For IT
Every IT department is charged with being responsive to the reporting and analysis needs of their business users, but many struggle to effectively transform data trapped in transaction systems into meaningful business information. Even after reports are delivered, business requirements have often changed, creating frustration for everyone involved. Kalido has developed a suite of information management tools that eliminate much of the frustration by speaking both the language of business and IT – and bridging the gap between the two. Kalido’s Information Engine automates much of the manual processes involved with delivering information to enable IT to be more responsive to the needs of the business. With Kalido, you’ll spend less time delivering bad news and more time delivering the “true intelligence” that your business has been looking for.
The Kalido Information Engine and its approach to solving customer business problems were grown out of real-life experience in companies like yours, empowering you:
- to implement well-architected and engineered repositories to feed your BI tools with what is required to put the intelligence back into your business, to help answer the questions that your business poses in terms that the business understands
- to rapidly iterate to a solution in partnership with your business users – using a business model couched in their terms to represent requirements and to generate candidate solutions
- to concentrate on solving the real business problem – to the satisfaction of the business, in reduced timescales, with fewer resources, under-budget and with much less risk
- to deliver a solution that assumes that the business and its requirements will change, that actively supports change rather than acting as a barrier to it
- to deliver solutions that can start small but grow seamlessly to encompass your entire organization.
The Kalido Information Engine includes:
- Kalido Dynamic Information Warehouse – for the rapid, model-driven creation and evolution of data warehouses, consolidating data from multiple, disparate source to feed your chosen BI tools.
- Kalido Master Data Management – for flexible, consistent, workflow-driven master data management across all the dimensions of your business, driving your analytic applications and even feeding master data through to your operational systems.
- Kalido Business Information Modeler – a graphical business modeling tool to capture and present the underlying business model in terms that the business users comprehend and which is used to configure the other applications.
- Kalido Universal Information Director – to generate the metadata needed to automatically configure your chosen BI tools to operate with Kalido DIW and to maintain that metadata as your business and systems evolve.
