Accurate, relevant, and timely information is vital for any company to survive and prosper. The challenge facing many companies in today’s business environment is generally no longer sourcing data, but instead, extracting useful information from corporate databases.

Business intelligence (BI) refers to methods of transforming large amounts of data into valuable information for decision making. Over recent years, an increasing number of companies have invested in BI technologies, and have realised tangible, and in many cases even dramatic benefits. BI is now even regarded as a key area in which a company can develop a competitive advantage, since it facilitates rapid decision making and responsiveness.

To ensure you meet these criteria, Tagra specialises in delivering “best of breed” BI solutions. Although we focus on a few core technologies, we are not “tied” to any BI vendor, and believe in providing the technology most appropriate to the meeting each client’s unique requirements.

Although many aspects overlap, BI tools are often divided into two areas:

• Report writing tools are used by most companies to provide reports on all aspects of the business.
• Analysis tools also provide reports, but are more specialised to allow user interaction like drilling and slicing/dicing. They are generally confined to numeric analysis only.
