For those of us who work at Cloud 9 Strategies, a lot of people often come up to us in our personal and professional lives and ask us what we do. We could say “system integration,” but that’s boring. What I usually tell those who ask is that we harness data and turn it into valuable information for businesses and nonprofits. I know, it’s a mouthful, but it explains what we do extremely well.
Lots of organizations have what we call a “data problem.” They’re collecting a lot of data, in lots of different software programs, and storing that data in different discrete silos. The data, in many cases, is there. However, all of that data together is not being brought together and turned into usable information that employees can rely upon to make better, more informed operational decisions.
Quite simply, their data is out of control. It needs to be reigned in. It needs to be analyzed, related, acted upon. That’s, in a nutshell, what we do through system integration.
A lot of organizations, especially ones that have been around for a number of years, often have cobbled-together technology systems. For smaller organizations without IT staffs, this technological unwieldiness results in lost productivity and, worse, missed opportunities to move the organization forward and prosper.
Many of your competitors, meanwhile, have adopted new technology, and have integrated their own disparate systems, giving them a competitive advantage in the marketplace. While your organization is spinning its wheels, they’re flying through the air with the greatest of ease.
If that sounds like your organization, it’s time to put it all together. It’s time to transform your old systems into something new, something that provides capabilities you might never have imagined, something that opens your eyes to new insights and opportunities that you can put into practice every day.
To put it more simply:
Your data is the symphony. We arrange the music. Then, we hand you the conductor’s baton. It’s just that simple.
Let’s make beautiful music! Drop us a line and let’s start the conversation.
