Introduction
The Company Background:
In order to be a truly meaningful partner to our clients we needed to be more than just single technology partners working within an area of their business. In order to grow scale and be able to contribute more significantly to our client’s business we needed to become more independent, more impartial and more focused on the customer’s end requirements. Journey began in 2013 to find like-minded companies that understood the opportunity and the value
- f being able to really service our clients requirements across their business.

Evolution of Customer Thinking
Over the last 5 years we have seen an evolution of what customers are asking of their BI technology. Companies that are attempting to drive greater performance within the
- rganisation need to create a clear link between the decisions that people are
being tasked to make, and how those decisions drive performance.
Principles of Understanding
Principles of Understanding
Context Understanding Data Information Knowledge Wisdom
Reports Analytics Predictive
Decision Profile Assessment
We recognise that there are 3 components of understanding that an
- rganisation needs to answer in order to determine its decision making
- maturity. This will help to drive the method in which the organisation
consumes information:
- 1. Understanding the Decision Profile
- Do users know what it means to succeed?
- What does success look like?
- Can we predict the range of possible outcomes?
- 2. Understanding the People
- Who are the key users of the solution?
- How do they currently execute reporting?
- Is information a part of the social systems of the business?
- How do they currently report?
- What is their technical level of competence?
- What information do they need to execute their job more efficiently?
Decision Profile Assessment
- 3. Understanding the Technology
- Does the business know what information it needs to have to complete
the project?
- Does the business have access to the information?
- Is it in a workable format for use?
- Which tools have been chosen for the execution of the information?
- Does the technology enable the users to work with their information?
The Decision Audit
Organisations are investing heavily in enabling their users through technology, however they are not completing the link to performance by making the information provided relevant to their users.

Rousseau Kluever & Kate McFarlane, Business Analyst

- Manufacturing Analytics
- Debtors/Creditors Analytics
- Human Resources Analytics
Leveraging Decision Inc.
Sales Analytics
The task of running and managing a sales organisation effectively is key to any business. Sales users need to be empowered with data that allows them to engage their customers far more effectively. Sales Analytics solutions should provide the users with a competitive edge to understand where the
- pportunity lies within the business.

- Sales organisation’s performance
- Customer analysis
- Product review and analysis
- Organic/Inorganic Growth
- Basket analysis
- In trade execution

Procurement Analytics
Organisations looking to cut costs and increase profitability need to have a view of their procurement across the organisation. Decision Inc. has combined years of expert procurement knowledge to introduce a rapid to deploy procurement analysis model. This model allows executives to visualise and analyse spend across the organisation as well as track performance of the organisation vs plan. The model enables users to gain a greater understanding of:
- Supplier Management and Performance
- Sourcing Strategies
- Buyer Analysis
- Materials and Commodities
- Pricing and Purchasing Strategy
- Requisitions and Materials Control
- Contract Spending
Finance Analytics
As organisations grow, the cost of running and managing a finance department increase due to the volume of work and the volume of data. As a critical component to the success of the organisation finance users need better visibility of the performance of the business. Enabling the business to manage and track cash flow, management accounts, debtors, treasury and creditors provides the business with a competitive advantage. The model enables users to gain a greater understanding of:
- Management Accounts
- Working capital requirements
- Forward cover and positions on currency
- Creditors and payments management
- Debtors performance and collection
- Trial balance analysis
Human Resources Analytics
Organisations looking to gain an advantage over competitors by leveraging their investment in people need to have greater visibility of the performance of their people as well as the profile of the people within their organisation. As often the largest cost component of the business, better understanding of the efficiency and utilisation of people presents a significant opportunity to run the organisation more effectively. The model enables users to gain a greater understanding of:
- Understand the headcount of the organisation
- Monitor and track leave and leave cost
- Understand the cost of overtime
- Manage staff attrition

Decision Accelerators: Summary
The Future of Analytics
Gavin Sheehan, Operations Manager
Future of Analytics
The market for BI and Analytics platforms to remain one of the fastest growing software markets The compound annual growth rate for the BI and Analytics space is expected to be 7% through 2017.
Future of Analytics
Data discovery is set to replace IT-authored static reporting for new implementations by 2015. Data discovery deployments are set to expand overall adoption beyond the current figure of 30%, thus driving market growth. Social capabilities, collaboration and the sharing of BI content and analysis is set to drive use and higher business value.
Future of Analytics
Mobile BI remains a key area for future growth and expansion of user bases and deployments. Integration of BI and performance management continues to drive value and use. Organisations increasingly investing in embedding traditional BI content that delivers optimised recommendations at the point of decision or action (increasingly mobile).
Future of Analytics
Potential inhibitors to market growth include a general fatigue with the big data hype and the reality of deployment challenges. There is a huge gap in governed data discovery. Cloud BI – 45% of respondents would put their mission critical BI in the cloud. This is up on the 30% recorded for each of the last 4 years.
Future of Analytics
There is a push to explore natural-language query technologies to expand access to the approximately 70% of users in organisations with no access to BI tools or limited statistical backgrounds.
Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense Qlik Sense is not a replacement for QlikView!
Qlik Sense Qlik Sense server is built on the new QIX platform (2nd generation QlikView indexing engine) Qlik Sense introduces true self service visualisation as opposed to QlikView’s guided analytics
Qlik Sense Guided Analytics
- Applications created by developers who put a lot of
thought into the data model, layout, charts and formulae and then applications are delivered to the end users that consume them.
- Users still have total freedom to explore and drill
down and discover both answers and questions but are limited in terms of creating new visualisations.
Qlik Sense Self Service Visualisation
- Not as pre-defined.
- User has freedom to create layout of his own and
new visualisations and charts that the developer might not have anticipated.
- Results in a far more engaged user and helps drive
adoption.
Qlik Sense Qlik Sense Capabilities
- Handling of multiple data sources
- Drag and drop dashboard creation
- Data story telling
- Improved visuals and aesthetics
- Mobile
Qlik Sense
Mobile
- Qlik Sense provides a unified, touch
based HTML 5 client.
- This ensures that Qlik Sense is technologically agnostic and
users will have the same experience regardless of the device.
- Qlik Sense focussed on the touch screen experience and is
