REPORTING

In a world exploding with data, one of the most efficient ways to gain a competitive advantage and make effective decisions is to simply use the data you already collect. You can't do that without a comprehensive reporting solution. Many of our clients have a cadre of staff that can complete ninety percent of their firm's reports but can really benefit from our assistance for a small number of very complex reports. Others have tried building out reporting systems using tools that aren't appropriate for the enterprise and need to convert to a more comprehensive solution. Occasionally we even find customers that wish to outsource all reporting to us. Whatever the case, we have the staff and expertise to offer any level of support you may require.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

Performance Management practice can help you create, track and improve upon the key measures that drive your organization's success. PM solutions can be rapidly implemented as a layer over an existing data warehouse. The ultimate level of PM is realized when organizations are able to tie individual employee performance to performance metrics. Creating a tight integration between employees and your corporate metrics can empower everyone in the organization to know what they need to do to succeed. Wherever you are on the PM continuum, we have the wisdom, the knowledge and the vision to take your PM solution to the next level.

DATAWAREHOUSING

BI Solutions provides end to end reporting solutions for clients both large and small. We have the ability to work within a range of database environments, from multi-terabyte Oracle or Teradata warehouses to client based MS Access databases. We can use a customer’s existing reporting tools or we can start from the ground up and implement a Cognos BI solution.

PROOF OF CONCEPT INITIATIVE

We have instituted a "POC" initiative. After an initial on-site visit we will assess your needs, return to our corporate offices and tailor a demonstration proposal intended to prove our capabilities. If this proposal is agreeable to you, for a nominal fee we will utilize our own personnel, hardware and software environment to develop a proof of concept (POC). The intent of the POC is to share the idea of what is possible in your environment. Our goal is to provide a comfort level with our capabilities and the best soultion possible. If the solution is convincing enough, we can work on a longer term commitment to your firm.
