Next-generation business intelligence

Business intelligence in the cloud and tailored for the SME

The year 2022 marked the emergence of outsourced work even in small and medium-sized enterprises, but multinationals and large corporations had already been grappling with “smart” or multi-location work management for some time.

But to manage the business (even more so if it is relocated) with all the peculiarities and singularities specific to a company, a Business Intelligence platform is needed.

At Versya, we chose Microsoft Power BI, both for our internal use and for market offerings.

Features of Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Power BI is the Business Intelligence service designed by Microsoft that enables processing the flow of business data, “decoding” them and presenting them in graphical form.

Microsoft Power BI is able to adapt to new ways of using data, evolving with businesses and presenting itself in a lighter, increasingly Cloud-like guise.

Our companies evolve rapidly, and business models that used to last for several years now change after a few years-sometimes even in a few months.

To always have an up-to-date overview of company line performance, budget alignment, and customer portfolio Microsoft Power BI is the platform of choice that provides anintuitive and constantly updated interface.

Agile and user-friendly, Power BI makes it easy to collaborate with your work team and share detailed information with complete confidence.

This powerful platform is also able to work in tune with the leading ERPs on the market-Microsoft Dynamics Business Central and Arca Evolution, just to name a couple.

Thanks to Microsoft, business intelligence is really at the heart of enterprise data management.

Always-ready business intelligence in as-service mode

After testing it internally and verifying its effectiveness, we decided to offer Microsoft’s Business Intelligence in “as a service” mode.

We have thought for a long time about the most effective way to provide this service, comparing ourselves with client companies, and we have noticed that the planning and setting phase is the most complicated to analyze without dedicated staff.

Through our consultants and an initial assessment, we provide customized BI dashboards, with the data managed and sorted, also collected from dozens of different external sources based on the needs and information you want to visualize.

Data exported from web pages, tables, Analytics, Excel sheets, integrated into business management and usable through visual dashboards.

Decision-making support

Business Intelligence, fitting intuitively into the business workflow, enables all personnel to whom it is useful, to make informed decisions based on data that are always up-to-date and presented in an intuitive graphical form.

With Cloud accessibility, you can view up-to-date business data anywhere with the Power BI app for mobile devices, and configure alerts based on thresholds and critical data, enabling timely action.
