Your Data Made Easy
BI Audit: Data Analytics & Data Systems Review
WCI’s BI audit and data systems review is advantageous if you need to understand the inefficiencies of your business intelligence and data installations. In the business intelligence (BI) audit, clients will receive the experience and knowledge of WCI’s exposure to multiple platforms and client environments. Through this data management and BI audit, you can gain assurance that you are:
- Getting the most out of your deployments
- Are following best practices
- Ensuring efficiency across all systems
- Avoiding potentially impactful outages
What To Expect in the Business Intelligence Audit and Data Systems Review
WCI’s business intelligence auditors will come onsite to complete a thorough run-through of the existing business intelligence and data management systems. At the same time, WCI will advise clients on new features/products, and how these solutions should fit into their short-, mid-, and long-term deployment plans. Data analytics and objectives from the audit are meant to verify the use of best practices in the data management and BI environment. They also provide executives and management with an independent assessment of the BI and data warehousing infrastructure (and its maintenance). During the review, findings will be documented and our recommendations presented. It will also include a suggested approach to improve existing systems and recommendations on possible future data endeavors.
