HousingMetrics from DSCallards

Many Housing organisations need to gather performance data on a weekly basis.  This data is used to monitor whether or not targets are being met and helps to set future goals.  HousingMetrics Business Intelligence and Performance Monitoring solutions meet the challenge of getting the right information to the right people a the right time.

The Business Value of Business Intelligence (BI)

In every organisation, employees make hundreds of decisions each day. They can range from whether to give customer X a discount, whether to start producing part Y, whether to launch another direct mail campaign, whether to order additional materials, etc.

These decisions are sometimes based on facts, but mostly based on experience, accumulated knowledge, and rule of thumb.

White Paper - BI for Mid-Sized Organisations

BI, also referred to as “decision support,” allows organisations to better understand, analyse, and even predict what’s occurring in their company. BI helps your organisation turn data into useful and meaningful information and then distribute this information to those that need it, when they need it—so they can make timely and better-informed decisions.

DSCallards BI Solutions

Business intelligence (BI) is the use of an organisation’s disparate data to provide meaningful information and analysis to employees, customers, suppliers and partners leading to more effective decision making.
