Information Services
Turning data into management information provides mangers with the knowledge to improve their business outcomes. The right information at the right time means that resources can be utilised more efficiently, as well as being targeted to areas of specific need.
Management Information Strategy
Savill Consulting recognise the benefits of developing a Management Information Strategy for every application implementation, from the outset of the project.
Capturing data is only useful if you can provide information from that application as soon as the product is live. We believe that there are essentially three types of information need, as detailed below.
- Operational – Reporting to assist managers with work-load priorities
- Management Information – Statistical performance information for managers
- Data Quality – Reporting to allow practitioners to improve their data quality
Our consultants are skilled and experienced at encompassing all required information needs within one Management Information Strategy, which will deliver results from the moment your application is live.
Data Quality Strategy
Managing data quality is essential to providing accurate, good quality consistent information. Whilst many applications have field types that are either mandatory and/or contain validation formatting, some level of data quality reporting is almost always required to supplement good practice.
Savill Consulting are experienced in developing effective Data Quality Strategies that suit the business requirement. A good Data Quality Strategy should enable practitioners to regularly monitor and correct their own data quality issues, include processes to eliminate as many data quality issues as possible re-occurring in the longer term and by including a variety of improvement measures, help managers and management information specialists feel more comfortable about the level of data accuracy in the application.
Reporting Services
Report Specification
Helping practitioners and managers to extract the right reports from their application to help them to manage their services and teams better is a service offering Savill Consulting has significant expertise in.
Report specification can be complex. The report first thought of may not necessarily be the report that resolves the business need. Developing good reports comes from good consultation and discussion with the service or team that will ultimately use the report. In some cases it may not be a report that is required at all but an application change request, application alert or new process instead.
Savill Consulting are skilled at establishing the real business reporting needs and providing the right solutions.
