What is Business Intelligence? - Pikom

Our Thought Leadership
KPMG frequently shares our Thought Leadership – white papers, surveys, articles – with clients and the marketplace.
The examples shown here are some of the pieces that are relevant to the client’s work.
Does your business intelligence tell
you the whole story?
Being the best: Thriving not
just surviving.
The Way Forward.
Three D’s for Improving Your
Forecasting Process.
This is a comprehensive explanation of why
some business intelligence projects are
successful and why many fail. KPMG
commissioned Cambridge University to perform
one of the most extensive research projects on
business intelligence. This KPMG point of view
is a distillation of KPMG thought leadership,
Cambridge research, and client experiences in
the business intelligence
area.
KPMG wrote this building upon research
conducted in 2006, when the firm and
the Economist Intelligence Unit found
that finance functions worldwide were
making an important and challenging
transition: from accountants with a focus
on historical reporting to business
partners who clarify the overall strategy
and help drive value.
KPMG conducted a share forum with a group
of executives from major companies to
discuss Financial Planning, Budgeting, and
Forecasting challenges and opportunities in
the current economic environment.
This white paper builds on KPMG’s
Forecasting with Confidence survey
results and addresses why companies
aren’t more successful in their forecasting
efforts. It introduces the “Three D’s” of
reliable forecasting – decisions, data, and
discipline – and discusses what is
required for each of these to achieve
reliable financial data.
