BI

[Bee Ei]

What is BI?

Business Intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, tools and methods used to collect, analyse and present data so businesses can make informed decisions. It includes analysing, reporting and visualising data to understand business patterns and trends.

 

Data is meaningless if you don't understand it

We can build the perfect solution for you. But for us, it's about much more than the solution itself. Our mantra is that your users understand why and how to use the data. That way, data becomes knowledge and value.

 

We don't just talk numbers, but also the soft values

We could just talk numbers for hours. But we'd rather talk about and with people. So let's take the blinders off, zoom out and look at the soft values and challenge the data results. We think that makes the most sense.

 

Data understanding is a win-win for the entire organisation

Whether you work in customer service, production, marketing or a fourth department, data is important. Maybe you're one of those people who think data is a bit long-winded and complicated. What if we told you that you could turn data into easy-to-understand reports in less than 5 minutes? Powerful powertools do all the hard work for you.

 

By digitising your data tools, you get the following benefits, among others

  • A clear overview of your data
  • Gather all your company's business-critical data in one place
  • Real-time monitoring of data
  • See your entire business on one dashboard
  • Use data to gain insights that turn into actions
  • Easier and faster reporting
  • Better collaboration across departments

 

Tools that make sense for your business

There are a myriad of smart technologies available. The important thing is that you choose the tools that bring the most value to you and your business. Here you can see a selection:

The solution doesn't make sense if it doesn't fit your business

Our opinion is unmistakable. It's you and your business that need the solution. So of course it has to fit you. We listen and involve the users in your organisation and adapt so that the solution actually makes a difference for you. That's our approach. We don't talk in nerdy code language you don't understand. We train our consultants to communicate. It's important to us that we speak the same language when solving your challenges.

Data is not just numbers. It's more about people who need to understand and act on relevant insights. That's why we always involve you and your users. Our experience tells us that it provides the most value.
