Result Set Advisors

"A Query Tool Support Service . . ."

The chasm between information technology departments and business units is a difficult one to navigate, and never moreso than when data warehousing is concerned. The business knowledge resides in one camp; the technical know-how in the other. A confrontational approach becomes the norm, with territoriality and "blamestorming" the inevitable results. While IT generally knows what can be done, only the business units understand what it means to the organization. Data warehouses are a more complex and organic enviroment than IT professionals care to admit. It requires technical skill combined with business knowledge to be able to craft an accurate query and recognize the right result set.

". . . With A Commitment To Results"

IT doesn't generate revenue; business units do. So it's counter-intuitive for business units to budget and pay for data warehousing that doesn't meet their needs -- and yet that's just what happens time and time again.

Result Set Advisors was created, in short, to serve as a technically knowledgeable advocate for business units. We work directly with all the players concerned to make certain you get all of the data warehousing functionality that you're paying for. Vendors and IT aren't always wild about the idea of accountability. But the business units that actually bear the costs -- and are expected to produce results -- definitely are.

"Business Intelligence" doesn't mean making enormous investments in technology because your IT department says you should and various vendors happen to agree. It means providing your smartest and ablest business minds with the tools and training they need to lap the competition. On its own, your IT department simply will not get you where you need to be. But we can help. Result Set Advisors is your secret weapon. We put the intelligence back into BI.
