MACFADDEN’S BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PRACTICE
At Macfadden, we understand that the key goal of federal
fnancial Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems is to
provide actionable data to support informed business
operations and management decisions. Macfadden’s Business
Intelligence (BI) approach integrates fnancial and other
cross-functional data to provide meaningful insights to
optimize vital fnancial and business operations. We leverage
BI tools and capabilities to provide faster, more reliable and
consistent information to meet regulatory and compliance
needs. With over two decades of experience providing
support to HHS and DHS, and expertise in Oracle BI and
Oracle Performance Management tools, Macfadden turns
data into knowledge that improves operational performance
and delivers cost savings for agencies across government.
Macfadden works with you to develop value-added BI solutions, with delivery models customized to suit your
organizational needs. We call our BI methodology “PIE” - a three-phased approach designed to help
organizations Plan their BI environment for their business needs, Implement the desired approach, and Execute
it to support performance management, planning and forecasting, and regulatory and compliance reporting.

BI Planning
Most federal organizations’ ERP investments have generated terabytes of fnancial and other operational data. Today’s
challenge is in integrating, consolidating, and analyzing this data to enable executives and managers to objectively measure
the performance of their business operations. The frst step is planning, with three key elements:
Requirements Data Tools
Our experts work with you to
defne your BI needs. We assess
infrastructure, identify business
needs, and defne the BI vision.
We review available BI tools to
determine which is right for your
organization’s needs, drawing on
our experience with numerous tools
including Oracle Business Intelli-
gence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE).
We identify the types of data sources
to be included in the BI solution.
Macfadden’s proven approach
identifes efcient, cost-efective
data integration methods to prepare
data for BI solutions.
Macfadden uses structured operations with Agile methodology
to optimize BI delivery. This includes project planning, detailed
requirements, design, development, testing, and production
deployment. Macfadden follows management expectations
derived from strategic requirements to help design meaningful
analytics and catalyze business improvement. Our implementa-
tion methodology includes:

DELIVERING Results. EXCEEDING Expectations.
Based on our sound implementation process, Macfadden will
help you execute and optimize your O&M activities. Our
clients successfully use their BI applications to:
BI Execution
Develop Clear Priorities – Macfadden defnes critical
business drivers and performance indicators early in the
development process; ensuring our BI solutions identify
and address the most pressing fnancial management
priorities.
Perform Accurate Analysis – As business needs and
regulatory requirements change, Macfadden continually
updates and improves the metrics and BI tools which
support them, so information generated remains relevant
and analysis refects real-time conditions.
Make Informed Decisions – Macfadden works to
increase cross-functional information exchange across
stakeholder groups and lines of business, and incorporates
predictive analysis. As a result, our clients can forecast the
impacts of new projects to allocate resources efectively.
Case Study DHS
Macfadden provides business operations solutions for the
U.S. Coast Guard’s Core Accounting System (CAS), an
enterprise-wide Oracle Federal Financials system. We
create new system alerts and reports, analyze and improve
business processes, and automate data extraction so USCG
can analyze data more efciently and improve operations
across the agency.
At HHS, Macfadden provides PMO support for an
enterprise-wide implementation of an Oracle OBIEE
fnancial BI system, which integrates data from multiple
core fnancial systems. The new system provides improved
data standardization and more efcient, cost-efective
operations and maintenance across HHS.
Macfadden also worked with the FDA Center for Tobacco
Products (CTP) to index over a terabyte of regulatory data.
By integrating disparate collections of information, our BI
solution allowed CTP to easily access millions of documents
and reduced search times from as long as 30 minutes to
less than one second.
