One of the challenges facing IT new to Business Intelligence (BI) is finding the right leadership. Leadership that bridges the gap between technology and business. Leadership that understands business process and its use of data. Leadership that can manage business analysis, technical design and report development - both on and off-shore. TPP can provide that leadership through our BI and Reporting Practice.

BI and Reporting Needs

Nearly every organization has a reporting and intelligence gap. For some, this gap evolved from multiple local solutions and the creation of islands of data (and tools). For another, the gap springs from ERP implementations and packaged BI that failed to deliver. For others still, mergers and acquisitions present multiple systems and solutions. Whatever the problem, TPP can help. Companies require:

• Visibility into daily operations - to drive timely tactical decisions
• Custom reporting - because ERP software is always customized (configured)
• Intelligent solution design - solutions that meet requirements today and tomorrow
• Affectivity to turn their data asset into a strategic asset - achieving common vision
• Tools and technology strategy - avoiding expensive, re-training, licensing and implementation

Issues TPP has seen across many of our clients and prospects compromise the vision leading to delays in implementation, cost overruns or sub-optimum solutions. Consider:

• IT organizations which lack a technology roadmap resulting in mutiple competing
  tools or diluted focus
• Lack of Business Use understanding - technical teams who don't or can't converse
  with decision makers
• Excessive iteration.. build, present, change resulting in rework and costly delays
• Lack of understanding of the capability - promising or customizing beyond the
  practical use of the solution
• Kluged or missing data standardization - what happens when data translation
  misses the mark

These Issues resolved by partnering with TPP for leadership.
