BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SOLUTIONS

Business Intelligence (BI) has been described as "the intersection of available information and the needs of business." The pathways leading out from this intersection can take you to structures as complex as data warehouses or to applications as simple as a spreadsheet. As delivered by HRA, BI offers a holistic approach to business information, from access to analysis to communication.

AT HRA, we know there are no "one size fits all" BI solutions. We tailor our services to each particular client"s needs and resources. While designing a database may be a necessary next step for one business, a simple Excel reporting tool may be all another one needs or can afford. We always design our BI solutions around client need, rather than forcing clients to conform to a cookie-cutter approach that may not suit their requirements or budgets.

In general terms, our BI services encompass custom application development (small-to-large applications); data management (database setup, data manipulation, data mining, etc.); and reporting (using Access, SPSS, Web-based applications and more.)

The HRA Information Systems Group focuses on building BI infrastructures to help our clients make more intelligent, more reliable business decisions. Our objectives are to give you the ability to:
