Business Intelligence
Specialists in Business Analytics and Big Data, our Intuitive Analytics platform will help you unlock the hidden value in your data through our innovative ‘Train of Thought’ technique.
Our complete analytic platform allows business users to have total freedom to monetize data, delivering competitive advantage through increased margin, effectiveness and customer insight.
The expertise of our Management Team dates back to 1991 when we pioneered the use of exploratory analytics solutions with some of the largest and most forward thinking organizations in Europe, from Retail to Government; Financial Services to Telecoms. As ‘Data Warehousing’, ‘Data Mining’ and more recently ‘Big Data’ have become popular, we have constantly been honing our expertise in analytic techniques and at IDM, we have poured that expertise into the development of a new type of analytic platform.
Intuitive Analytics
Multiple Streams, Single View
Visualization
Data is ubiquitous. The vast majority of this data now provides nothing more than a sophisticated but deafening ‘background noise’. Rather than helping facilitate decision-making, this level of data distraction can hinder effective judgements. Using IDM’s Intuitive Analytics Platform, you can follow your train of thought and seamlessly explore multiple avenues of analysis, quickly peeling away the layers of data distraction to highlight the real drivers behind business performance indicators.
Data exists across multiple departments, in multiple systems with differing technical infrastructures and numerous formats, all of which conspire to make the process of extracting value technically complex. IDM’s Intuitive Analytics Platform allows you to seamlessly weave different strands of data from multiple sources into a single view, building up a crystal clear picture of business opportunities and issues. Our intuitive analytics fully harnesses both the hard data available within your business and your natural instincts.
The most challenging aspect of data is not just the huge quantity or complexity of information but the perceived difficulty in dealing with it; scaling the daunting cliff of data often requires specialist IT expertise which can limit the value gained. IDM’s Intuitive Analytics Platform breaks down the barriers of technical knowledge, freeing the link between IT knowledge and data manipulation with strong visualisation techniques such as our powerful Link Node Analysis (a human-friendly way of pinpointing data patterns), our flexible charts and our live reports with smart exceptions.
An Operational Platform
Train of Thought
Flexibility & Scalability
Uncovering hidden trends and patterns is only half the job, it’s just as important to be able to constantly monitor and quantify such trends. IDM’s Intuitive Analytics Platform is a fully operational solution containing powerful workflow capabilities, delivering rapid and automated analysis, along with easy to understand dashboards that allow the distribution of actionable information to a wider audience. This all adds up to significant increases in analytic effectiveness.
Critical business questions can often be impossible to fully define up-front in a way that allows a report/query to be written to deliver the answer. Instead, our analytic platform allows a professional business user to start with a rough idea and explore the data step-by-step until they find the answer they’re looking for. This “Train of Thought” process allows the subtleties of data to be taken into account and reduces the risk of being distracted by False Positives.
Our analytic platform does not require you to define your analytic requirements prior to implementation. It is fast enough to support Train of Thought analysis without the need to pre-calculate, aggregate or summarise the data. This approach ensures that the richness of your data is never lost. Our innovative data engine combines multiple detailed data sources (whilst maintaining the richness of all sources) and will scale cost effectively to billions of data records.
Implementation
Return on Investment
Adaptability
Our solutions are available either on-premise, hosted or Software as a Service. Implementation requires minimal client IT resource and can be rapidly deployed as a standard packaged solution or as a customized installation.
Always within 12 months and often much sooner. We work closely with our clients to agree RoI measures and assist in monitoring the results.
By providing unconstrained analysis of detailed data, our analytic platform is always ready to answer new questions against historic data.
Analytic Techniques
False Positives
Analytic Services
Our analytic platform seamlessly combines advanced visualisation techniques, statistics, Data Mining and Machine Learning algorithms and simulation techniques (such as Monte Carlo, Importance Sampling, Markov Chain Analysis and Association Rules), to deliver the benefits of predictive and descriptive data analysis to non-technical professionals.
Often patterns in data can be easily discovered, but after further analysis turn out to be either not actionable or not valuable. Train of Thought analysis allows these to be avoided before valuable resource is wasted.
Our team of highly skilled analysts are available to work with you as much or as little as required to share “best practise” and analytic experience with you to help drive best value.
