Successful businesses know decisions need to be made from the most complete and accurate data possible.  A company needs to be able to combine data from legacy systems, software products, and real-time sources to transform the data into deeper insights about their business.  These insights can provide the competitive advantage that is needed to thrive in an environment where customers have many choices. 

With Edgewater Technology's Business Intelligence (BI) expertise, we provide customers with the tools and services needed to begin their analytics application implementations and leverage their existing technology investments with either an enterprise data warehouse strategy or a smaller process-specific data mart integrated with an online analytical processing and reporting tool.

What is BI?

BI refers to the capability to leverage data into meaningful information that will provide richer insights into how a business is doing today and provides a sense of where it may be going tomorrow.  BI solutions provide:

• Analysis of sales and operations;
• Understanding of customer behavior;
• Identification of opportunities for revenue increases and costs savings;
• Improvements in overall decision-making;
• Analysis of large amounts of historical data which can be analyzed to identify patterns and understand trends that might impact the business.

BI solutions are a key differentiator in today’s increasingly competitive business environment.  Staying ahead of the competition requires the ability to predict and respond to trends in the marketplace, rather than merely reacting to isolated events.  Advancements in technology have made the use of BI practical and cost effective to a wider audience.  With a BI solution, organizations are able to transform data into actionable information in less time while deploying it across intranets and extranets to improve decision-making and increase the responsiveness of all areas of the organization. 

Demands for BI

With large amounts of data stored in separate systems, those who fail to develop a 360-degree view of the business are increasingly at risk.  Imagine a company whose Website and call center do not share the same customer data, or a company that maintains different databases for its different sales channels of catalog, Web, and retail stores.  These companies will miss opportunities for increased revenues, customer satisfaction, and repeat business.

The amount of customer and partner information available for analysis today is unprecedented.  It is this data that will enable organizations to develop more focused and personalized approaches towards customers and business partners, resulting in stronger and more loyal relationships.  A BI infrastructure of integrated data and analytical capabilities provides the backbone for transforming data into strategies to attract and retain customers.
