Why you need BI

The goal of business intelligence (BI) is to turn data into information, and information into insight.
— Carly Fiorina, Former CEO of HP

Nowadays companies have more data than ever, but few know how to effectively leverage this asset.

Data is like oil - its true value is unlocked when processed.

It needs to be extracted, refined, and put into a form that’s valuable for the end consumer.

BI is the necessary process of transforming this raw data into insights so you can build a better future for your company.

All businesses want to utilize their data, but companies have obstacles stopping them from considering a BI strategy.

Top BI related challenges for businesses:

Data integration from different sources

  • How easy it is for our team to interact with our current BI and reporting tools?

What our partners and clients have to say

Oliver Lamaca, Point11 Consulting

"I hired Elara to conduct some Power BI work for one of my important clients.

The Elara process was transparent to the end customer and the timeframe and cost of the work was exactly as quoted.

The process that Elara uses to complete work is better than BI partners I’ve used in the past. I highly recommend using Elara for any project work in the future"

Alex Visscher, The Visscher Team

"Personally, I was looking for a way to have visibility for all my businesses in QuickBooks.

That’s when I engaged Elara to use Power BI to create a dashboard that would get me insights to save time.

They architected an entire solution that was delivered on time and on budget, exactly how Elara laid it out. They understood exactly how to meet our requirements both on the Power BI and ERP side."
