Business Intelligence

From 2009, businesses made an enormous investment in technology. In today's economy, where spending must be decreased, businesses are asking themselves, "What technologies have we invested in?" and "How do we leverage these investments?" However, although overall IT spending has decreased, within that spending, the portion spent on Business Intelligence and BI related technology has increased.

There are two major reasons why the increased interest in Business Intelligence (BI): the information age and the economy. In the information age, information is power. Companies that leverage, exploit and maximize their information assets have a strategic advantage over their competitors. Business today moves at the speed of information. Getting the right information into the right hands at the right time is essential.

The visibility of performance (turns) in specific areas of business to the business owners, allow managers to analyze the profitability and improve overall business velocity.

"availability of accurate data across all management layers" is one of their top most business priority for the coming years. This being the case, Business Intelligence becomes a vital element in the application portfolio of all enterprises. Vital business decisions and analysis are done based on accurate data. The fact that BI allows an organisation to understand their data in the way they want to, makes it mission critical.

We, in PI Systems, enable our customers to get answers to question of "why?" not "what?" from their existing data. Our PIspoke solution suite delivers the entire spectrum of Business Intelligence services. Our BI assessment team consults the client organisations on its current state of BI/DW initiative, maturity and strategy.
