Consulting in Business Analytics

We build customizable models that suit your needs better than any other template

  • We can add your custom features to existing models
  • We can build expressive, highly tested, customizable models from scratch

We offer unprecedented value

If you find a customizable model that does not entirely meet your needs, we can enhance it for you, or build you a model from scratch. Our tools help us build customizable models that are realistic and reliable, taking a fraction of the time and cost required by conventional approaches.

Your investment in customizable templates continues to work for you

Once built, you can customize the models using the Template Customizer as often as you like. We can also build in new features and customizations not included in the original model. You can reuse your investment many times.

  1. Perform a situation assessment to build consensus on how the project will benefit the business.
  2. Develop a preliminary model of the analytic computations, data requirements and output metrics.
  3. Evaluate organizational data resources and identify data improvement opportunities.
  4. Build prototype analytic models and performance metrics, and confirm suitability of the metrics for the intended management processes.
  5. Build full reports and analyses to obtain performance metrics.
  6. Help your organization use the new performance metrics in decision making.
  7. Improve the design and implementation of the analysis.
  8. If the analysis process is on-going, set up stable infrastructure to support the process.

We help design business intelligence projects for success. The key factors for success are:


A value proposition Agree on how the project will improve effectiveness of product development, marketing programs, selling and other functions.
Project team The team should include experts in business intelligence, I.T., and decision makers who use the information.
Executive sponsorship Business intelligence is a strategic function; support of mid-level functional managers is sometimes not enough.
Measures of success Measures of success may be quantitative, or they may consist of a consensus among client managers and executives that the BI project has improved effectiveness of programs, backed by case examples.
Permanent skills and systems Good analytics and metrics keep on contributing for the long term. Upgrade organizational skills and systems that generate high value analytics and that integrate business analysis into planning.
