Business IntelligenceImproving your decisions through fact-based intelligence is vital for the future of businesses. The days of endlessly scrolling down spreadsheets, staring at data and eventually succumbing to analysis paralysis are over, moving to more concrete, visual templates that provide the overview you readily need.
Using MicroStrategy's BI platform, Wesley Associates brings this visibility to you to optimize your decision making process.
We provide:
- Data cleansing - extrapolating the data that makes sense to you or cleaning for EDIs.
- Data mining/benchmarking - Isolate areas of underachievement for improvement.
- OLAP (Online analytical processing) - Query large datasets with multiple parameters
- Reporting - Visual representations of your data using Dashboards (sample below), heat maps and charts that are interactive. With one click, you can easily view the landscape of the next item in the reporting chain.
- Accessibility - As with our WEScan web reporting, all MicroStrategy based analysis can be viewed on-line by anyone in your organization, anywhere (we can also provide different levels of access by user groups).
The future of business intelligence: A 2009 Gartner paper predicted these developments in the business intelligence market.
- Because
of lack of information, processes, and tools, through 2012, more than 35 percent
of the top 5,000 global companies will regularly fail to make insightful decisions
about significant changes in their business and markets.
- By 2012,
business units will control at least 40 percent of the total budget for business
intelligence.
- By 2010, 20 percent of organizations will have an industry-specific
analytic application delivered via software as a service as a standard component
of their business intelligence portfolio.
- In 2009, collaborative
decision making emerged as a new product category that combines social software
with business intelligence platform capabilities.
- By 2012, one-third
of analytic applications applied to business processes will be delivered through
coarse-grained application mashups.
