Understanding your current situation is important in all areas of endeavor, as the wonderfully named Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell discovered the day he lost four ships, 1,400 sailors and his own life on the rocky shores of the Scilly Isles.

Whilst the admiral lacked the technology to provide him with the information he needed to guide his fleet on the best course, the tools you need to steer your organization towards greater success already exist. Indeed you may well already own several of them.

Powerful technologies such as Microsoft Office, SQL Server, and SharePoint with Performance Point, deployed correctly, contain all the required functionality to drive better decision making, increase sales, identify those customers with the greatest potential and highlight unnecessary spend.

These systems provide all the capabilities required to collect and analyze business data from your line of business solutions, and then to deliver high quality business intelligence in the format most suited for the target audience.

High quality reports, graphical dashboards, scorecards and ad-hoc analysis tools provides the information needed to support your day to day business decisions, whilst more advanced integration, reporting and analysis tools allow you to take an even deeper look at your business, enabling strategic decision making.
