Intelligent business intelligence

Information is power. But too much information can be paralysing. In today’s dynamic technical and business environment, a flood of information continually pours in from multiple channels. The challenge is extracting measurable and actionable insights from that data for making informed decisions that deliver results across your enterprise.

We value your data. From business intelligence to data warehousing and dash boarding to monitoring, CRI has the adequate consultancy expertise to help you collect and analyse real-time data for making better decisions that help grow your business.

CRI’s approach begins with deeply understanding your business, your business objectives and the key performance metrics for measuring success. We create an implementation strategy focused on your business objectives and help your team to effectively use your analytics solutions.

The CRI Business intelligence (BI) competence unit delivers you the following strategic consultancy:

BI strategy, design & architecture

Deliver a high-level business vision, BI architecture and BI roadmap to help maximise return on present and future BI investments:

  • focus BI initiatives on the areas of greatest value to stakeholders and defer or eliminate areas of limited value
  • provide an understanding of requirements to support architecture decisions and prevent over- or under-investing
  • drive BI architecture decisions that enable analytical capabilities to be added incrementally

BI tool selection

Define and prioritise BI requirements, evaluate the BI tool vendor landscape, and select the BI tool that best fits client’s business objectives and the overall IT strategy:

  • create evaluation process tailored to client’s specific needs
  • define/prioritise BI platform requirements
  • define the platform evaluation criteria
  • create vendor RFP
  • collect and evaluate vendor responses
  • manage the vendor proof-of-concept process

BI tool rationalisation strategy

Help an organisation make sense of its multiple-tool infrastructure, and deliver an actionable strategy for rationalising usage of BI tools:

  • assess current licensing, deployment, costs, usage and ROI of multiple BI tools in an enterprise
  • conduct gap/overlap analysis of functionality/needs across BI tools, projects and/or organisations
  • determine which tool is right for each project
  • deliver tool Rationalisation document, assessment matrix and briefing

BI maturity assessment

Employ an assessment that clearly identifies the qualities of a BI system and the steps to achieve them:

  • gather and understand current and future business objectives and architecture
  • provide an outline of the best processes for achieving the optimal state of a BI system
  • develop a report card on an organisation’s current state as well as recommendations that enable analytical capabilities to support decision-making
