Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our company and services.

A. Defining BI Services and Strategic Value

We provide services that leverage data to help you make better business decisions. This includes data preparation, designing dashboards, creating performance reports, and delivering actionable insights using specialized BI tools.

Financial reporting tells you what happened (e.g., net income was X). BI Services tell you why it happened, what the trends are, and what actions to take next (e.g., which customer segment drove the profit change).

The core benefit is unified, single-version-of-the-truth reporting across all global entities (e.g., comparing profitability in the US vs. the UK) for consistent decision-making.

We are specialized in major industry-leading BI platforms, including Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, Qlik Sense, and Google Looker (formerly Data Studio) .

BI systems centralize and standardize financial and operational data, enabling quick reporting for regulatory submissions (e.g., VAT/GST reports, IFRS/US GAAP segment reporting), reducing compliance risk.

We integrate data from virtually any source, including ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) CRM systems (Salesforce), accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), SQL databases, and flat files (Excel, CSV).

Data Warehousing is the process of extracting, cleaning, and storing data from multiple source systems into a unified repository. We design and manage the data warehouse structure to optimize BI reporting.

A Dashboard provides a high-level, visual summary of key metrics (KPIs) for quick monitoring. A Report provides granular detail and historical trends for in-depth analysis.

For focused projects (e.g., Sales Performance Dashboard), initial results and actionable insights can often be delivered within 4 to 6 weeks of data source integration .

By providing timely, contextualized data, BI allows executives to make data-driven decisions regarding resource allocation, market entry, product pricing, and inventory levels.

Yes. We provide tailored training to your finance, sales, and operations teams on how to effectively use the deployed BI solution, including custom report creation and data analysis.

ETL is the critical process of moving data from source systems (Extract), cleaning and integrating it (Transform), and loading it into the data warehouse or BI model (Load). Yes, it's a core component of our service.

We implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), ensuring that users can only view data relevant to their role and region (e.g., UK sales team sees only UK sales data) .

BI allows for granular expense analysis, identifying cost drivers, benchmarking spending across departments/regions, and flagging areas for potential cost reduction and optimization.

Yes. By integrating external market data with internal performance metrics, we can create dashboards that track your market share, pricing effectiveness, and customer sentiment against competitors.

We provide services across all domains, specializing in the integration of financial and operational data to deliver holistic business insights (e.g., linking inventory levels to gross margin) .

We create a Global Data Dictionary and a centralized transformation layer (in the data warehouse) to map disparate fields into a single, standardized structure.

Self-Service BI empowers business users to create their own reports and analyze data without constant reliance on the IT department, using user-friendly BI interfaces. We design solutions to enable this.

Data Mining is highly specialized, focused on discovering hidden patterns and building predictive models. BI uses aggregated data to track current performance and support management decisions.
