Enterprise Business Intelligence System for Banking Performance Optimization

The client currently faces complex and resource-intensive data integration processes, with inconsistent data from disparate sources requiring manual cleansing. The existing database architecture is heavy, difficult to extend, and hampers advanced analytics. Limited reporting capability affects timely, data-driven decision-making, and the organization lacks clarity on which BI platform best suits their needs. These inefficiencies restrict their ability to analyze performance and optimize product offerings effectively.
