Enterprise Intelligence

The future is challenged by the past.  Executives require that new knowledge and wisdom be freed from disparate data stores into up-to-the-minute insights and performance measurements.  The powerful alliance between integrated data assets, process, and technology will be the virtual power behind your business decisions. 

Enterprise Intelligence goes beyond standard Business Intelligence.  It is the culmination of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) strategies combined with precise tactical delivery that will enable your organization to Command & Control your data assets.

PSC’s Enterprise Intelligence practice consists of vendor neutral Data Warehouse & BI experts that specialize in providing strategic leadership and direction in the strategy, governance, modeling & engineering, integration, delivery, and management of data assets. 

To deliver powerful insights and KPIs, our consultants offer the following expertise to Command & Control data assets and technology investments through the information lifecycle.  To meet your business objectives, Enterprise Intelligence drives the processes to govern, store, manage, and harvest information from business areas and transforming it later into knowledge.

Meeting Your Business Objectives –

• Key Performance Indicators (KPI) Generation - Companies use KPIs in business intelligence to measure various aspects of a business area.  The biggest advantage of using KPI is that information is readily available to end-users within very little time.  In the absence of KPIs, companies might take several months in order to gather the required information related to the overall performance of the company, causing further delay in adapting business strategies to fit changing market needs.  PSC can drive delivery of quicker KPI measurements.  KPI examples:
  • Sales by Region, Store, Sales Rep, etc.
  • Sales Analytics by Products, Units, etc.
  • Cross Sell Opportunities
• ERP and data rationalization – Many organizations have unused and redundant copies of data and/or applications which adds complexity, risk, and cost to your organization.  PSC can help you review your critical data and derive a plan for cost efficient data movement and management.
• Enterprise Intelligence Delivery – Whether the consumers of your data are internal or external to your organization, we will help you get the right information to the right people, at the right time. PSC consultants can help you build a collaborative analytical environment, empowering your decision makers while reducing cost.
• SaaS, Cloud, and SOA Frameworks – When your organization is looking to rollout SaaS or SOA components, PSC as an approach to ensure your new system and application data components are addressed with multiple possibilities for best of breed design patterns and technologies.

Driving Your Strategy

• Roadmaps – Proven methodologies help your organization understand the intrinsic value, tradeoffs, costs, and quick-wins for implementing a BI/DW or Enterprise Data Management strategy.

• Data Warehousing – Especially in today’s business environment, understanding profitability, cost, employee performance, and operational efficiency is critical to an organization’s success. Your company’s data is its organizational memory and provides a window into what is working and what is not.  PSC consultants have decades of experience designing data warehouses for organizations in a variety of industries and can help you leverage your existing data assets to drive a much more thorough understanding of your business.
• Business Intelligence & Analytics – Your analytical processes aren’t driven by where data was generated; they’re driven by how that information is used to make decisions. Our consultants understand OLAP, ROLAP, and MOLAP.  PSC knows multiple technology stacks and when/how to use them.
