| Enterprise Risk Management consulting services |
By forming working relationships with IT and consulting services companies, I
add value through experience and a portfolio of technical and professional
services infused with business intelligence analytics. That value is compounded
and extended to the customers helping them succeed by harnessing and
transforming data into actionable insight.
Business leaders benefit from taking a more holistic approach to performance
management by seeing the interdependencies among people, processes, and
technologies throughout the enterprise. Strategic planning is enhanced through
the integration of performance objectives and collaboration among key decision
makers at all levels of the organization.
Front line managers need to see the same information senior level officers see.
There’s many ways to slice and dice a single version of the truth, but not all
analytical engines offer the same level of performance in accurately and reliably
transforming data into business intelligence analytics giving decision makers at
all levels the actionable insight they need, when they need it, for proactive
decision making.
Business Intelligence (BI) is about learning - learning to answer questions, solve
problems, make decisions, take action. Data is everywhere and BI tools let users
get to their data wherever it resides and allows them to visualize trends, patterns,
and relationships - hidden insights - resulting in optimized decision making. Data
is only worth as much as the decisions made using that data.
Data driven performance management is a process which drives best business
practices. I offer consulting services that focus on the strategic alignment of
people, process, and business objectives while taking an agile and iterative
approach to technology adaptation and deployment. Aligning cost effective
technology solutions to business needs is the goal.
I have identified a few BI solution providers that meet the most demanding
requirements for performance, reliability, credibility, agility, and TCO. These
companies compete in constantly evolving landscape defined by emergent
technologies and service delivery models with solutions which include: predictive
analytics, agile data integration, in-memory processing, and interactive
dashboard visualization.
As you would expect, the mega-vendors are big players in this space - IBM,
Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft quickly come to mind. However, the smaller players
are just as resilient and leading edge, with the same or better quality, agility, and
performance. Plus, their solutions are more affordable with a quicker ROI.
In particular, BI solution providers such as Birst, MyDials, LogiXML, Tableau,
Lyzasoft, and Tibco each offer an interesting mix of technologies in response to
customers' needs for on-demand business and social analytics. And many
businesses are finding synergies in leveraging these leading edge "new" BI
solutions to extract greater value from their legacy and enterprise systems such
as SAP.
Contact me for a free assessment of your business needs and together we can
plan for a successful future.

It is better to ask the right questions than think you know the right answers.
