With BIO from BIO Analytics, Callow & Associates can virtually eliminate the technical and development resources typically required for a business intelligence implementation.   As a result,  the cost, risk and time to deliver a successful BI implementation are reduced.

Business Intelligence professional services:

  • Planning:  scoping and validating BI requirements;
  • Implementation:  BI data migration, BI conversion, and project management;
  • Training:  customized and/or group sessions; and,
  • Ongoing consulting and support to enhance and refine your specific BI requirements.

 

Methodology

The Callow & Associates BI implementation methodology leverages years of working with midmarket companies and the specific informational and organizational issues associated with these organizations.

Our methodology is guided by the following principles:

  • Initial penetration of BI into an organization is evolutionary; achieve success in a few smaller/simpler BI projects (Phase I) at the departmental level before adopting an enterprise roll-out;
  • Allow for a period of “self-learning” for an organization to achieve an understanding of the potential of BI based on its own experiences and on its interaction with the Phase I solution;
  • Design to the issues of the non-technical end user; from establishing a company-specific “common language” to the needs of the two-click user to the analyst; and,
  • Provide a rapid, interactive prototype environment where ideas and recommendations can be shown rather than described.

 

Proof of Concept and Prototyping

Proof of concept (POC) and prototyping are huge assets to ensure the success, cost-effectiveness and value of your solution. POCs enable a coming together of the minds between client-specific opportunities and opportunities that are available with today’s BI technology.

The BIO platform enables a rapid prototyping environment with your own source data. Callow & Associates recommends the completion of a BI prototype in an effort to help determine project scope and costs.   This process will demonstrate the potential benefits a BIO solution can provide your organization.
