STRATEGY AND ANALYSIS

Everything starts with strategy. When mapping a knowledge strategy for your company, Braintapper will help you answer three important questions:

• Where are we now?
• Where do we want to be?
• How are we going to get there?

Other vendors might just tell you to install a certain piece of software and be done with it, but a well-planned solution always wins in the long run. Braintapper is vendor agnostic, which means that you're provided with a solution that meets your needs today, and in the future.

Once you know what you need to do, it's time to collect requirements. What are your key data sources, and how are they linked? Does your business suffer from more than one version of the truth? The Braintapper analysis phase will help you understand your data, and how it can be converted into actionable information.

REPORTS AND DASHBOARDS

Reports and dashboards are the bread and butter of disseminating and visualizing information throughout your organization.

Not all reports, however, are created equal. It's easy to generate pie charts, analog dials and list reports, but it's a whole other thing to present the best information in the proper format.

We're big fans of information visualization know-it-alls like Edward Tufte and Stephen Few, and try to implement their best practices into all of our report and dashboard designs.

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

It's easy to forget that the boundaries of information run beyond your company's hard drives and databases. The knowledge of your staff is an invaluable part of your company's intellectual property.

An abundance of information is stored in documents, e-mails, and in the actual memory of your team members. This information is easily lost as people leave your organization.

Braintapper can help your business collect and trap this qualitative information with wikis, enterprise search and other knowledge management tools. Numbers are important, but so are ideas and words.

DATA WAREHOUSING

The very mention of a data warehouse used to instill fear in even the most heroic of IT managers. The license costs alone would hit the six figure range.

It's a good thing that the world has changed significantly over the past ten years.

The starting price for a data warehouse no longer starts with six figures. With open source software, your license costs can start at ZERO. You just need to spend your money and effort on development.

An experienced advisor like Braintapper can help you along the road towards a data warehouse in a short period of time.
