Crimson

Business Intelligence Solutions

Critical insight shapes business decisions.

A new strategic Business Intelligence programme is often one of the few areas where IT can still add a significant competitive edge and deliver genuine culture change. Crimson can help you achieve both.

Many of our clients have a number of disparate management information systems producing different results that often cause confusion within the business.

Whether your business needs to know where to place commercial focus through sales and marketing activity, or is looking to minimise wastage, core KPI’s should be the basis of all informed business decisions.

Crimson has created a vendor-neutral best practice blueprint for Business Intelligence. Coupled with our knowledge of a wide range of supporting tools at the database, service bus, extract-transform-load (ETL), mart, reporting and portal levels, we are in a position to fast-track your objectives and significantly reduce implementation effort.

As part of our overall service offering Crimson makes use of onshore and offshore suppliers and we are skilled in acting in a primary supplier role. Crimson has many years experience in working with offshore partners and can significantly reduce costs in key BI stages (e.g. ETL) by applying the correct blend of onshore and offshore resource.
Our data mart consolidation programme provides:

“One version of the truth”
A review of hardware and software licence costs
