus on the often neglected parts: metric definitions, ownership, refresh reliability and adoption, because a dashboard that nobody trusts has no value.

Problems we help with

  • Dashboards that disagree with each other
  • Long waits for analysts to produce routine reports
  • Spreadsheets as the real reporting system
  • Low adoption of expensive BI tools
