Business intelligence consulting: when data is available but decisions are still made in the dark
Many companies have more data than ever before - and yet many decisions are still made on the basis of Excel spreadsheets that are laboriously compiled by hand. Different departments calculate with different figures because there is no standardized database. Reports are produced days late. Dashboards provide contradictory values or are so complex that nobody understands them.
The result: valuable knowledge remains buried in systems instead of supporting decisions. And the questions that managers and specialist departments ask on a daily basis either remain unanswered or are answered with outdated figures.
This is precisely where professional business intelligence consulting comes in. Business intelligence refers to the systematic collection, processing and visualization of company data with the aim of making well-founded decisions faster and on a better basis. When set up correctly, BI becomes the central decision-making infrastructure for management, controlling, sales and operational teams alike.
At prodot, we support business intelligence projects from the data strategy to the selection of the right technologies and the company-wide rollout. We know from experience where typical BI projects fail: due to unclear data architecture, lack of governance, lack of user acceptance or because the finished solution fails to meet the actual information needs of the users. We ensure that this does not happen.
The concrete benefits of professional business intelligence consulting
Well-structured business intelligence changes the way a company makes decisions. Instead of waiting for outdated Excel evaluations, up-to-date, reliable figures are available at all times and for all relevant users. In concrete terms, this means
- All departments work with the same defined key figures - no more contradictory figures in meetings
- Decision-makers receive relevant KPIs in real time, without having to wait for IT or manual evaluations
- Departments create their own evaluations based on certified data sets, without an IT ticket for every new request
- A clean data architecture creates the basis for advanced analytics and AI applications that are built on a reliable database
- Clear governance structures ensure that BI solutions remain secure, compliant and maintainable in the long term

Business intelligence as the foundation for advanced analytics and AI
Business intelligence is not an end point, but a foundation. If you set up a clean BI infrastructure today, you create the prerequisites for everything that builds on it: Advanced analytics, machine learning and AI applications that work on a reliable, consistent database.
Descriptive analytics answers the question of what happened - and is the core of classic business intelligence. Diagnostic analytics goes one step further and investigates why something happened. Predictive analytics uses machine learning models to predict what will happen next. And prescriptive analytics recommends specific measures based on these predictions.
prodot accompanies you along this entire path: from the BI strategy to the development of the data architecture to the integration of AI functions - all from a single source, with a team that understands both the data side and the business processes.
