HOW WE CAN HELP
What We Do
We develop and support enterprise analytic solutions that deal with the exponential
growth of data businesses and organizations are struggling to make sense of so they
can make better decisions. Our solutions can handle any number of data sources of
any size, from gigabytes to petabytes and up. We take all that data, mash it up,
process it, and analyze it and then deliver it back to you as information that will
help you make “informed” decisions about your operations, business processes, performance
management, and more. This, in turn, results in a significant ROI that can be measured
in improved operational efficiencies and financial performance.
Self-Service Analytic Solutions that Drive Decision-Making Across the Enterprise
Whether you are using one of our industry solutions, such as retail or healthcare,
or are
working with us to address a specific business or organizational issue, our solutions
are designed to be “self-service:”
- An easy-to-use Dashboard delivers visual and tabular views of all your key performance
indicators, forecasts, etc.
- No knowledge of SQL or other languages is required. Instead, Wizards step you through
building your own report queries, creating or changing Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs), running correlations, and creating business rules to automatically monitor
key activities.
- If you choose, all reports, KPIs, and their underlying tables can be exported to
Microsoft Excel.
In short, business users and sophisticated analysts are given the tools they need
to gain visibility into their data and drive business performance.
Why are Analytic Solutions Important to Your Organization?
Analytic solutions enable all business users to participate, use, and derive value
from the large, and ever-growing, volumes of data that are now available. Traditionally,
these people have been left out of the decision-making loop as both enterprise systems,
like Business Intelligence and Data Warehouses, and desktop solutions, like Excel
and SAS, require senior analysts or highly certified personnel to manage and use
them. Since analytic solutions are designed to turn that same data into usable and
accessible information, your entire organization benefits and those “closest to
the problems” now have all the information they need to solve them. Put simply,
analytic applications measure the performance of business operations using all available
data and deliver the information and tools to improve operational and financial
performance.
About Our Approach & Methodology
We believe that a data-driven enterprise evolves over time as data
and data sources change, processes change, and technology advances.
Our goal is to ensure that we not only “fix” the
immediate problems, but create a dynamic, data-driven environment that
uses analytics to drive fact-based decision making. In turn,
fact-based decision making drives operational efficiencies, lowers
costs, and maximizes profitability.
We know what we do best: we work with you to determine an
analytics strategy, look for sources of data, develop analytics that
will help you make informed decisions about your business, and deliver
analytic solutions—built using our Analytics Framework—that can be used
by everyone in your organization. This doesn’t mean that we know your
business better than you do. Our approach and methodology ensures that
both areas of expertise are incorporated during the design and
development process and in the analytic solution we deliver.
About Our Framework
All of our applications are built using PatternBuilders' Analytic Framework which
enables us to develop and deploy our applications in a fraction of the time and
at a much lower cost than traditional business intelligence and data warehousing
systems or Excel and SAS desktop solutions. Our Framework is able to handle and
store data of any size from as many sources as you require. In short, we deliver
sophisticated analytics based on larger data sets that are faster, and cheaper than
the alternatives.
