Whilst most large and global organisations have adopted analytics systems recent research reveals that many midmarket companies and organisations have been put off from investing in BI and analytics tools due to misperceptions about costs and risk. SA has been immersed in the financial consolidation, budgeting, planning, BI and analytics markets for over 15 years. We have witnessed first hand the significant upside organisations have experienced when they have embraced analytics technology. This ranges across large global organisations as well as SME and mid-sized companies; who have been able to utilise tools such as BOARD, Cognos TM1, Cognos BI, SAS, QlikView, Infor BI/CPM and the Microsoft BI Stack to integrate data from multiple source systems (e.g. ERP, GL, HR, CRM, Contract & EPOS systems) to obtain a unified picture of customers, supply chains, and front to back processes. Thus enabling more informed decisions about strategic investments and tactical resource allocation.

Are Predictive Analytics Truly Predictive?

whitePaper | April 19, 2023

Unplanned downtime is one of the most significant pain points for industrial manufacturers today, costing them an estimated $50 billion each year.
