Methodology
Business Intelligence Methodology
Business Intelligence Solutions from Incisive Analytics provide high impact solutions for urgent client problems. Our methodology is built around our clients' strategic initiatives which then drive our focus and custom delivery of the right BI solution for each client. It’s a foundation that not only serves clients well today but is designed to scale with business growth and to meet the unique challenges and opportunities of their marketplace.
Our clients are getting answers to their immediate questions. We're making sure that they'll be able to do the same thing a year down the road with best practices such as:
- Creating unprecedented user access to atomic-level data
- Exposing the enterprise to standard calculations with full drill-through capabilities
- Providing ‘data groupings’ for additional analytical power and/or external data cleansing
- Adding benchmarks and quota comparisons for take-action analytics
- Adding new data sources and data marts with minimal effort
- Designing with a tool, vendor and platform agnostic approach
Best Practice Implementation
Best practice implementation requires a five–step process that translates transaction–oriented data into an analytically friendly organization (e.g., star schema) which is accessed by a drillable data cube in a user friendly, secure, self-service environment.
Clients with an established business intelligence program built on some of these best practices have come to Incisive Analytics for help in taking their program to the next level of effectiveness and sustainability. Our goal remains the same: leverage the existing foundation to meet the unique business challenges and opportunities of tomorrow. Our proven process and our commitment to teaching is the key to helping our clients establish their own sustainable, best practice BI program.
Project Methodology and Approach – Turning Stakeholders into Experts
An Incisive Analytics solution is not complete without turning stakeholders into experts. Relentless collaboration is the key to a successful BI solution implementation. The creation of a hybrid team of client leaders & business experts and Incisive Analytics consultants brings the best talent from both to solution engagements. Incisive Analytics projects establish clear communication and deliverables with a Mutual Performance Principle and clear stakeholder roles and responsibilities. Organizations that work with Incisive Analytics generate a heartbeat for research within the organization, a “Culture of Analytics” that rapidly increases the hunger to incorporate additional sources of data and subject areas.
