Bringing more than 15 years of experience in Planning & Controlling, Decision Making processes, and covering many industries, SDG had developed and fine tuned its innovative Management Intelligence (MI) approach long before BPM and analytical applications appeared in the marketplace.

Our approach is designed to let our clients leverage on Business Intelligence technologies and capitalize on leading BPM practices.

We provide:

• assessment of data intensive internal processes;
• business expertise and IT skills;
• focus on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) rather than on standard reporting;
• web-enabled analytical applications;
• customized design and implementation fitting specific business needs.

MI builds upon traditional analysis in order to perform effective planning and forecasting, practices that greatly enhance the value of your data. A solid MI plan will not only analyze business processes within a company, but it will also link them together. This is achieved through a combination of both business understanding and planning models.

Interlocking the strengths of BPM with those of web reporting, MI leads the way to develop a business that manages not only relationships within the corporation, but also those with the other members of the value chain. By including everyone from vendors to customers, your organization can become an Extended Enterprise, one that is more intimately involved with supply and demand. This is the ultimate goal of the Management Intelligence approach: to develop an Extended Enterprise.

The path to the Extended Enterprise includes the improvement of operational effectiveness and solidification of competitive advantage. This is accomplished through the design of up-to-date Business Intelligence processes and the development of solutions across key functional areas such as financial and strategic planning, sales and marketing, and supply chain management. Our BI experts and management consultants provide customers with insight on how to address business goals, collect and analyze information, and improve decision making process. Our involvement then extends through the design and implementation of the "Knowledge" Extended Enterprise vision.
