Save Time and Money Developing Your BI Applications Using BI Prototyping and Proof of Concept (PoC)

To help you select a tool, do you want to perform a proof of concept (PoC)? And are looking for realistic examples of dashboards, cockpits, or standard reports from the large number among your current and planned reporting system?

Would you like to design the requirements specification or the business blueprints for your reporting solutions in a more three-dimensional way, and thus create a better understanding among members of your IT department? Would you like to make the implementation shorter and reduce the number of subsequent changes?

For these and similar questions, we at mayato recommend the pragmatic use of agile methods from the area of usability engineering. When providing consulting services about deploying such methods, we draw on our many years of experience in designing and implementing reporting solutions from different providers (for example, SAP BusinessObjects, IBM Cognos BI, Microsoft Reporting Services, ORACLE BI Suite, MicroStrategy, and QlikView).

Depending on the progress of the design, the complexity of the application, and the user-friendliness required, we can vary the intensity of the software support we provide for prototyping. Specifically, we can provide paper mock-ups, flow diagrams, interactive simulations (for example, with Adobe Flash), and initial prototypes with your own reporting software on a test system. During the process, we strive to continuously involve the end users and stakeholders, as well as to balance realism and abstraction cost-effectively.
