Business Intelligence

Business intelligence (BI) is a process for analyzing data and deriving insights to help businesses make decisions. In an effective BI process, analysts and data scientists discover meaningful hypotheses and can answer them using available data.

VDS understands BI analysis involves analyzing and data modeling design using data collected in a centralized data warehouse or multiple databases throughout the organization. It combines hard skills like programming, data modeling and statistics with soft skills like communication, analytical thinking and problem-solving. 

VDS proudly possesses a team of BI professionals who are experts in Communications, marketing and insights, and rely on our state-of-the-art research and analysis technology to deliver real-time, intelligent data on the most important metrics to drive strategic decisions. Our BI experts have a well-rounded background to balance the line between IT and the business. 

Our methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies leverage the output of information management processes for analysis, reporting, performance management, and information delivery.

VDS clearly understands that BI:

  1. Presents the insights determined by the Analytics in the form of reports, dashboards, or interactive visualizations.
  2. Facilitates queries in which individuals can ask data-related questions and obtain results (partly due to analytics). 
  3. Unlike Analytics, which is slated for those mathematically and technologically inclined, BI tools are specifically designed to present the results of analytics in a fashion that everyone can understand. 
  4. The growing trend towards Data Discovery tools reinforces this capability, and helps transfer the potential of data away from IT departments and into the hands of the end user.

  4. Our experienced BI experts use the User Interface Dashboards to carry out the analysis and operations and perform the tasks to be done.
  5. Through the dashboards, we provide insights or information about the data itself (rather than making extra transformations) to give data insights in a meaningful way to convey the solution in an easy way.
  6. Our experts apply Business Intelligence to structured data from enterprise applications such as Financial Software Systems or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to get insight from the past financial information or from the past financial transactions and in the areas of supply chain and operations.
  7.
