Roadmap and Strategy
BI implementations are constantly evolving with the goal of having the right information delivered to the right person at the right time, in a manner that the user intuitively understands and can act upon. But instead of treating a BI roll out as a collection of projects where the next project is decided when the current one ends, it is better to have a clear understanding of the organizational goals and design an Information Strategy around the same. Once the broad strategy is finalized, the client can then plan for the Bi roll out roadmap and have a clear indication about how information is going be delivered across the enterprise. GrayMatter Consulting Services can engage with clients to provide pure consulting in designing the Strategic BI Blueprint, and develop the BI Roadmap

System Audit
GrayMatter's experience on the Pentaho Platform over the past few years has resulted in an expertise and understanding of the platform which is probably unrivalled. If your organization is currently on the Pentaho BI platform, or using any of the modules of Pentaho, but is not currently getting the performance or able to leverage the features of this robust and scalable platform, your firm should consult with GrayMatter and engage for GrayMatter to audit your existing solution. We can (and have) perform a thorough analysis of your existing solution using our unparalleled Pentaho expertise and provide recommendations to your implementation that would help you leverage the platform to the maximum.

POC
We are sure that your organization feels that Proof of Concept (POC) projects are tricky. They either go over budget, under-deliver, do not showcase exactly what you wanted, or a host of stuff that could go wrong. This is because the understanding between client and consulting company is always tenuous. The consulting company wants as short an engagement as possible, while the client wants to get an overview of as many things as possible. In this tussle, most organizations end up settling between what they want to see and what they agree to see within a POC.

GrayMatter has built, over its years of experience on the Pentaho platform, a timeline based, cost locked, outline ready, POC project. The idea for the GrayMatter POC was to have a ready to go POC that will showcase Pentaho as a BI Platform, while providing the clients with the ability to communicate where the focus of the POC should be, for e.g. Dashboarding, or Analytical Reporting. If these interest your organization, the content of the POC is modified, in conjunction with you, to lend a focus on these areas to help your organization get the proof in the concept delivered. Timeline are not modified, costs are not changed, additional features of the platform are still showcased (only in not so much detail), and the client gets the full experience of a BI platform. Now isn’t this what a POC should be all about, to enable you to take a concrete decision regarding something as important as a BI Platform for your organization? Contact us for discussing how GrayMatter can help showcase why Pentaho is the best BI Platform for your organization by performing a Proof of concept, and give you the Proof in a cost effective manner.
