Our affordable, fixed-price Business Intelligence Rapid Review Assessment gives clients
a proven means for understanding their current environment and how well-positioned
they are for beginning the agile BI journey. This includes an assessment
of existing BI solutions and capabilities, and identification of opportunities
to deliver improved BI solutions and capabilities. We believe that it’s
important to know where you are before you undertake a new direction.
Description
The Business Intelligence Rapid Review Assessment offering provides a fast and efficient
assessment and analysis of the current BI environment which covers the following:
- Quality and satisfaction of existing BI solutions and delivery capabilities,
from both business and IT perspectives
- Gap analysis comparing the current information quality management (IQM)
capabilities to best practices
- Identification of opportunities to improve BI delivery and management
Our Experts have extensive experience in implementing business intelligence
and enterprise performance management solutions. Our team also has experience
in performing IT assessments, designing enterprise architectures, developing
master data management programs, and developing actionable migration plans
and roadmaps.
We team with our clients to define an effective agile BI environment based
on their goals and business requirements, and educate their team in the
process. We believe that this is important so our clients can take ownership
for the recommendations, and are capable of making continual adjustments
to their BI capabilities as changing business needs demand.

Approach
TAC has a standard, web-based assessment tool which we will utilize in
the Business Intelligence Rapid Review. Work effort may be conducted on-site or off-site
as follows:
- TAC will work with client’s IT staff to gather the information for review.
- Work effort is limited to two days for data gathering, one day for analysis,
and one day for an interactive presentation of findings and recommendations.
- TAC assumes client has readily available inventory of all BI related products,
processes and services, and will send to TAC within two business days upon
request.
- We also assume that selected IT and user staff are available for completing
our assessment and for interviews. Our preferred approach is to conduct
a workshop to deliver the education and facilitate the survey completion.
- TAC will deliver findings and recommendations within seven business days
after receipt of all information/data from the client, and present to the
client’s senior management team.
