Understand your business, uncover potential for improvement, create the basis for decision-making

More Competitive Thanks to Data-Driven Decisions

In an age shaped by rising costs, statutory requirements like the GDPR and a constant shortage of specialist staff, business intelligence projects are becoming a challenge. Companies are faced with IT-specific decisions every day: On-premises or cloud? Data warehouse (DWH) or data lake? Make or buy? How can you develop an efficient, robust and user-friendly business intelligence system that is also both secure and scalable?

The idea behind business intelligence (BI) is to help companies to understand themselves and the market better, enabling them to elevate their success to a new level. As digitalization has advanced, BI has become a crucial standard in the success of any modern company – and also forms the basis for implementing high-performance AI applications. The question today is not whether data analysis is conducted on large (big data) or medium-sized quantities of data, but how well it is implemented. This challenge extends into every aspect of business and affects companies of every size and industry. That is exactly where SVA comes in. Taking a provider-neutral approach, we help you to select the tools you need and implement use cases with the appropriate architecture.

The demands and requirements on business intelligence today require a modern BI environment that is as versatile as it is accessible. That makes it all the more important that both non-technical users and experts alike to have the right tools to hand. SVA’s portfolio of solutions includes powerful functions like machine learning and predictive analytics, enabling data to be visualized and processed in real time, and guaranteeing simple scalability to meet your performance requirements.

The BI architectures we have designed can be accessed remotely if necessary – giving you the freedom of access from anywhere. We support the integration of a diverse range of data sources and encourage collaboration on analytical tasks. Whatever your specific requirements – we help you to select and introduce a bespoke BI environment that enables every department to use the right reports and dashboards for their analyses.

Using AI in BI

Supporting forward-thinking decision-making

Modern AI and machine learning technologies are indispensable when it comes to leveraging existing data to gain more profound insights into patterns and anomalies. These approaches enhance the process of extracting information and provide a solid base for decision-making.

To integrate advanced AI systems into the BI environment in ongoing scenarios, data needs to be extracted from relevant systems and prepared. This data is then used in AI models and tools to reveal patterns and anomalies. Our SVA experts support you not only with the extraction and preparation (ETL/ELT) of the required data, but also in visualizing the insights generated in a user-friendly way, enabling you to uncover and identify patterns and anomalies.

Self-service BI

Simple, secure access to your own analyses

The self-service BI approach often directly accelerates the BI processes and enables creative users to uncover new insights from their data. This is often the preferred approach, providing a uniform data source as a ‘single source of truth.’ Data quality and user-friendliness is crucial, ensuring that users can trust the results and navigate the data with minimal effort. We use our expertise to support our customers in establishing and providing a high-quality ‘single source of truth.’

Immediate insights and control

Real-time analytics

Some use cases involving real-time monitoring and control require business data in near or real time. The immediate insights derived from this data enables swift decision-making, as the data reflects the very latest events. This demands a platform capable of processing streaming data and visualizing the latest data appropriately. We support you in implementing these solutions, whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud.

Transparency and security for your sensitive information

Data governance and security

The data used for business intelligence often contains business-critical information whose handling needs to be governed by clear, defined data governance policies. Processing, storing and accessing this data must be subject to clear rules. At the same time, transparent traceability using data lineage and data catalogs – from the data source to data use – is essential. The data standards and strategies derived from such data governance policies are instrumental in guaranteeing the accuracy, completeness and consistency of the entire BI data landscape. When implementing BI platforms, we carefully consider and adhere to the key aspects of your defined data governance principles.

Powerful BI functions for greater flexibility and agility

Cloud and hybrid cloud architectures

Thanks to constantly growing data quantities and ever higher performance requirements, innovative BI platforms often need to be implemented in the cloud. Yet there are some instances of personal or sensitive data that should not be stored in the cloud. In such scenarios, hybrid cloud architectures have emerged as highly attractive solutions that meet diverse requirements. It is imperative that the entire platform implements this hybrid approach effectively, while consistently delivering high performance. Our comprehensive consulting services help you achieve this.
