HP Launches BI Services To Help Customers Manage Complex Information

HP has announced new service offerings to help companies improve the governance and accuracy of their information and allow them to drive better business decisions across the enterprise.

HP’s new business intelligence services help companies establish an integrated view of information across their organisations. They also improve the quality of data and establish governance models to manage the information as a shared asset. The resulting improvements in decision making, operational efficiency and risk mitigation allow companies to use their information to make better decisions to meet business needs.

HP’s business intelligence services address this complex and challenging environment with three new offerings:

- Master Data Management Services: Enable customers to capture, manage, store and use master data elements consistently across an organisation. With a single source for trusted data, customers can look across information silos to understand complex information relationships. This enables organisations to understand the total customer relationship for cross-sell and up-sell opportunities, improve procurement process efficiencies and mitigate business risk.

- Information Quality Management Services: Help customers improve the quality of their information so that it is accurate, consistent and complete. This is achieved through a methodology that aligns quality initiatives with business objectives and puts in place the necessary stewardship programme, quality control framework and metadata management to help define, monitor and measure information quality.

- Information Governance Services: Provide organisations with a framework to ensure that data is consistent, available, accessible, auditable and secure. The services help customers protect, manage and develop data as a valued enterprise asset, while lowering the cost of managing it.

“With these new services, customers can better connect intelligence across the organisation and make business decisions with higher confidence,” said Kristina Robinson, vice president and general manager, Business Intelligence Solutions, HP. “Especially during these difficult economic times, HP is 100 percent focused on helping businesses address the most important challenges in enterprise data management to help them realise the full value of their business intelligence investments.”
