Are You Ready for Modern Analytics?

SIS provides Business Intelligence solutions for our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and CRM project based clients who want to move into a modern analytics environment.

At SIS, we have developed and continue to invest in, analytic packages designed exclusively for specialty construction and project-based organizations. We develop our BI solutions with the insights SIS has gained working alongside these industries for the past 25 years. We have a suite of dashboards and a cloud architecture that industries can leverage to gain valuable insights to into their business. These dashboards are delivered along with a modern cloud data platform in Azure.

Once installed and configured, this modern cloud data platform will allow our clients the ability to utilize the base package and the ability to expand their data analytics platform. It is all based on industry-standard architecture. It allows ingesting of data from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Customer Engagement, and many other sources that can be cloud or on-premise. This modern cloud data platform will store, process, and serve the data to end consumers.

Below are questions and insights to consider as you make your journey through modern analytics:

Do I need a modern data warehouse?

  • Do you make data driven decisions?

  • Do you have multiple disparate enterprise applications along with D365 you want to mash up?

  • Are you using Power BI currently? Do you want to combine all data from all sources and all apps?

  • Do you want to pull business insights out of all your data?

  • Are you using Power BI against the Dataverse?

  • Are you looking for enterprise analytics that transform your business or out-of-the-box solutions that just help you run it?

  • Is your volume of data daunting, causing you to ask if you should use Data Lake versus Dataverse?

Business questions to ask

  • Are you effectively managing each of your project’s cash flow?

  • Can you quickly and easily understand you margin variances?

  • How well are your current and past projects being run? Does the system intuitively focus your management attention where it is needed most?  

  • Do you just have visibility to all your data or are you gleaning actionable intelligence from it?

  • How accurate and timely are you forecasts?  Do you have real-time view into your budget to actual performance or are you looking into the rear view mirror and making business decisions based on stale data?

  • Do you have a comprehensive look at all of the KPIs affecting your project performance with the ability to slice and dice the data as it comes in so that you actually drive the business performance rather then merely reporting it?

What we see

  • We are seeing clients pull combined data in from CE and report across as well as D365 Finance and D365 CE together through a Data Lake.

  • We are seeing clients move into Data Lake centric designs and wanting to connect D365 to a Data Lake so that it can be combined with other data sources for more consolidated reporting.

  • We see small businesses using low code/no code strategies enabled by Microsoft technology.

  • We see large enterprise companies wanting to migrate their BYOD (Bring Your Own Data) to Data Lake for enterprise analytics.

  • We see our clients using Data Lake for historical and current data, with whole machine learning using that to model and predict what will happen.
