From Reporting to Performance Management and Business Analytics

Many organisations have deployed Business Intelligence (BI) solutions to support their decision process. However, despite several years using Business Intelligence techniques, most companies still face key challenges related to information management.

• Users cannot access the right information in a timely manner or in the right context
• Different BI tools are accessing various data sources
• Data is inconsistent
• Data silos exist across disparate systems
• Data volumes continue to grow exponentially
• Unreliable forecasts are produced
• Regulatory compliance is a challenge

To meet such challenges, a well thought approach is required.

Sogeti’s vision is that Business Intelligence and data management programs have to be applied across the whole organisation. This is because they are strategic in nature and require a close interaction between IT and the business, as well as strong governance to help identify, deliver and maintain the organisation’s BI strategy.

Sogeti can help you structure your BI initiatives and achieve your business targets.
