The Business Intelligence Data Readiness Assessment (DRA) will assist retailers in evaluating the condition of their current data and defining a path to maximize the business value of this data as a pre-requisite for a successful Business Intelligence (BI) initiative.

There are several indicators that an organization may be struggling with the current condition of their data including:

• An increase in a retailer’s mergers and acquisitions strategy, resulting in poor data conflicts, discrepancies, and missing data;
• Success in accumulating mass volumes of data but the inability to effectively use the data;
• A technology roadmap that has not been aligned with business strategy and customer needs resulting in confusion over management’s expectations; and
• An inability to conduct daily monitoring of activity because data can’t be accessed in a timely manner.

The benefits of partnering with Edgewater Technology to conduct DRA are:

• Recognizing alignment with business strategy;
• Improving data quality and consistency;
• Enhancing data integration;
• Advancing understanding of data;
• Leveraging enabling technologies to support BI requirements;
• Evolving utilization of data to make better decisions; and  
• Moving from reactive to proactive decision making.
