Business Intelligence tools offer many advantages to government agencies such as dashboard creation, custom reporting and analytics. But these tools can be costly to procure and implement. Business Intelligence and Analytics offerings from Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, IBM, Microstrategy and others leverage existing technology investments to develop integrated reporting and analytics that enable users to gain access to accurate, up-to-date information for better decision making. EDC’s use of business intelligence tools and technologies enable our clients to expand their business intelligence capabilities with minimal investment. Most DOD and government agencies currently have access to Business Intelligence and Analytics tools through their implementations of Microsoft SharePoint and SQL Server, resulting in the ability to take advantage of industry leading business intelligence capabilities at a lower cost than competing products that require the purchase of new software or new licenses.
