About Insight Business Solutions

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICES

BI For FinanceBusiness Intelligence solutions enable Finance to collect accurate data from multiple sources and perform the analyses required to answer questions about corporate financial performance.

Business Intelligence tools and solutions of greatest important to Finance:

BI for Purchasing

BI for HR

BI solutions improve the effectiveness of purchasing functions through improving the quality of management information that is available through integrating the raw data output from separate systems into a single data warehouse with rules and processes established to improve the quality of the underlying data. In this way, BI solutions can support the insight generation required to deliver cost savings that have a direct impact on the profit and loss account.

Planning, budgeting and forecasting - contribution,

aggregation, manipulation, and approval of the

financial plan on a periodic or continual basis.

Financial consolidations and reporting - legal and

statutory consolidation systems, along with more

generalised financial statement generation capabilities.

Financial analytics and dashboards - profitability

applications, role-specific dashboards, metrics, and

specific financial analytics for detailed financial

processes.

Financial governance, risk management,

and compliance - governance and

control requirements that include

national and international regulations,

such as Sarbanes-Oxley or the International

Financial Reporting Standards.

Scorecards and strategy - methodology-based

scorecards, such as the Balanced Scorecard, and

strategy management applications.

BI solutions will be central to any human capital management

systems strategy that is developed. Such a strategy should have

the objective of enabling the company to measure, simulate,

analyse and identify the impact of human capital actions on the

company’s value creation process. This will again require the

integration of multiple data sources into a single warehouse

enabling the desired reporting and analysis to be completed

quickly and accurately.

Industry-specific experience, with a thorough

understanding of the banking and insurance sector’s

intricacies

Business knowledge that is specific to risk management

and related regulations

BI and Enterprise Information Management information

technology solutions (data quality, repositories

construction, unstructured data management and data

integration)

Mathematical, statistical and data mining expertise

required for risk modeling

Consulting, project management experience and project

management assistance

Systems audit capabilities, both in terms of data quality

and processing

Insight Business Solutions provides support for companies

across the entire risk control initiative, from situation audit

and analysis through to continuous improvement

programs; from needs identification to project delivery and

acceptance.

BI for Production & Supply Chain

BI for RISK

Supply chain management is the management of a network

of supply chain partners and the related information flow.

It covers the whole logistics flow from suppliers to custom-

ers and distributors, and involves multiple management

processes from sales forecasts through production

planning and production management to order and

delivery management.

Insight Business Solutions can support Supply Chain

Managers in both project definition and implementation,

the latter involving the integration of BI solutions that

provide the information to enable the optimisation of

supply chain management, including analytic reporting and

corporate performance management.

Risk management is becoming increasingly important in all

businesses. This is most notably the case with banks and

insurance companies where regulatory frameworks (Basel

II and Solvency II) have been introduced to ensure risks are

managed appropriately. However, the field is gradually

extending to include all other business sectors, not least

because the credit crunch and subsequent recession

have highlighted the impact that failing to manage

risk effectively has on corporate performance.

Even if there is no formal regulatory require-

ment, external stakeholders such as debt

providers and shareholders increas-

ingly expect risks to be pro-actively

identified and mitigated

Insight Business Solutions has established a

practice and dedicated offerings for the manage-

ment of Governance, Risks and Compliance. Insight

Business Solutions risk experts have the required skills

and experience to design and implement solutions that can

provide risk managers with an integrated view over a large

range of risks.

Since 1997, our risk consulting teams have developed solid

experience in the integration of risk management systems

within financial institutions.

THE RISK PRACTICE OFFERS THE FOLLOWING:

BI for IT

Moreover, our risk consultants have a full appreciation of

the solutions offered by the different partner software

vendors. Insight Business Solutions partnerships with the

key risk management software vendors ensure that it has

access to the most recent market information regarding

tools and methodology, as well as a proven

implementation capability.

KEY RISKS THAT THE RISK PRACTICE IS

INVOLVED IN HELPING CLIENTS MANAGE

INCLUDE:

Credit risk

Market risk

Liquidity risk

Operational risk

Economic capital

Regulatory capital (Basel II and Solvency II)

Anti-fraud and anti-money laundering

Environmental risks (carbon accounting –

determination, reduction initiatives and greenhouse gas

emissions tracking)

Laws on new economic regulations

Health, safety and environment

Information systems are central to any risk management

initiative, whether it involves regulatory compliance or just

good business practice. BI solutions enable risk planning,

risk outcome analysis and risk control as well as the

reporting necessary to prove regulatory compliance.

In the medium term, cost reduction opportunities can be

delivered through application rationalisation. Areas to be

investigated are licenses for redundant tools, paying for

all software features when only a minority is actually

used, maintaining multiple products repositories when

a master repository and unmanaged copies are

enough and grouping the core management rules

shared by everyone in a unique BI system

The energy efficiency of IT production can

also be increased, for example by

migrating all storage to a green

data centre, reviewing whether it

would be more advantageous for the

company to subscribe to an application

instead of owning it and only pay for actual

utilisation and developing internal skills or

services centres to ensure efficient and effective

service supply

Senior management reporting is usually seen as a consoli-

dation of business and local decision support systems.

However, an alternative means of reporting can be

achieved if a unique corporate system is established, and

then made available to local systems. In this case, for

strategic reporting, the adaptation effort then takes place

in the local systems and not the corporate system.

Insight Business Solutions has experience of both develop-

ing the necessary frameworks and delivering the necessary

solutions in the form of Master Data Management (MDM)

or Business Rules Management Systems (BRMS) projects.

Implementation of such systems ensures regular, fair and

compliant reporting to senior management.

Insight Business Solutions also has experience in assessing

the contribution of IT activities to the company’s value

creation process.

IT functions face a number of challenges – correlating IT

provision with service quality, maintaining proprietary

systems, reducing costs (particularly energy consumption)

and managing data in an environment of evolving regula-

tion.

HOW BI CAN HELP IT MANAGERS OVERCOME THEIR

CHALLENGES ?

Correlating IT costs with service quality requires tracking

SLAs through regular measurements stored in a database,

determining costs analysis based on quality criteria and

generating appropriate reporting.

Equally when it comes to reducing costs without hindering

service delivery development, there are several possible

solutions, all of which require high quality management

information.

Undertake a brief audit to identify wasted applications,

i.e. those applications that are forgotten and are rarely, if

at all, used. Experience has shown that wastage results

from restructurings, the natural evolution of business

processes, and the approach to development favoured by

IT
