Sci-fi, Kung Fu, and BI

There always seems to be a sense of fantasy to a businessperson when it comes to implementing new technology. With their lack of understanding and experience comes caution. And rightfully so. We are constantly bombarded with the latest product or service that will “instantly maximize profit”.

Business intelligence is different. At least with ConradBI.

Fans of Star Wars enjoy the fantasy aspect of sci-fi. Trekkies are more excited by the science. I’m in that rare camp of loving both – so there’s no sci-fi agenda here with what I’m about to say. Business intelligence is more like Star Trek. It is not mythical. There is a science and process to it – and we have discovered it.

Speaking of science, let’s go on a tangent for a minute. It is alarming at how many data scientists are showing up on LinkedIn. We recommend that you thoroughly vet any candidates before you hire them. Taking a 3-hour course and getting a certification doesn’t make you a data scientist. Building a fact and some dimensions “once” doesn’t make you a modeler. Using the words “data lake” or “forecasting” doesn’t mean you’re an expert. We have found that it is becoming more difficult to filter through and find good quality BI professionals. It is a hot market and people want to capitalize on great pay. So be careful.

Back to the topic at hand. Here at Conrad, we have developed a unique process and toolset that maximizes the voice of your data. If you listen to it, learn from it, and change your business, then your company can become the best version of yourself (i.e. maximize profits) – but that part is up to you. We are completely objective in voicing the story of your data. We present it in a consumable manner that allows you to derive unbiased insights quickly.

A fight scene with Bruce Lee is like watching a piece of art – but the reality is that it is an orchestrated process of many learned objective fighting techniques combined to produce results – with a flair of excitement. ConradBI is the Bruce Lee of analytics – maybe even Chuck Norris. 😊  We have the skill and experience – the learned fighting techniques – to tell the story of your data in a cost-effective concise manner. Our passion constantly pushes us to be the best of the best.

We can take your data where no one has gone before. May the force be with you. And…Be water, my friend.
