The BI Practice at Convergent leverages its experience in data management and warehousing; analytics reporting and performance management tools; domain knowledge in Finance, HR and CRM processes; and specific experience in the Financial Services sector; to enable its clients to gain insight and improve their business performance.

On the business consulting side, we leverage our years of experience in Human Capital Management and Finance ERP implementations to offer full life-cycle implementation and packaged best practices in BI offerings for HR and Finance. In Financial services we bring experience from data warehouse and BI projects in private banking, investment banking, asset management and insurance.

On the technical side, Convergent differentiates itself from other BI consultancies and integrators, by bringing our technical performance expertise to BI. With ever increasing terabytes of data volumes; the need to process real-time operational data; and broader user participation, system performance and scalability is a key factor in any successful BI project, and many existing data warehouse and BI projects suffer from performance issues or bottlenecks. Convergent addresses this in two ways:

  • As a company we specialise in end-to-end systems performance and scalability and offer a specific  BI HealthCheck to ensure the technical performance of your specific BI implementation.
  • For high performance data warehousing, we are a Systems Integrator partner of Netezza, the leading global streaming analytics appliance, offering 10-100 times the performance of traditional data warehouse systems at half the price. Convergent can deploy Netezza, integrating with your existing BI analytics tools and backend ETL solutions to dramatically change performance and what you can achieve with business intelligence.
