In the past, business reporting was static and hard-wired. Changing even the slightest criteria resulted in loud moans from database managers, as well as sky-high estimates for custom-built solutions. Again and again, business leaders would ask for a report only to hear "we didn’t know you needed that data when we built the system. Now there’s no way to get it."
Business Intelligence enables reporting systems that are both powerful and flexible. Reports can be created as needed by business people with no programming expertise. Best of all, these state-of-the-art solutions are built quickly and cost-effectively. Greystone Solutions recently:
- Created a system that calculates competitive price matrices for a hardware manufacturer, generating millions of dollars in revenue each year
- Helped a food distributor track precisely what products are delivered, when they arrive, and if any inventory remains for drivers to promote en route
- Gave one retail web site a bird’s eye view of their sales activity, including the number of unique site visitors and the exact source of online sales
