Business Intelligence Technology
Business Intelligence systems allow a company to gather, store, access and analyze corporate data to aid in decision-making. Tools are a type of application software designed to report, analyze and present data. The tools generally read data that have been previously stored, often, though not necessarily, in a data warehouse.
Whilst SMT Consulting can blueprint business processes and business KPI’s regardless of the BI application, SMT can deliver a complete solution with SAP BusinessObjects. This Business Intelligence solution incorporates several leading solutions:
- Business Objects Edge (data integration and mapping, query, ad-hoc analysis with mobile and real time data reporting)
- Crystal Reports for formal, distributed reporting
- Xcelsius for visual, interactive dashboards
- Mobile Reporting
The SAP BusinessObjects application enables a company to combine data from multiple sources; populate a data warehouse expediently; and leverage ad hoc, advanced, and drilldown analysis.
