What is Business Intelligence (BI)?

Business intelligence (BI) refers to the ability of organisations to quickly and easily extract the data they require –information at their fingertips.

An organisation that effectively implements and uses a BI approach is not only making educated decisions, but making them rapidly using real-time information.

Business Intelligence software has come a long way and now allows organisations manage their data efficiently and effectively. However it is important to realise that software is the tool of BI, not the reason for the organisation to implement it. Successful deployment requires an investment in pure business management consulting to define objectives, goals and strategies.

Kinetic works in partnership with our clients and their success is our success – conversely, their failure is our failure. This means that we do more than just dump a software solution on your doorstep. We work with you to develop a strategic approach before, during and after implementation of the software.

In addition we only work with the best software, which is why we recommend QlikView. During 2011 QlikView was confirmed as number 1 in the leaders quadrant in the Business Intelligence Platform Magic Quadrant produced by Gartner.

The report presents a global view of Gartner’s opinion of the main software vendors that should be considered by organisations seeking to use business intelligence (BI) platforms to develop BI applications.
