Business Intelligence Consultancy

For any business that’s getting up to speed with business intelligence, it pays to have experts on your side who
can lend a helping hand. Our consultants have what it takes.

Figuring out your specific BI needs

Whenever a business first begins to dip a toe into the business intelligence waters, there’s usually a sense of urgency to do as much as possible right away.

If your company is spending a lot of time and money ramping up its use of BI, you’re naturally going to want to see fast results. That’s why many business leaders look for shortcuts or easy “one size fits all” BI plans. What’s the fastest way to get up and running, guaranteed?

Unfortunately, it’s almost never this easy. Deploying enterprise solutions for BI is always a complicated process because the steps involved depend on the specific needs of your people and the resources they have. Before you can map out a BI game plan, you need to take a careful look at your business and answer a few key questions. These include:

• How will you find the data you need to drive your analytics program?
• Who will have access to this data? How will these individuals share it amongst themselves?
• What level of data science proficiency do your key personnel have now? How much do they still need to learn?

When you sit down with one of our consultants, their first objective will be to help you answer basic questions like these. The goal is to listen, identify your needs and device a course of action for BI accordingly.

Maximising your company’s BI investment

Diving into BI is a big step for any business. If you’re taking it, you’re surely only doing so after taking a long pause to examine your organisation’s needs, your finances and how a new BI solution fits into your long-term business model.

For example, if you’re investing in Qlik, that means you’ve spent a lot of money on the solution itself and a great deal of time and energy into getting your employees set up with it. With all this in mind, you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth for that investment.

This is what working with a consultancy is all about – discussing your progress and making sure the investments you’ve made are paying off as expected. There are many different ways to use the Qlik products, including the use of desktop and mobile interfaces designed for both individuals and large enterprises. When used correctly, these tools can yield stunning data discoveries and revolutionise your business, but you want to be sure your employees have a strategy for optimal BI use.

Getting a solid return on investment requires maximising efficiency in the workplace. This means making sure everyone understands the intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces and smart search capabilities that Qlik has to offer. A good consultant can work to reinforce this knowledge, thus assuring your business that your BI efforts will add value to your organisation.
