Data Integration

Today’s data-driven marketplace drives some decision-makers to distraction. And others, right out of business. Thanks to our system-driven technological world, most organizations today have access to incredible amounts of information. That’s the good news. This deluge can, however, prove overwhelmingly non-productive. Simple data warehousing isn’t enough anymore – not if you’re looking to glean real knowledge from your information assets and put it productively to work.

Today, many BPM Northwest clients are augmenting their data warehousing capabilities with Cognos-refined Data Integration services. The core of Business Performance Management, and an essential component of effective Business Intelligence, Data Integration enables organizations to leverage the full potential of all their information.

Data Integration refines information and defines the big picture. Rather than reams of information siloed in multiple disparate locations, you finally have access to consolidated, useable, up-to-date data reflecting every factor of your business.

• You get smarter information. Beyond simple warehousing, true Data Integration results in information that is cleansed, de-duplicated, redefined to your specific operation, and automated for cost efficiencies.
• You get more insight. Since all information resides in one easily accessed location, streamlined for quality, you have instant access to essential data – a 360-degree view of customers, for example, including individual profiles, transaction histories, buying patterns, potential purchase incentives.
• You get better performance. With properly implemented Data Integration, users are able to “self serve,” reducing IT workloads. The right information is immediately accessible to the right people – at precisely the right time.

Data Integration improves your ROI: Return on Information. By putting the BPM Northwest-Cognos partnership to work for your organization, you can now balance the increasing volume of your data and your dependence on it with its vastly improved quality. Result: you’re able to turn reams of data into real knowledge in order to meet your Business Performance Management goals.
