Business intelligence is the art and science of winnowing through masses of data to extract nuggets of information that answer these questions and many more. At FunctionIT, we’re experts in the data warehousing and data analysis technologies that enable you to achieve this insight. Equally important, we know how to efficiently plan and execute a business intelligence project that is driven entirely by your business requirements, not by technology for its own sake.

Since we began, FunctionIT has managed some of the most demanding assignments possible, ranging from departmental data marts, to complex, enterprise-wide data warehouses. We understand the needs of line managers and senior executives alike.

Our entire project methodology is designed with management needs in mind. This includes a set of key performance indicators that measure crucial aspects of your business and a set of analytic models that reveal unseen patterns in your data.

Over the past two decades, we have helped companies build sophisticated profiles of profitable customers that enable them to optimize their customer acquisition programs. We’ve helped telecommunications companies optimize their product bundles and reduce churn. We’ve helped banks analyze their credit card transactions to identify patterns of fraud. And we’ve helped companies of all stripes improve their efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Our services include:

• Business Discovery engagements. This is a an in-depth information audit where we identify the precise content and form of information your executives need, and a logical model of the operational data required to furnish this insight.

• Database design. This includes a comprehensive data model, in-depth schema and data transformations documentation and a multi-level, optimized architectural design.

• Data sourcing and acquisition. This is the stage where we identify all of the required data sources and design the data extraction transformation and load processes required to deliver the data into an information repository.

• Data aggregation and analysis. During this stage, we physically implement the database and begin populating it with data in the required format. We also perform all of the data analysis tasks required to produce analytic models and decision processes.

• Business intelligence training and launch. Now that critical information is being created and updated automatically, we can train your knowledge workers to make the most of their new insights. We can also help you develop and implement effective new information-driven decision making processes.
