A Segue to Viewing Your Data.
Whew!!! So, now your organization can rest easy that it has a platform in place to enter, store, manage, and disseminate accurate data. What’s next? Clean data is most valuable but the true ROI is realized by taking this data and extracting meaningful decision-making knowledge from it, the type of knowledge that allows you to improve business strategy. Better business strategy means more efficient use of corporate dollars and faster ROI. Visual Analytics is a proven method for getting there. Our professionals are capable of building full visualization suites that meet the needs of all organization levels.
A Breakdown of Visualization.
Data Visualization, or Visual Analytics, is an art form for which technical tools take the place of a paintbrush and canvas. But success with visual storytelling is more method and best practice than technology. There are a ton of tools to get the job done but knowing what steps to take to convey the right message is akin to being a good writer. In this since we consider our approach technology independent. Meaning, best practices matter regardless of the tool (no matter cost and quality) used and without them your organization will never see good adoption and therefore poor ROI. Just a few (of many) of the things we fortify our practice on are:
While we build our approach on best practice, method, and thought leadership, our visual analytics consultants do bring a range of skills in a myriad of BI reporting tools including but not limited to:
Working Together for Insights: The Payoff.
We generally employ Agile methods to display our visualizations to key stakeholders. The benefit: 1) we get immediate feedback, 2) our users stay engaged, and 3) they stay apprised of our progress. This provides major buy-in and gives us "evangelists" who can champion our effort by putting in a good word to other users about our work. This evangelism by spreading the word of what we produce tremendously aids User Adoption.
Business Intelligence decisions are moving from the boardroom to the front lines. Business Intelligence decisions are impacting more and more decisions – especially on the front lines, according to Boris Evelson, a Forrester Research analyst. The reason for this, as stated in a recent article, is that operational BI is moving toward the front lines with “offerings that integrate data and process dashboards” as well as “event-driven systems that initiate a business process based on certain data conditions.” BI is moving toward a self-service delivery model. Instead of just dashboards and reporting – users can pull reports and mine data to make better decisions. These reports are being used to predict trends and make decisions. Streamlining data with BI tools can help make this possible. |
In a broad sense, BI business value can be seen as a matter of determining how an organization can use BI to: Improve management processes - such as planning,controlling, measuring, monitoring, and/or changing - so that management can increase revenues, reduce costs, or both. Improve operational processes such as fraud detection, sales campaign execution, customer order processing, purchasing, and/or accounts payable processing so that the business can increase revenues,reduce costs or both. |
