For the past 16 years, Pentalog High Tech has provided assistance and project management services for the development and integration of decision making solutions for its clients.
A Business Intelligence project breaks downs into the following: 70% of the time corresponds to analysis and the remaining 30% is devoted to the development and implementation of the solution.
We can handle your project from start to finish, i.e. we can integrate an iteration of your existing decision-making process.
Advantages
Sharing information within the company: the information is no longer stored in spreadsheet files but becomes accessible to everyone.
Controlling data: the data is checked before being disseminated, grouped by functional sectors; each piece of data has a single functional meaning.
Improving productivity: report creators no longer have to search for or process information. All the data is included in a unique repository.
Highlighting reconciliation errors.

Local services on the customer's premises:
Learning your profession and analyzing your data in your premises by one or several consultants.
User interviews to understand how they view and use their data.
Offshore services:
Creation of ETL mapping when the scope of data to be processed is completely defined and officially recorded.
First iteration with the standard processes and then with the more complex business processes of the company.
