Business Intelligence Solution 
Business Intelligence can be simply described as the discipline of using existing data inside customers’ IT systems to create information that assists in agile and accurate business decision-making.
Through its strong skill and resource in this market area, 3fifteen assists its customers by building software solutions that facilitate the investigation and analysis of existing business data, to ultimately deliver dashboards, reports and other management information sources which ease decision-making.
3fifteen’s approach to Business Intelligence starts with it gaining an understanding of the customer’s business information requirements. To gain this insight, 3fifteen employs the ‘24-ways’ toolset.
Once the customer’s business information requirements have been identified, the architecture of the entire Management Information System (MIS) is designed and implementation follows in iterative cycles. This ensures quick value-delivery to the customer, while simultaneously keeping the project focused on the project’s long-term goal.
Tools employed by 3fifteen across the entire solutions lifecycle include Microsoft SQL 2005, Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, the highly customisable ProClarity (Microsoft PerformancePoint) enterprise business intelligence analytical toolset, performance management tools such as Business Scorecard Manager and third party dashboard products such as Decision Support Panel (DSP).
