Business Intelligence

Gain deeper insights about your business

More and more people are deciding to analyse data with Business Intelligence, and there’s a good reason for it.

Business Intelligence will help you increase your business profitability through:

  • Improved performance
  • Discovering new revenue streams
  • Optimising internal processes
  • Identifying market trends
  • Isolating business problems

What is Business Intelligence?

Business Intelligence, commonly known as BI, is software that is designed to present your data in ways that help you understand and gain deeper insights about your business. This typically consists of bringing data from your numerous software systems – such as accounting, ERP, projects and CRM together – and consolidating everything into dashboard-style reports.

Filters (and other tools) can be used to dynamically change the content and format of the information you’re viewing. This means you can ask questions of your business on the fly. Designed correctly, BI can help you drive your organisation forward. It can do this because it unlocks the value of your data contained within all your systems giving you the tools to evolve.

You can use BI to understand activity levels and other proactive outputs across the business or to view information across time (year on year, month on month) to spot trends. Many companies use BI to consolidate information from many software applications.

Almost every project we do involves data work – de-duplication, consolidation, imports and so on – making us quite experienced! There is little our technical team can’t do with data.

We help our customers collect and transform their data from multiple sources to uncover trends and inconsistencies. Next, we work with a Business Intelligence platform, such as Power BI, to present findings via data visualisations using dashboards, charts and graphs, giving our customers insights that they can turn into strategic actions.

Some of our customers use BI to deliver insights directly for their own customers to consume. For example, they embed a BI report(s) into a web portal, which enables their customers to view and analyse information on-demand.

What are the benefits?

Business Intelligence brings many benefits to an organisation, including:

  • Fast and accurate reporting
  • Valuable business insights
  • Competitive analysis
  • Better data quality
  • Increased customer satisfaction
  • Identifying market trends
  • Increased operational efficiency
  • Improved and accurate decisions
  • Increased revenue
  • Lower margins

Find out more in our blog on Why You Should Analyse Data with BI.

Data is one of the most valuable assets any business has, but unlocking its true value depends on quality, meaningful analysis, and having the right tools and skills to turn insights into strategy and revenue. Having worked with Avrion, I can say they really do bring the expertise to help businesses make that transformation!
