The key to thriving in a competitive marketplace is staying ahead of the competition. Making sound business decisions based on accurate and current information takes more than intuition. Data analysis, reporting, and query tools can help business users wade through a sea of data to synthesize valuable information from it - today these tools collectively fall into a category called "Business Intelligence." - from a Gartner Report

Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, applications and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information and sometimes to the information itself. The purpose of business intelligence is to support better business decision making. BI systems provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations, most often using data that has been gathered into a data warehouse and occasionally working from operational data. Software elements support the use of this information by assisting in the extraction, analysis, and reporting of information. Applications tackle sales, production, financial, and many other sources of business data for purposes that include, notably, business performance management. - source: Wikipedia

PoleVault understands that Business Intelligence is an attitude and a tool for a Business to increase its performance through intelligent use of business generated data for decision making.

PoleVault believes that BI initiatives are not an improvement on “reporting” and not some project done by IT department of a Business. We believe BI is an attitude of doing business, an attitude of managing performance of the Business, a tool to sharpen your intuition to drive the business towards the Vision you have set your eyes on.

We help organizations understand and appreciate that BI is far more than datawarehousing and reporting and is an important tool to advance their competitive position in the market. Once the organization starts viewing BI as a strategic tool, PoleVault helps properly apply it to prove its immense potential. The senior-level business resources need to be actively involved to leverage the tool to their advantage. It is a proven fact that the companies who position BI as an important business initiative led by senior management and supported by IT systems and resources, they get ahead of companies that don’t.
