Operational & ERP Systems

Our depth and breadth of experience working with a variety of transactional systems that are used to run the day-to-day operations of an organization allows the team to draw on core business concepts during analysis.  Knowledge of specific back office applications centered on Finance, Manufacturing, Sales, Customer Service, and HealthCare is critical to rounding out our team for effective delivery of Business Intelligence services. Technology focus areas include:

• PeopleSoft
• Movex
• JDEdwards
• PowerMHS
• FACETS 

Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence often refers to answering the age-old question, “How has my business performed?” and uses this historical trending and analysis to predict where the business is going.  Our Business Intelligence team uses tools to provide insight into the information assets of an organization through reporting, business queries, analysis (OLAP), dashboards, visualizations, mobile technologies, and predictive analytics. Technology focus areas include:

• Cognos, an IBM Company
• Microsoft Business Intelligence
• Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)

Performance Management

Our knowledge in Performance Management compliments our Business Intelligence expertise by driving our analysis down a strategic focus path.  Performance Management is similar to Business Intelligence in that it uses similar concepts for reporting and the delivery of information.  However, Performance Management is typically more strategic and focuses on Executive Dashboards, Scorecards, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to predict the health of a business. Technology focus areas include:

• Cognos, an IBM Company
• Microsoft Business Intelligence
• Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)

Data Integration

Business Intelligence tools are only as good as the underlying data and governance policies that support them.  A key component to the successful delivery of strategic information is the movement, cleansing, and data governance processes that merge operational data into a Business Intelligence environment.  We specialize in tools and technologies to support this process. Technology focus areas include:

• Informatica
• Cognos Data Manager
• Microsoft DTS and SSIS
• Custom Development (.NET, PLSQL, Java, SQL)

Relational Databases

Our experience in the underlying infrastructure for the storage of data is critical to a successful Business Intelligence deployment. This includes the design aspects for data management as well as the tuning techniques specific to different relational databases and technologies. Technology focus areas include:

• Oracle
• SQL Server
• DB2
• Sybase
