Microsoft Business Intelligence Solutions

Business Intelligence Solutions

Business Intelligence is a bit of a corporate buzzword that can be simply summed up as extracting, organising and analysing data in a way that gives you the information you need to make more informed business decisions.

We have been doing this for household name clients for many years - taking data that exists in disparate systems in a variety of different formats, cleansing it, transforming it, centralising it and developing the tools to turn it into meaningful information.

Microsoft Business Intelligence specialists

We specialise in the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform. Projects can include: Data Warehousing projects with SQL Server 2012, including Business Data Warehouse Appliance, Fast Track or Parallel Data Warehouse implementations; data management projects with Master Data Services; Self Service BI rollouts including Business Decision Appliance implementations, SharePoint, Excel 2010 and PowerPivot and Reporting and Visualisation solutions with Sharepoint, Office and SQL Server reporting tools.

Data Warehousing and Data Marts

A central repository for high quality corporate (data warehouse) or departmental (data mart) data will give you an accurate view of the information it represents and form the basis of much of your critical management information.

We deliver high quality, agile data warehouses, with rapid deplyoyment using the very latest in data warehouse best practice and our data integration accelerators. We also use appliance-based solutions for a lower TCO. Find out more

Self Service BI

Typically, businesses change more rapidly than the business processes and systems that underpin them can adapt.  As a result information can be locked away within the fabric of the business preventing important insight and decisions from being made.

Self service BI provides a key to unlocking the real potential of your business information by giving the decision makers themselves the means to extract, transform, analyse and create rich information systems that support informed decision making. Find out more

Reporting and Visualisation

Being able to report on a consolidated and reliable overview of your business will increase the reach of business intelligence.

With our skills in report and dashboard design, we can deliver professional-looking reports and interactive dashboards, and deploy them enterprise-wide with minimal effort. Find out more

Could you be using existing assets?

One of the great benefits of Microsoft Business Intelligence tools is that you can often extract value from existing systems with a relatively small incremental investment.

With BI features built in to the latest versions of SQL Server, SharePoint and Microsoft Office, you may well have a lot of BI firepower in applications that you already own - applications that are already familiar to your people.

Our technical consultants will help you understand how you could use existing assets and identify the most appropriate solution to your information requirements - based on your existing systems, data distribution, priorities and deadlines.

Data Warehousing

Whether it's a departmental data mart, or an enterprise scale corporate data warehouse, ensuring accurate data is available to the right people at the right time is critical to successful decision making.

Managed Self Service BI

Organisations need to be agile; they need data and information today that they didn't need yesterday, and they need to make decisions on new information that they cannot wait for traditional IT development life-cycles to produce.

Managed self-service BI is about giving you the ability to balance agility and control. Users can create reports and analyses themselves, on their own desktops, but data is still visible and controlled by IT teams through a central data repository.

Master Data Management (MDM)

Master Data Management (MDM) provides your entire business with a single, clean and consistent view of your Master Data, eliminating common problems that can occur with this data.

We know Master Data Services inside out - we have even written a book about it!
