Business Intelligence services

We start with a deep dive into your values, vision and markets. We really need a deep understanding of those. Only then we can find out your complete needs. It's a detailed analysis from your USP's and your value proposition. We also investigate your competitors are and how your market will evolve. 

By doing so we identify strengths and opportunities for improvement which will define the scope for an ideal implementation plan. Together we search for your fullest potential to offer the right tools and tracking methods. 

You might have a company vision, values that you embody as a company, but who are the people who are going to execute this strategy, who are the people who are outlining this strategy and most importantly who is thinking along with you? Whether you work top-down or buttom-up to embrace initiatives, we map it out at different levels.

We review your goals and how you want to achieve them, as well as your human resources: how many managers are there at all levels, how are corporate and personal performance indicators mapped and how are they shared, both to the board and to the work floor? 

Making your strategy map visual means that we graphically show logical cause-and-effect connections between different strategic objectives. In this way, we translate the previous analysis in which we described the gap between the future state and the current situation into a strategy map. We link KPIs of different departments, teams and individuals to show the impact on your strategy.

We show the link between future or current initiatives per team and the impact on your vision. Furthermore, we provide you with leading indicators, measures that reflect current behavior and help to understand the future, but also lagging indicators that reflect results based on your goals, and those are not only financially oriented.

Our strategy map which is easily mapped thanks to our tool Spoom shows all analytical axes for each stakeholder based on a tree structure, so all noses are pointing in the same direction with the same goal in mind: a clear vision with defined priorities from which your Roadmap will emerge. 

Based on our analysis, we provide you with your roadmap. This is your own roadmap based on your goals, vision and data available, in addition to our knowledge in data architecture and business strategy consulting. You get to focus on the right KPIs you need to track to achieve your goals.

Too often we still see that companies just track something because they can, or because others do. We will help you track exactly the indicators you need to track to achieve your goals. 

Either our strategy map, 360° balanced scorecard or standard or personalized dashboards will lead you the way in tools that are already available or can be implemented by us. 

As you can see, rolling out the right tool comes only after a profound analysis. This does not take away the importance of such tools. A self-service solution gives the user the possibility of exploiting a powerful and understandable data model for business users, in order to create their own analysis, graphs and tables.

To feed your strategy map and employees with the right data, we turn your data into knowledge. As indicated above, we work with your tools, dashboards and BI tools. We check what already exists, can be improved or needs to be replaced. 

A whole series of questions will answer how you will use business intelligence to your advantage in the future: 

• What operational systems are the data sources?
• Is there an OLAP, DWH, Datamart or Datastore layer?
• With which technology are ETL data flows implemented?
• What documentation exists: Solution design, Bus matrix, Data flow, Data model?
• What reporting and dashboarding tools are in place?
• Which tools directly exploit data for reporting or statistics?
• What are the security rules in place?
• What are the license management policies by technology?

Both the right data, and data visualization (which dashboards for whom and in which tool), and data streaming will be questioned, during which we will strive to find the most cost-efficient implementation tailored to your company and needs.
