Metricsphere’s consulting is about
Business Intelligence, yes it’s
primarily technology based but we
believe in providing the right
information to the right people at the
right time. That means a successful
project will involve finding out the
needs of the company as a whole and
providing all the information needed to
make the best decisions. It’s not just
something for the CTO to worry about,
good Business Intelligence impacts the
entire company:
For CEO’s
Getting a snapshot view of your company’s status through a digital dashboard, a set of quickly assimilated relevant metrics presented in an easy to
read format can mean the difference
between lengthy board meetings and
quickly executed decisions. But that’s
only true when the information you need
is presented to you and not the
information someone assumes you want.
You’re unlikely to simply want
information presented from the main
software applications your company has
invested in, information becomes richer
when it’s reflects the entire company.
At Metricspehere we can integrated all
the data in your company’s applications
to give you the combined and relevant
metrics you need so you can spend your
time deciding what to do, not hunting
for information.
For CFO’s:
Do you sometimes wonder whether the
pages of reports generated by your ERP
systems have any real relevance? As they
get longer and more complicated it gets
more and more difficult to extract the
underlying reasons for the figures
you’re looking at. At Metricsphere we go
behind the numbers with products such as
our Prescriptive Balanced Scorecard
which can show reasons behind variances
and changes in monthly Balance and P&L.
By combining information across systems
we can give you the external view which
makes the ERP data even more relevant,
whether it’s about sales or marketing,
production or physical distribution.
For CTO’s:
Do you sometimes wonder if you’re
really getting the most out of the
systems you’ve installed and maintain?
Does the idea of letting people loose
inside those systems, with all the
potential for damage that can imply,
scare you? If the answer’s yes then
Metricsphere is the sort of company you
can talk to about your data
infrastructure. With years of skills in
operational data systems and Business
Intelligence we can unlock the value
that line managers want from those
systems. Just as important we have a
reputation for building reliable, robust
solutions which don’t impact the
applications your company is relying on
and which form a flexible and manageable
foundation for future BI projects or
business process optimisation through a
service oriented architecture.
For Line Managers:
It’s all too easy to get totally
immersed in the applications which
directly affect your role. Applications
today provide a wide variety of
information, whether it’s pipeline
conversion rates for the sales team,
cost per contact for marketing,
production schedule for manufacturing or
total lifetime customer value from
financial products. Often those metrics
don’t go far enough or you have a
requirement specific to your company. We
can help either with bespoke solutions
or some of our specialised products and
services which extend the capabilities
of existing applications.
Deepening your information isn’t our
only skill; it can be frustrating when
your own department’s performance is
adversely affected by other areas of the
business, especially when you could have
taken remedial action. If your sales
team is selling a product successfully
it would be nice to know if there are
going to be production issues, or a
service backlog or any one of a number
of external influences which are unique
to your company’s business processes. We
can widen your information to cover the
key external areas which influence your
department, giving you advance notice
and time to take action. |
