Spend a little before wasting a lot!
Organizations often embark on data management or Business Intelligence initiatives that are too narrowly focused on only addressing the technology aspects of the problem. Such engagements tend to be overly expensive and only deliver limited results.
Our most valued services are our Business Intelligence (BI) Planning & Analysis Services. These include our Business Intelligence Roadmap, our BI Requirements & Scope Definition and the BI Project Specifications Definition. These SQLiaison Planning & Analysis Services provide you with everything you need to undertake a successful BI strategic initiative.
From a simple analysis to rationalize your BI strategy to a complete detailed strategic BI deployment plan evaluating precisely the costs, resources and scope of your Business Intelligence initiatives, our services are always tailored to your specific needs.
The SQLiaison Planning & Analysis Process
The SQLiaison Planning & Analysis process is both efficient and effective,
conducted by seasoned Business Intelligence Experts that can cut through systemic and business issues.
The Process is generally conducted as follows:
- Business workshops to gather informational requirements;
- Information Needs Analysis that creates an Informational Model;
- Workshops with client representatives to clearly identify and analyse internal and external data sources needed to support the informational requirements;
- Definition of a BI Architecture supporting the informational supporting requirements;
- Detailed Project Specifications to clearly define the initial BI Project and/or to quantify the Global BI Program;
- Executive Presentation to communicate results to the executive and/or steering committees.
According to your needs, our consulting activities will comprise some or all of these SMART eBI Planning & Analysis Services. Each service has clearly defined procedures and specific deliverables.
The SQLiaison Planning & Analysis Deliverables
The Planning & Analysis deliverables help define the boundaries of the
BI project triangle, defining its scope, budget and time.
Scope defines the functional aspects of the Analytical Application(s).
This includes what pieces of information will be available to whom, the
information distribution strategy, the infrastructure components and evolution plan of the application(s).
Budget includes the development and infrastructure money to be spent designing, developing, integrating and deploying the application(s).
Training costs are also evaluated and aligned with the deployment plan.
Time defines how long it will take to implement the Business Intelligence
initiative taking internal and external resources availability in the equation.
