Get the best out of your IT Systems investments

You know there is plenty of valuable data in your systems (and it is growing by an average of 40% per year). To get the most out of your investements, ask yourself:

Are we feeding the systems - or are the systems feeding us? Do our systems add significant value?
Are we integrating (different systems) or duplicating (data)?
Do we get meaningful metrics out of the systems, or is our business intelligence not very useful?

Through extensive exposure to systems in the areas of Finance, Procurement, Inventory, Maintenance Management, Engineering, Projects and Construction I can offer services to help your business with aspects of your systems. To optimise the use of your IT systems, you may want to consider:

Are you making the most of your current systems, such as:
- Smart use of functionality
- Adequately trained employees
- Aligned business processes

Are you getting useful information out of your systems?
- From my experience, the secret lies in unlocking your data and make it available to your staff to support their decision making. This ranges from high level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to summary data to detailed lists which can be filtered and analysed. If you don't have a bespoke Business Intelligence tool, then spreadsheets (preferably with built-in database queries) are a good alternative. Most people know how to use spreadsheets!

If you are in the unfortunate position where you have a suite of systems which are not (fully) integrated, you will find that your inefficiencies mount with the constant discrepancies - which are cumbersome to fix and which have the potential to introduce serious business risks.

BizIntelligence can help you with getting more out of your new or existing IT systems!
