Business Intelligence - Data insights to drive business decisions

A well designed business intelligence solution gives you a 360 view of your business

How do you get that? Generally a successful business intelligence solution will consist of many integrated paltforms and services, but a few key ones are a strong ELT data platform, a fit for purpose and well-defined Data Warehouse hosted on a platform such as Azure Synapse Analytics or Microsoft Fabric, and a powerful, interactive business modelling and reporting platform such as Power BI. An let's not forget the importance Artificial Intelligence (AI) can play in our BI solutions.

Our Business Intelligence Consultancy Services Helping You Achieve Data Driven Decisions

PTR have been designing, developing and implementing business intelligence solutions since the eighties. Business Intelligence means different things to different people, but in its simplest definition Business Intelligence is about using the wealth of stored data that you have to build insightful reports and dashboards presenting your key business performance metrics and facilitating informed, data driven decisions to drive your business forward. Your data is one of you most valuable business assets.
