Automated decision-making processes, efficient license management, and optimized data analysis – or in short: The ISR Data Analytics Solutions. What advantages do our customers gain?
We all know: With great power comes great responsibility… but also great new opportunities. This also applies to our collaboration with IBM. As we have been an IBM Platinum Partner since April 2023, our customers particularly benefit from this. In the first part, we already discussed the advantages in the area of Business Automation; now we will focus on the second major area where both our potential new and existing customers can benefit: Data Analytics.
Analytics, or the W-questions as a basis for business success: What is happening? Why is it happening? What will happen, and what should we do about it? The foundation: Data! The volume and diversity of available enterprise data are continuously increasing. Concurrently, markets are accelerating relentlessly, which increases the pressure to make decisions based on this data ever more quickly and frequently.
Data Analytics: Herein Lie Hidden Treasures
The X marks the spot, but where does this treasure lie? Perhaps you already possess all the information needed to unearth it, but are not yet aware. Automated or semi-automated decision-making is becoming increasingly prevalent. These developments necessitate adjustments to existing analytics concepts and systems. Our Data Analytics Solutions platform forms the basis for our modular solution series for analysis and reporting at ISR. Whether it's IBM Cognos, TM1, Db2, or DataStage, our solutions are specifically tailored to the requirements of our customers in the Line of Business and Enterprise sectors.
- Reporting with Cognos Analytics Collection, analysis, and presentation of data to support decision-making and performance evaluation: Enter IBM Cognos. With Cognos Analytics, you can create customized reports, dashboards, and visualizations to track key metrics, identify trends, and make data-driven decisions. Whether you wish to operate Cognos Analytics on-premise, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment, our Analytics team is available to support you in all aspects!
- Planning is Half the Battle! In addition to traditional BI solutions, statistical methods also contribute to refining forecasts and automating planning processes. Technology has now reached a level of maturity that makes predictive planning approaches practical and relevant for many enterprises. Planning Analytics, also known as IBM Cognos TM1, is a powerful solution from IBM for planning, budgeting, and forecasting. It assists companies in making informed decisions by providing a single, unified platform for data analysis, modeling, and reporting.
- The Stage is Set: DataStage for Your Data Warehouse Data provisioning for the data warehouse remains the most time-consuming step in Business Intelligence. IBM InfoSphere DataStage is a mature and scalable platform for the visual development of ETL and ELT processes. It offers interfaces to cloud and big data platforms, along with professional extensions for Data Governance, Data Quality Management, and Master Data Management. In data warehouse projects, we frequently leverage the advanced technology of IBM InfoSphere DataStage. Especially in conjunction with DB2 and Netezza databases, ISR develops seamless solutions for your requirements.
- Keeping Pace with the Times: Data Management In the future, data warehouses will also operate in a distributed manner and orchestrate complex data communication processes. This necessitates innovative technologies and systems based on cross-system metadata. This metadata provides insights into which analytical information resides in which systems and how it is utilized in various communication processes. Here too, we support our customers in progressively leveraging the opportunities of digital transformation and mastering the challenges of enormous data volumes and diversity through effective data management.
These four areas collectively form the foundation of the ISR Data Analytics Solution. Leveraging IBM software, ISR provides comprehensive support for the necessary adjustments, ranging from the conceptualization of functional, technical, and organizational aspects to the successful implementation and ongoing operation of your Data Analytics solutions.
