Location Intelligence does not arise from discrete packages of information nor absolute barriers between practice areas and disciplines. It is, by nature, integrative - achieved by cross-informing one business area with information from another.
A chronic impediment to fully realizing the bottom-line value of location intelligence has been the disconnection (or total lack) of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and analysis from Business Intelligence (BI) systems. Under such conditions, users are missing out; their decisions and practices cannot be optimal. Locational decisions based on rough generalizations, haphazard guesses, or intuitional reckoning will only get you so far.
The Gartrell Group specializes in solutions that efficiently remove these obstacles and help our clients make better decisions informed by location. There are different approaches for different clients...
• Sharepoint? Performance Point? Hyperion? Business Objects? Cognos? SAP? SAS? Other?
Many customers need to integrate locational analysis into their dashboards or business intelligence systems. We will work with you to integrate BI and GIS, and IT'S EASIER THAN YOU THINK. We will get you through or around any barriers that are keeping you from fully including location in your business planning and analysis activities. This is more than another piece of software - this solution will change the way you think!
• No GIS? No Problem!
Perhaps your greatest obstacle to location intelligence is the location part - you don't have the GIS expertise, data, or infrastructure. For such clients we offer hosted GIS solutions that come complete with support. Engage with us, and suddenly you've got your own team of in-house GIS experts at pennies on the dollar compared to internal hires. Hosted solutions extend into the area of integration with Business Intelligence systems.
• Custom Tailored Applications
For some, there are very specific needs which are often best served by discrete applications designed for very particular purposes.
