Introduction
Organisations often face the challenge of looking to deploy a Business Intelligence (BI) solution using one of the leading products in the marketplace - however, the wide range of Business Intelligence products that are available today means that the decision as to which is the "best" product to fit the specific needs of the customer is not an easy one.
The levels of functionality in all of the leading Business Intelligence products is very similar, with all products having strengths and weaknesses. Likewise, the priorities that each organisation has for their Business Intelligence system are unique to their particular business model.
That's where Maxima can help - Maxima are Business Intelligence specialists that deliver complex Business Intelligence solutions to a wide range of organisations using the best of breed products that are available in the marketplace. We know the functionality of each of the tools, and can help organisations understand what are the selection criteria that are most important to their organisation. Maxima can then work with the customer to "score" each of the Business Intelligence solutions against an agreed set of criteria, and thereby reach a quantitative assessment of which is the best product.
Key considerations that need to be included into any assessment:
- Does the Business Intelligence solution fit with the strategic direction of my IT infrastructure
- Will the Business Intelligence solution meet all of the key requirements of the end-user community
- Is there a migration path from the existing Business Intelligence tools
- Are there key areas of functionality that are vital to the user community
Working closely with the key IT and Business users within the organisation, the Maxima consultants will carry out the assessment and produce a detailed report of the findings. This will include an assessment of each of the key Business Intelligence tools, and a formal recommendation as to which Business Intelligence solution Maxima believes will be the best solution to meet the needs of the customer.
