Solutions & Services: Business Intellegence

Business Intelligence (BI) is defined as a combination of systems and methodologies that transform previously unknown or ill-defined information into meaningful facts the organisation can use to plan and monitor organisational performance.

Cognos based upon a sound data warehouse platform such as Netezza will provide structured, aggregated information in a high performance environment.

BCT Group’s expertise in the Cognos™ suite of Products and Business Intelligence architecture has delivered large scale BI and Performance Management solutions to both the Government and Private Sector.

The benefits of a sound business Intelligence platform:

An increase in their agility and responsiveness

  • Spend less time evaluating software; spend more time creating value.
  • Create new reports or modify existing ones quickly and easily.
  • Meet the needs of all your users, regardless of their needs or skill level.
  • Add new capabilities easily for ongoing incremental value.

Reduce total cost of ownership

  • Fewer products to learn and use means greater business effectiveness and lower costs.
  • Fewer products to integrate into your IT environment increases speed and lowers costs.
  • Fewer products to install, maintain, and support reduces costs.

Create a foundation for driving performance

  • Deliver the important single version of the truth necessary for consistent decision-making.
  • Create a common language for key technical and business terms: "catalog" vs. "model" vs. "universe".
  • Communicate what happened and why.
