Managers, administrators, and analysts have been striving to extract meaningful, actionable information from their transactional data for decades.  For all but the most expert users, simply putting a reporting or data mining tool on top of the database doesn’t provide much help.

At J2, we take the approach that true business intelligence can only be achieved by seamlessly integrating reporting and analysis capabilities into the end user’s existing workflow.  That’s why we design our applications with these features in mind from the ground up.

Working with your organization’s key stakeholders, we start with a complete inventory of data elements and business intelligence requirements across various end-user groups and roles.  We design a data model capable of supporting fast generation of critical reports, and build an appropriate permissions model to make sure sensitive data stays secure.  And we follow through with user interface designs that deliver standard briefing-book reports, ad-hoc analysis capabilities, performance monitoring dashboards, and automated exception alerts to the users that need them.

Our business intelligence projects span multiple industries and applications.  Applications we’ve built have been used to measure profitability and ROI across complex retail inventories, conduct syndromic surveillance against real-time HL7 traffic, and correlate genetic markers to HIV suppression, to cite just a few examples.
