Companies today are investing heavily in new, state of the art information
technologies in the hopes that these investments will lead to a competitive
advantage through improved operations and decision making. According to
Gartner research, almost 80 percent of companies in the U.S. have invested
in some form of BI software. But over 70 percent of those companies use it for
tactical purposes only. These companies fall far short of the goal of establishing
a sustained competitive advantage, settling instead for a sort of equivalence with
their industry competitors.
Most vendors focus on the technology alone, letting their customers think that
simply investing in the latest hardware/software will make them immediately
competitive. Through our experiences, we believe the secret to establishing a
competitive advantage is not found in the technology alone, but rather in a
combination of factors:
- Technical infrastructure that supports the goals of the organization and
provides for the proper information delivery mechanism
- Identifying and gathering the right information that leads to better
decision-making
- Practices and standards that drive how the information is interpreted
and used
At Virtuoso, we believe strongly in the transformational powers of good, strategic
information delivered in a timely manner. We also understand that many
companies are not aware of how to move their organizations from thinking
tactically to thinking strategically about their information. Virtuoso has the
necessary skill set to help companies reach their business intelligence potential.
We have done it for others; and we can do it for you.
Business Intelligence Strategy
It has already been established that achieving BI competitiveness is more than
just acquiring new technology. It is about understanding what information you
need and how to gain access to it that counts. Virtuoso has spent its entire
existence helping companies design and build state-of-the-art SAP™ financial
systems. And as many companies have discovered, the technology found in
SAP’s ERP system is powerful and full of promise. Real
returns are achieved, however, by establishing best-of-breed
operational processes that allow for the flow of information
that decision makers rely upon. Therefore, what companies
are seeking is a BI Strategy, as much as they are seeking BI
technology.
A successful BI strategy is one that blends the flexibility of a
data warehouse based delivery system, with one fed from a
transactional system. By leveraging SAP’s integrated BI
offering, in combination with Virtuoso’s expertise, both
requirements can be fulfilled.
