Transform your business. The promise of business intelligence (BI) is to convert raw data into business information that drives decisions, increases profitability, and builds a more competitive organization.

By providing easy-to-use, contextualized information, BI lets your people align their decisions with the greater goals and mindshare of your organization. With the right business solutions, information, and tools, every user at every level of your organization has the power to improve and evolve the enterprise. Everyone is an expert in something—and an Ascentium BI engagement will help them transform their insight into formal intelligence that delivers impact.

More and more companies are turning to BI solutions to help their organizations achieve business objectives. In recent research from InformationWeek, nearly 60% of survey respondents say they’ll provide BI tools to more than a quarter of their employees by 2009. Further research from Gartner shows that BI is at the top of the CIO spend list in 2008. Your competition is thinking about BI. It’s little wonder you are, too.

Early on, we offer a “BI Assessment & Roadmap” to help you answer fundamental performance management questions that will identify your organization’s information visibility requirements and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are critical to leading business performance management.

After the assessment, we work closely with your team to define the target solution architecture vision and create a prioritized roadmap for building the BI solutions incrementally. This phased approach ensures your enterprise can solve high value and measurable business challenges while making optimal use of your current infrastructure and identifying and addressing issues early.

Depending on the situation, we will quickly develop a proof-of-concept prototype solution that can help you evaluate the solution architecture alternatives and validate the technical decisions.

Subsequently, we execute each phase of the actual solution development project with our rigorous methodology and deep technological expertise.

And, because we understand that business requirements are a moving target, we deliver our BI solutions within a flexible architecture so they can sustain your evolving business needs.
