Business intelligence allows companies to sort
through the daily flood of data to better understand customer and partner
relationships, as well as Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). By translating
this understanding into action, companies derive significant benefits in
the form of increased profits, an improved ability to take advantage of
new opportunities, and the ability to respond more quickly to changing
market demand.
Today, a new generation of integrated solutions puts the power of business
intelligence within reach of organizations of every size. Our focus is to
provide BI solutions that give you a competitive advantage by allowing
you to unlock the power of your data. By implementing the following
solutions, you can make course-changing decisions in minutes or
hours, rather than weeks or months.
ASD uses these Web-based
tools to enable executives to easily visualize and communicate business
strategies, drill down into key business data, and simplify the measurement
of their KPIs. We help your organization implement a scorecard or
dashboard solution to allow you to overcome the difficulties of slow,
inaccurate decision making; poor visibility into corporate performance;
and processes that are disconnected from strategy.
This process takes large volumes of data
and transforms it into business insight that can drive profitability. A
wide variety of tools are available in the marketplace to allow advanced
query and multi-dimensional analysis of business intelligence data. ASD
helps you select the tools best designed to meet your end users’ needs.
More importantly, we design a data model and data warehouse architecture
that enhance the management, security, and performance of the selected
query and data analysis tools.
This offering enhances business decision making
by extending information across the entire company and seamlessly to
external customers, partners, and suppliers in real time. The ability to
provide business reporting in a variety of formats—from traditional
paper to interactive Web-based reports—complements your BI solution.
ASD can transform valuable enterprise data into shared information for
insightful reporting and timely decisions at a lower total cost of ownership.
Today’s business intelligence systems must easily
integrate into your current corporate desktop strategy. Tight integration
with a broad range of desktop productivity tools and intranet applications
expands the reach to significantly more employees within an organization.
By integrating your business intelligence tools into existing user tools,
ASD helps reduce the learning curve and exploit existing technologies
and strategies while providing faster user acceptance. And a faster
user acceptance means a faster return on investment.
If you know that a business intelligence solution
is something that your organization needs, but you don’t know where to
begin, then ASD BI Quick-Start is designed just for you.
In less than two weeks, using the ASD BI Quick-Start process, we identify
your business need and tell you what is required to meet that need. We
determine the requirements for data, end users, software and hardware;
determine how to measure success; then deliver the information necessary
to implement a working production environment or prototype.
From a Quick-Start to a successful finish, ASD offers a comprehensive
list of consulting services, including business requirements planning,
architecture and design, presentation tool analysis, data model design,
and project management.
