Increasingly, the ability to manage data and information is a key differentiator. Organizations that manage information successfully – via business intelligence – have a clear competitive advantage. No wonder that business intelligence is gaining significance − and not only among major corporations.

Business intelligence means making data, analyses, and other information available in a targeted manner. It allows the user to gain deep insights into the organization of the company, it makes relationships with customers and suppliers transparent, and it permits detailed views of business operations.

The key challenge of information management is to integrate information from different systems: from SAP® software as well as third-party applications, either legacy systems or other business warehouse systems. The SAP NetWeaver® Business Warehouse (SAP NetWeaver BW) component harmonizes and cleans all available data, enriching it and evaluating it.

Ecenta identifies two major opportunities in business intelligence: greater efficiency (which improves the competitive position) and the long-term reduction of business costs.

To achieve these goals, we implement applications that are flexible and easily maintained − applications that are based on business standards and fully customized to your company’s business needs.
