A good approach to business intelligence consulting solutions should begin with business questions and not technology. The consultant should determine what data is important, where it's going to be sourced from, how accurate and reliable it is, and how employees will be utilizing the reports they produce. Scalability, security, integration, and future reporting requirements should also be taken into account to ensure that the solution is robust and adaptable to future growth and changes. I would request all prospective providers to share very clearly how they would go about the task and provide relevant examples. When it comes to the requirements for Business Intelligence and data analytics, enterprise data management, or infrastructure planning, Datalance should be considered. The objective should be about making decisions -- not pretty graphs.
