CSI's Advisory Service Nets Win for National Retail Chain
Business Challenge
The $2 billion national retail chain selected CSI from among a number of vendors to assess their enterprise information environment — including their nascent data warehouse program — through CSI’s Data Warehouse Best Practices Site Assessment, Strategy and Planning service followed by CSI’s Retainer-Based Mentoring, Advisory and Staff Development service. CSI was selected because of its experience and strategic focus on leveraging corporate information, as well as its vendor-neutral approach to enterprise information management.
CSI Solution
Sometimes all an organization needs is an experienced, knowledgeable group to help set direction and provide data points that they may not be aware of to help them make the right decisions. CSI has a model for advisory and staff development successfully used over the years, always with high degrees of success. With this service, CSI can advise clients on any number of key initiatives from guiding principles and architecture development to ETL design and strategy to tool selection and implementation. This type of advisory service enables our clients to optimize their corporate data usage throughout all levels of the enterprise. Advisory clients benefit from the expertise and ongoing advice of experience and knowledge leadership from a team who knows their businesses, their programs and their challenges. We have advised dozens of highly successful programs worldwide — some to recognized Best Practices attainment.
Return on Investment
Under the advisory of industry thought leaders, the client implemented several initiatives focused on optimizing their corporate performance. The client was able to leverage more fully the Business Objects technology they had already invested in. They have since progressed the implementation of BusinessObjects™ Workforce Analytics, Sales and Marketing Effectiveness Analytics and Product Performance Analytics, as well as built a series of management reports and executive dashboards. CSI’s advisory services have helped this client achieve a greater depth of knowledge of their corporate performance which will result in enhanced customer profiling, optimization of inventory assortment by location, product performance and management insights and financial performance and management insights.
