Business Intelligence - Information and Insight

DateFriday, July 15, 2011 at 13:12

Business Intelligence is a broad term which covers reporting, analytics, dashboarding, scorecarding and more. Historically Business Intelligence has offered the promise of everyone having organisational information at their fingertips for day-to-day decision-making. Unfortunately many vendors break this promise and in many organisations this promise remains unfulfilled.

Analysts point to the transformational impact of Business Intelligence, with Gartner stating that "while ERP helps you do things better, BI helps you do better things".

Manigent works with management teams to support their organisations as they drive forward Business Intelligence agenda - whether that is a traditional BI agenda, a pervasive BI agenda or an Analytics agenda. We work with clients to develop Business Intelligence processes and capabilities supported by Microsoft technologies. Our focus is on developing capabilities in five key areas:

Manage – the capability to balance desired performance against acceptable levels of risk.

Align – the capability to understand which strategic activities most effectively drive performance and mitigate risk.

Monitor – the capability to understand what current and past levels of performance and risk are.

Analyse – the capability to understand why performance and risk are at current levels.

Plan – the capability to model and stress-test future levels of performance and risk. 

Key benefits of Business Intelligence

  • Drive up productivity by moving decision-making to the 'coal-face' decision-makers.
