Strategy Companion Corporation is a leading intuitive Business Intelligence (BI) software development company with products focused on the Microsoft SQL Server platform. It was founded in 2001 and is located in Irvine, California.
The basis for Strategy Companion is that it allows users to become empowered as technical and non-technical decision makers and allows them to easily create custom Corporate Performance Management reports, charts and tables. As a robust Business Intelligence application it removes the need for non-technical managers to be dependent on the IT team to build reports. It has also been created in such away as to allow for easy to follow visualization and presentation styles and the reports that are generated are set in the same vein. This also allows non-technical managers to view the right information, leading to better decisions and timely execution of business strategies.
Strategy Companion’s BI Analytics enhances the capabilities ofstandard Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 by adding a more interactive feel when dealing with the users own end data. It also enables the user to be able to run different scenarios based around the data allowing for a more complete visualisation of the analytics which confront the user. Strategy Companion Corporation’s BI Analytics for Dynamics CRM 4.0 features 25 pre-built, customisable reports focused on sales, marketing and service operations, enabling better monitoring and analysis of business performance. Interactive analytical reports such as campaign analysis, case analysis, contract analysis, customer profitability, leads analysis, opportunity analysis, opportunitywin/loss analysis, resource utilisation, sales quota versus actual analysis, sales value analysis and service performance analysis are visually represented in easy to understand reports and dashboards.
It is this in-depth pre-built reporting that while potentially constricting for those with a non standard organisation allows the user to generate a much deeper knowledge of all the departments they are reporting on and especially within sales and marketing.
While also being a very usable tool for users it has the possibilityto allow as many as 10 BI reports to be running simultaneously, it is not a particularly cumbersome piece of kit, and it has the ability to get the user using their own Microsoft Dynamics data, in less than ten minutes. Without having to resort to the building of a custom OLAP cube.
Who should use Strategy Companion? Strategy Companion is for those companies that enjoy multi layered management, the ease with which reports can be obtained and the speed with which they can be incorporated into Microsoft Dynamics gives real power to the end user, the constrictive limitations of the dashboards can be frustrating for those who have a less developed BI understanding, however this is more than remedied by the ease of understanding of the dashboards.
