Strategic Business Intelligence

Despite its origins within IT, business intelligence (BI) is not just about technology. It is about business processes and using information to make better business decisions. Technology merely supports the chief goal of BI, which is to provide business users with insight into company operations.

The BearingPoint Information Management team combines business understanding, deep technological knowledge and enterprise data management to help clients improve fact-based decisions on all levels within the organization.

• BI Competency Center - Today, many businesses are moving BI out of the IT division and are creating BI-centric organizations. These Business intelligence competency centers (BICCs) are staffed with business and technical personnel. BearingPoint help clients build self-sustained BICCs to get the most out of their BI investments.
  
  
• Predictive analytics - The use of predictive analytics can uncover patterns and predict behavior and events. It can identify the customers most likely to churn next month or to respond to next week’s direct mail piece. Today, marketing is the biggest user of predictive analytics with cross-selling, campaign management and customer acquisition and retention.
  
  
• Information Strategy - How can BI support and drive a company’s strategy? This is what Information Strategy is all about. First the current BI situation is assessed, both regarding technology and business impact. Then we paint a target picture as well as the plan to achieve the target picture. BearingPoint help clients both finding, executing and sustaining an information strategy.
  

Enterprise Data Management
Today, an organization’s most valuable asset is information. Usually the most important information is spread across several different applications and platforms. Enterprise data management helps clients create and manage knowledge assets and provides tools to access, analyze and manage data.
The BearingPoint Information Management team helps clients obtain maximum business value from their BI investments by aligning systems with business needs and ensuring that the organization makes the most of the possibilities inherent in technology.

• Data Warehousing - A data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data. By having historical data about trends the data warehouse facilitate reporting and analysis, and is the cornerstone of any successful BI implementation.
  
  
• Data Quality Improvement - Data quality is an important part of BI. An analysis is never better than the data it is based on. The focus of data quality improvement is around quantitatively understanding data quality issues and addressing these issues through a systematic re-engineering process.
  
  
• Master Data Management - Master data is data used across several applications, for instance customer data. Protecting master data from corruption or unauthorized changes as well as keeping it equal between applications is therefore a competitive imperative. Master data management (MDM) is the way to address these challenges.
