Business Intelligence

These days, businesses are faced with exponential rates of information growth. Corporate systems typically collect huge volumes of data each day. The challenge is to analyse and report on that data in a way that conveys real meaning to both executive- and line-management.

This is where a well-designed Business Intelligence (BI) system can help. While data warehouses and data marts are a key part of the solution, they must be coupled with efficient and flexible data analysis and reporting systems in order to be truly effective.

Apt has recently completed a highly successful BI project for the Australian Department of Defence. This system is a total, end-to-end BI solution, incorporating data requisition and acquisition, organic Extract Load and Transform (ELT), temporal database management and reporting services components. The system sources its data from a wide variety of hosts and platforms, and delivers both detailed and aggregate reporting across the full range of the client’s Wide Area Network. Among its users, the system has the distinction of being one of the most widely accepted and popular IT systems in Australian Defence.

Apt Business Solutions incorporated a number of highly original features into the design of the Defence system. Contact us to learn how we can leverage this experience to build a better Business Intelligence system for your organisation.
