Data Transformation using BI
The first stage in any BI Transformation is the source of the data.
There can be many sources such as Point of Sales data collected
through hand help scanners, cash registers, RFID’s etc. Few other
sources are through the Logistics and Distribution network, from the
suppliers and the manufacturers. These data are then fed to the
Operational systems from which it is stored in the central database.
The BI starts acting here to convert the raw data into processed
data using multi dimensional analytics and finally creating usable
business reports.
The firm has started its operations in India since 2001 and currently
it has a R&D expansion facility in Bangalore and Hyderabad besides
an international advisory centre in Mumbai. It aims to help in the
expansion of Indian Business Intelligence market as well as offer its
customers knowledge on BI policies. The company desire to bring
together the entire BI user group irrespective of the applications
they have installed to satisfy their business requirements.
