Business Intelligence
A key differentiator with Collaborative is that we are a technology agnostic company, and as such,
our consultants provide completely impartial consulting advice and services. This is especially
important in the business intelligence (BI) arena as we make sure that whatever tools and
technologies that are recommended or implemented (such as visualization tools, data discovery
tools, mobile BI, tools for self-service BI / ad hoc or standard reporting technologies) address the
particular business issue or problem that a company faces.
Collaborative provides services that span the complete spectrum of the business intelligence
arena, anywhere from helping companies develop business intelligence strategies through to
implementation and support – in established as well as green ?eld environments.
Our consultants are well versed in the leading tools and technologies in the BI marketplace and
can gather requirements at the appropriate levels to ensure that any solution recommended or
implemented meets the business, technical, ?nancial, and support needs of an organization.
Depending upon the skill sets of the client and the availability of client resources, Collaborative
consultants will regularly work in blended teams.
Our point of view on business intelligence
The key to successful business intelligence initiatives is making sure that:
• Project team members – both business and technical – are willing and active participants in
the initiative and can dedicate the appropriate time that is needed.
• Requirements – both technical and business – are gathered at the appropriate level, clearly
documented and prioritized.
• Business rules, business terms and KPIs are clearly documented and agreed upon.
• Appropriate data is available or can be made available for testing.
• Appropriate environments are made available for the development, testing/QA, UAT and
production.
• Expectations are set correctly and constantly communicated.
• Business intelligence environments are constantly monitored and enhanced and adequately
supported.
• Initiatives are short in duration – 3-6 months or less – so that they give value often and as
quickly as possible to the business.

INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Collaborative Consulting Business Intelligence services
Strategy: Business intelligence strategies tend to be either
focused on solving a particular business problem or focused
around understanding a set of capabilities that the business
needs and recommending appropriate tool sets. Either way,
these strategies typically include gathering, documenting and
prioritizing business and technical requirements, data source
analysis, data modeling, technology component identi?cation,
data governance de?nition, and program management
de?nition.
Collaborative’s experienced consultants help clients create
comprehensive business intelligence strategies delivered in
the form of detailed project plans and high level roadmaps
that depict the right path toward success. We begin by
establishing a prioritized set of business and technical
requirements based on an assessment of your current
environment and technologies. We de?ne end state architecture
and communicate our implementation strategy, in a phased
approach with precise timeframes through high-level
engagements, with leadership and other key staff members.
Execution: Collaborative’s BI practitioners can help
organizations anywhere from gathering and documenting
requirements at an appropriate level through the complete
development spectrum. Our BI practitioners can guide
your organization from the installation and con?guration of
environments to the development and deployment of content
to a production environment. Collaborative’s practitioners
can develop content and documentation to clients’ own
development standards or recommend appropriate standards or
documentation.

Domestic Solution Center (CDSC) allow us to offer
comprehensive business intelligence services from strategy
