Greencastle Associates Consulting LLC

Business Intelligence Consultants use data to capture the pulse of current trends to better assist companies with KPIs, decision-making, and profitability. Consultants work with data from multiple locations. Data can be provided from a company database, be mined from the web or by leveraging a client’s company data. The collected data is then transformed to create a dynamic picture of the current state and the best path for a company to take in the future. 

Data visualization is about presenting large amounts of information in ways that are universally understandable or easy to interpret and spot patterns, trends, and correlations. These representations include charts, graphs, infographics, and other pictorial diagrams. These visualizations are typically ‘drillable’ in nature, providing a consistent interface for front-line workers and leaders alike. Business Intelligence Consultants use visualization tools and software to communicate information in these ways, for clients or for their own company.
