INTELLIGENCE - BI
The information
that matters.
To decide.
Information better delivered produce more informed decisions.
Implementing BI in the company means to determine the real levers that must guide decisions, to then have the necessary strength and knowledge to support them.
We chose BIRST by INFOR, the solution that breaks the paradigms of traditional BI – made of data builders or viewers – because it transforms all information consumers into intelligence producers.
