These visualizations follow best practices, improve reporting, and encourage widespread adoption. The right analytics go beyond basic reporting to reveal the causes of unexpected results and enhance decision-making.

Increase analytics adoption and usage through consistency and ease of use.

We build analytic warehouses that unify data from different sources. When everyone is looking at the same data, you improve collaboration and gain consistent interpretations. Well-designed key performance indicators simplify and rationalize decision making.

Case Study: Rosendin Electric

Rosendin had recently begun migrating from Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) 11.1.1.7 to OAC and had high expectations for their new system but were finding it difficult to get timely, quality results from it. At Oracle’s suggestion, they reached out to Vlamis and we identified root problems with the way OAC was being implemented. By taking a different approach to the implementation and capitalizing on OAC’s Data Visualization interface, we were able to demonstrate the true value of OAC to them.
